[The evolution of surgical techniques for donor liver procurement].
The article is dedicated to the development of donor liver procurement and describes the technique developed by Starzl et al., as well as the method which T. E. Starzl named "a rapid technique" and which eliminates drawbacks of classical liver procurement technique of the former method. The authors describe a standard, simple and fast technique of donor hepatectomy. In addition, a technique of fast liver procurement from an asystolic donor is described. Advantages of the "rapid technique" of combined hepatectomy consist in its atraumaticity and a possibility of its application in utterly instable donors, because this technique makes it possible to begin effective organ cooling in a few minutes after the surgery is commenced.
