title: [Transplantation of the liver right lobe from a related donor].
abstract: From 1997 to 2003 transplantation of liver's right lobe from alive related donor was performed in 64 patients (28 men, 36 women) aged from 6 to 61 years (mean age was 22.6 +/- 3.2 years). Body weight of recipients ranged from 18 to 92 Kg (52.7 +/- 2.8 Kg on average). Indications for surgery were following: cirrhosis of liver due to Wilson's disease (34), primary sclerotic cholangitis (6), viral cirrhosis of liver (6), primary biliary cirrhosis (4), Bayler's disease (3), Caroly's disease (3), Budd-Chiary syndrome (3), secondary biliary cirrhosis (2), cirrhosis of liver due to deficient of alpha(1)-antitrypsin (1), hepatocellular carcinoma (1), total nodular transformation of liver (1). Intensive care before transplantation was needed for 68.75% potential recipients. Donors of liver's right lobe were relatives of patients similar to blood group. Age of donors ranged from 18 to 49 years, mean age was 37.9 +/- 1.4 years. Donors underwent right-sided hemihepatectomy, there were no complications. Lethal outcome in recipients was seen in 2 (3.1%) cases and was not associated with function of transplant. Lethal outcome in long-term period after transplantation was seen in 4 (6.5%) cases. All the others patients survived and followed from 1 to 73 months (23.8 +/- 2.4 months on average). Quality of life was good. Transplantation of liver's right lobe from related donor is the independent line in orthotopic transplantation of liver and ensure reliable results.
