Abstract
Liver transplantation is a surgical procedure offered to individuals with irreversible, near fatal liver disease. The timing of both transplantation listing and surgical engraftment are critical factors in the success of this endeavour. To accomplish each and maintain surgical survival rates without prematurely transplanting individuals to achieve excellent outcome statistics is an art that requires knowledge about the procedure and the natural history of the specific liver disease in question. Herein are the views of the transplant team at Loyola University of Chicago as to how this can be accomplished within the framework of the American experience, and the rules and regulations governing donor organ procurement and allocation in the United States.
肝移植是一种提供给不可逆的、几乎致命的肝病患者的外科手术。移植清单和手术植入的时机是这一努力成功的关键因素。要在不过早移植个体的情况下完成每一项手术并维持手术存活率,以获得出色的结果统计,这是一门艺术,需要了解手术过程和所讨论的特定肝脏疾病的自然史。以下是芝加哥洛约拉大学(Loyola University of Chicago)移植团队的观点,即如何在美国经验的框架内实现这一目标,以及美国有关捐赠器官获取和分配的规章制度。
