Liver transplantation has become a victim of its own success in that there are no longer enough suitable livers for transplantation while at the same time the indications for transplantation increase. Efforts to expand the number of recipients who benefit from this life-saving procedure are being made, in particular through the use of split grafts and live donors. However, such grafts are associated with increased morbidity and mortality related to their reduced size.
肝移植因其自身的成功而成为受害者,原因在于可供移植的合适肝脏已不再充足,与此同时移植指征却在增加。人们正在努力扩大受益于这一挽救生命手术的受者数量,特别是通过使用劈裂式移植物和活体供体。然而,这类移植物因其尺寸减小而导致发病率和死亡率上升。
