Objective  To Investigate the indications, surgical technique and perioperative management of orthotopic liver transplantation.
Methods  Orthotopic liver transplantation was successfully performed on a unresectable liver cancer on caudate lobe, 2 cases with Caroli’s disease and 7 cases with advanced liver cirrohosis. A 11 year’s old girl with Caroli’s disease was performed on one reduced size liver transplantation (RSLT).
Results  The recovery of liver graft function was good after the operation in those patients without perioperative death. The case of liver cancer died of recurrent cancer on the 139th postoperative day, 1 case died of severe fungus infection and one died of gastric stress ulcer perforation, other 7 cases recovered well without complications.
Conclusion  The results suggest that unresectable central liver cancer, terminal liver cirrohosis or benign liver diseases combined with severe liver disfunction are good indications for liver transplantation. Good surgical technique and perioperative management are key points to succucess of the liver transplantation.
