title: [Living related liver transplantation: a case report].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study a case of living related liver transplantation.
  
  
  METHODS
  The patient was a 10-year-old girl who suffered from congenital diffuse intrahepatic cholangiectasis, recurrent cholangitis and hepatocirrhosis. The donor was the patient's father aged 40. The left lateral lobe of donor's liver was cut and grafted to the patient. Intensive care and treatment as well as follow-up were given after operation.
  
  
  RESULTS
  For the donor, the operation lasted 400 min, with 410 ml bleeding and 300 g liver removed. The recovery was satisfactory. For the recipient, the operation lasted 652 min, with 1665 ml bleeding, 80 min non-liver stage, 0 min graft hot ischemic stage, and 137 min cold ischemic stage. Immunosuppressive therapy was given using cyclosporin A, azathioprine and adrenocortical hormones. There was an acute rejection 11 days after operation, which was controlled using hormone impulsive therapy. The patient has been surviving 7 months with normal liver function.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The living related liver transplantation is feasible under modern surgical conditions. It is demonstrated that perfect postoperative management is the key for the successful liver transplantation.
