Liver transplantation, which once was an experimental procedure of no practical interest, has become the preferred treatment for infants and children dying of almost all non-neoplastic end-stage liver diseases. Liver replacement is being provided by many well-trained teams on all of the continents, as is evident from the program today--the first international symposium on pediatric liver transplantation. I have been honored in giving the first paper in the process of introducing the remarkable work of a gifted younger generation of physicians and surgeons.
肝移植,曾是一项没有实际应用价值的实验性手术,如今已成为几乎所有非肿瘤性终末期肝病患儿的首选治疗方法。各大洲都有许多训练有素的团队在进行肝脏移植,这从本次会议——首届小儿肝移植国际研讨会——中可见一斑。我很荣幸能够在本次会议上率先发言,介绍一群有才华的年轻内科医生和外科医生所取得的卓越成就。
