Abstrakt: Over the last three decades liver transplantation has become an established therapy for patients suffering from end-stage liver disease. In 1955, Welch reported the first attempt at experimental heterotopic grafting of a liver in a dog [1]. The first known experimental orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) was reported by Cannon in 1956 at the University of California [2]. In 1963, Starzl performed a human-to-human OLT in a 3 year old child with congenital biliary atresia who died intraoperatively [3]. The following 2 transplant recipients lived for 22 days and 1 week, respectively [3]. In 1967, Starzl succesfully transplanted several patients [4] [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
