title: Auxiliary Liver Transplantation for Acute Liver Failure.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Auxiliary partial orthotopic liver transplantation is a technique where part of diseased native liver is removed and replaced with healthy donor liver so that, the left behind native liver could later regenerate.
  
  
  METHODS
  2 year 6 month old girl with acute liver failure due to Hepatitis A. She underwent a successful auxiliary partial orthotopic liver transplantation.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Successful native liver regeneration and immunosuppression withdrawal after two and half years of surgery.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  In selective cases of acute liver failure, auxiliary partial orthotopic liver transplantation could provide a chance for native liver regeneration and immunosuppression-free life.
