The impact of surgeon fatigue on patient outcomes has not been previously studied. In order to assess the relationship of surgeon workload to patient outcome, we analyzed the impact of the interval between liver transplants and the cumulative number of liver transplants in a week on patient outcome.

Tumor recurrence after liver transplantation for hepatocellular carcinoma is associated with a poor prognosis. Because immunosuppression is a well-known risk factor for tumor growth, it is surprising that its possible role in the outcome of liver transplantation has been poorly evaluated. We perform
Patients with clinical acute alcoholic hepatitis (AAH) are not considered suitable candidates for orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT). The histological correlates of AAH are often seen in the explanted liver at the time of transplantation. The importance of these findings remains inconclusive reg
While the number of candidates for liver transplantation has increased in the recent years, the pool of cadaveric donor organs has remained constant and the waiting time progressively increases. These facts led us to start a program of adult-to-adult living-donor liver transplantation in 1998. The a
