Abstract
Background: Massive transfusion and transient portal vein clamping during liver transplantation may cause abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) related with mesenteric congestion. Especially in pediatric cases, the risk of ACS is increased due to the large for size syndrome caused by organ size mismatch. In the area of general pediatric surgery such as correction of gastroschcisis or omphalocele, abdominal closure for correction of defect using ePTFE-GoreTex is the well-established method. The purpose of this study is to describe the ePTFE-GoreTex closure method in patients with or at high risk of ACS among pediatric liver transplant patients, and to investigate the long-term prognosis and outcomes.
