title: [Extracorporeal reconstruction of arteries of a transplant of the liver for its subsequent implantation and surgical aspects of arterial anatomy the hepatoduodenal area].
abstract: Orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) remains the only and radical method of treating patients with terminal stages of chronic diffuse hepatic diseases (cirrhoses), of patients with various congenital metabolic lesions of the liver, autoimmune diseases characterized by lesions of bile ducts, as well as series of both primary and secondary tumorous hepatic lesions. Liver transplantation is one of the most complicated operative interventions. Difficulty of OLT is determined by multifactorial and well-coordinated work of various medical services at the pre-, intra- and postoperative stage of management. One of the important components of success in transplantation consists in providing adequate arterial blood flow of the transplanted organ, which is achieved by extracorporeal reconstruction of the transplant. Variants of arterial blood supply of the liver are observed in each third donor. These anatomical peculiarities increase probability of a surgical error, which is considerably higher if not taking into consideration the complicated anatomy of the donor organ and its misalignment with the anatomical peculiarities of the recipient. Surgeon's responsibility is especially great during taking out the liver from the donor, as well as during its preparation for implantation. Procurement of the liver and pancreas from the same donor for transplantation to two different recipients may be accompanied and followed by the so-called conflict of interests which the surgeon has to decide in favour of the both during procurement of the organ for its extracorporeal processing. The sequence of the presented surgical manipulations on hepatic and pancreatic vessels, as well as anatomical reference points make it possible to preserve the vessels of the maximum length for the both organs. A wide variety of the structure of hepatic vessels may be divided into three types, depending upon the number of the sources of arterial blood supply.
