title: [Liver transplantation in children].
abstract: The liver transplant programme has been initiated after the first good results of the adult transplant programme have been obtained. Initially a few children were transplanted yearly and the lower age limit was 3 years. However, the good results and the introduction of reduced size liver transplants made liver transplantation even in infants possible. In this paper the results are presented of the first 40 children who got a liver transplant.
