title: [Technical progress in liver transplantation].
abstract: Throughout the history of liver transplantation many improvements have been made in the field of surgical technique. The technical progress improved results of liver transplantation; the split liver transplantation and living donor liver transplantation increased the number of cadaveric grafts, expanding primary the pediatric and later the adult liver graft pool. The authors present most of current methods of liver transplantation: orthotopic liver transplantation with or without preservation, of the inferior vena cava, "domino" liver transplantation, split liver transplantation, auxiliary liver transplantation and living donor liver transplantation.
