Abstract

Liver transplantation has become the curative surgical therapy of end-stage acute, chronic and metabolic liver disease. This has been made possible by improvements in surgical techniques, such as segmental liver transplantation and by improvements in liver preservation. In parallel, advances in immunosuppression and anti-infective therapy have been achieved. As a result of this progress there is an increasing demand for liver transplantation which raises questions for ethical and socioeconomic consideration.
