[Orthotopic liver transplantation. Experience in the University Hospital of Monterrey, N.L].
BACKGROUND
Several programs of organ and tissues transplantation have been developed for over a decade at the University Hospital.


OBJECTIVE
To describe long term complications and survival in the liver transplant program at the University Hospital, UANL.


METHODS
The long term complications and survival were analyzed in the liver transplant program at the University Hospital Dr. José Eleuterio González in the period between 1991 and 2011.


RESULTS
Ninety six liver transplants were performed during this period, four of them received one re-transplant and one patient received 2 retransplants. Most common long term complications were metabolic 62%, bony 31% and infectious 28%. Median survival was 78 months.


CONCLUSIONS
