No full textIn situ split-liver transplantation is a new surgical technique where the bipartition of a single liver allows procurement of a right graft (segments I, IV, V-VIII) for an adult recipient (75% of the total liver volume), and a left graft (segments II and III) for a child recipient. The present study was designed to assess the effects of ischemia-reperfusion on right grafts obtained by in situ split-liver transplantation. To this aim, hepatic glutathione and conventional plasmatic markers of allograft function (alanine and aspartate aminotransferase, total bilirubin, prothrombin time, lactate dehydrogenase, gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase, and alkaline phosphatase) were evaluated in four adult recipients. At the time of reperfusion, a marked glutathione decrease was found in the segment VI in three cases, whereas the amount of glutathione in segment IV was related to the duration of cold ischemia in all cases. Upon reperfusion, a marked increase in plasmatic alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, and lactate dehydrogenase was found. A recovery in prothrombin time was observed from the first day in three cases. An increasing trend in total bilirubin, gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase, and alkaline phosphatase was noted from the second day after transplant. This preliminary study suggests a possible relationship between the duration of cold ischemia, amount of glutathione in segment IV of the right graft, and the trend in plasmatic markers of allograft damage during in situ split-liver transplantation in adult recipients.In situ split-liver transplantation is a new surgical technique where the bipartition of a single liver allows procurement of a right graft (segments I, IV, V-VIII) for an adult recipient (75% of the total liver volume), and a left graft (segments II and III) for a child recipient.
