ABSTRACT

Resumen La donación de órganos en Chile es insuficiente, con una tasa histórica de alrededor de seis donantes por millón de habitantes. Las reformas legales, mejoras organizacionales y campañas comunicacionales han permitido hacer del año 2019 el más exitoso en cuanto a donación de órganos y trasplantes. El trasplante hepático en Chile fue realizado por primera vez en el año 1969 en el Hospital Naval de Valparaíso, falleciendo el receptor precozmente. El primer trasplante exitoso fue realizado en el año 1985 en el Hospital Militar de Santiago. Desde esa fecha hasta la actualidad se han realizado 1.812 trasplantes de hígado, el 43,6% en hospitales universitarios, el 35,1% en clínicas privadas y un 21,5% en hospitales estatales. El 23,1% en la Pontificia Universidad Católica (PUC), el 20,6% en el Hospital Clínico de la Universidad de Chile (HCUCH), el 15,9% en el Hospital Luis Calvo Mackenna (HLCM), el 15,9% en Clínica Las Condes (CLC), el 14,3% en Clínica Alemana de Santiago (CA), el 5,6% en el Hospital del Salvador (HdS), 2% en Clínica Dávila (CD), 2% en el Sanatorio Alemán de Concepción (SA) y 0,9% en Clínica Santa María (CSM) De este total, 455 son en pacientes pediátricos, de ellos 63,3% en Hospital Luis Calvo Mackenna el 21,1% en la Clínica Las Condes el 7,7% en la Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, el 6,4% en la Clínica Alemana y 1,5% en el Sanatorio Alemán. Desde el 2015, aproximadamente el 80% de los trasplantes pediátricos se realizan en el HLCM. Sobrevidas reportadas en adultos van del 75% a 85% al año y de 75% a 92% al año en pacientes pediátricos dependiendo el período. Hay centros que nunca han reportado sus resultados. Se espera mejorar la educación en pro de una sociedad proclive en la donación, mejorar la organización de detección, mantención y procuramiento, aumentar la utilización de órganos, potenciar la utilización los de donantes cadáveres, con técnica Split o hígado dividido y, mientras no tengamos un sistema de donación que dé cuenta de las necesidades del país, mantener los programas de donante vivo. Finalmente debe motivarse a generaciones jóvenes para que se dediquen a esta importante actividad.


Organ donation in Chile is insufficient, with a historical rate of six donors per million inhabitants. Legal reforms, organizational improvements, and communications campaigns have made 2019 the most successful year in terms of organ donations and transplants. The first liver transplant in Chile was performed in 1969 at the Naval Hospital in Valparaíso. However, the patient passed away shortly after. The first successful transplant was performed in 1985 at the Militar Hospital in Santiago. As of that date to present day, 1.812 liver transplants have been performed: 43.6% of these in university hospitals, 35.1% in private clinics, and 21.5% in state hospitals. Of these, 23.1% were performed at the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile (PUC), 20.6% at the Universidad de Chile Clinical Hospital (HCUCH), 15.9% at the Luis Calvo Mackenna Hospital (HLCM), 15.9% at the Las Condes Clinic (CLC), 14.3% at the Alemana Clinic in Santiago (CA), 5.6% at the del Salvador Hospital (HdS), 2% at the Dávila Clinic (CD), 2% at the Alemán Sanatorium in Concepción (SA), and 0.9% at the Santa María Clinic (CSM). Of this total, 455 correspond to pediatric patients. Of these patients, 63.3% were at the Luis Calvo Mackenna Hospital, 21.1% at the Las Condes Clinic, 7.7% at the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, 6.4% at the Alemana Clinic, and 1.5% at the Alemán Sanatorium. Since 2015, approximately 80% of pediatric transplants are performed at the HLCM. Reported one-year survival range from 75% to 85% in adults and 75% to 92% in pediatric patients per year, depending on the period. Some centers have never reported their results. It is expected that education of a society prone to organ donation improves, as well as improving the detection, maintenance, and procurement of potential donors, increasing the utilization of organs, enhancing the utilization of organs from deceased donors with Split technique, and, while we are building towards a donation system that responds to the needs of the nation, upholding live donor programs. Finally, younger generations are to be motivated so that they dedicate themselves to this important activity.

ABSTRACT

In 1958 Francis Moore described the orthotopic liver transplantation technique in dogs. In 1963, Starzl et al. performed the first liver transplantation. In the first five liver transplantations no patient survived more than 23 days. In 1967, stimulated by Calne who used antilymphocytic serum, Starzl began a successful series of liver transplantation. Until 1977, 200 liver transplantations were performed in the world. In that period, technical problems were overcome. Roy Calne, in 1979, used the first time cyclosporine in two patients who had undergone liver transplantation. In 1989, Starzl et al. reported a series of 1,179 consecutives patients who underwent liver transplantation and reported a survival rate between one and five years of 73% and 64%, respectively. Finally, in 1990, Starzl et al. reported successful use of tacrolimus in patents undergoing liver transplantation and who had rejection despite receiving conventional immunosuppressive treatment. Liver Transplantation Program was initiated at Hospital Israelita Albert Einstein in 1990 and so far over 1,400 transplants have been done. In 2013, 102 deceased donors liver transplantations were performed. The main indications for transplantation were hepatocellular carcinoma (38%), hepatitis C virus (33.3%) and alcohol liver cirrhosis (19.6%). Of these, 36% of patients who underwent transplantation showed biological MELD score > 30. Patient and graft survival in the first year was, 82.4% and 74.8%, respectively. A major challenge in liver transplantation field is the insufficient number of donors compared with the growing demand of transplant candidates. Thus, we emphasize that appropriated donor/receptor selection, allocation and organ preservation topics should contribute to improve the number and outcomes in liver transplantation.


Em 1958, Francis Moore descreveu a técnica do transplante de fígado em cães. Em 1963, Starzl e sua equipe realizaram o primeiro transplante de fígado. Nos primeiros cinco transplante de fígado, nenhum paciente sobreviveu mais que 23 dias. Até 1977, aproximadamente 200 transplante de fígado tinham sido realizados no mundo. Neste período, foi estabelecida a solução de problemas técnicos do transplante de fígado. Calne, em 1979, utilizou, pela primeira vez, a ciclosporina em dois pacientes submetidos ao transplante de fígado. Starzl e seus colaboradores relataram, já em 1989, que a sobrevida de 1.179 pacientes submetidos ao transplante de fígado em 1 e 5 anos foi, respectivamente, de 73 e 64%. Finalmente, em 1990, Starzl relatou o primeiro uso do novo imunossupressor tacrolimo em pacientes de transplante de fígado que apresentavam rejeição mesmo com o tratamento imunossupressor convencional. O transplante de fígado iniciou-se no Hospital Israelita Albert Einstein em 1990 e já foram realizados mais de 1.400 transplantes. Em 2013, foram realizados 102 transplantes de fígado de doadores falecidos. As principais indicações para o transplante foram carcinoma hepatocelular (38%), cirrose hepática secundária ao vírus C (33,3%) e cirrose alcoólica (19,6%). Destes, 36% dos transplantes apresentavam MELD biológico superior a 30. As sobrevidas do paciente e do enxerto no primeiro ano foram, respectivamente, 82,4 e 74,8%. Um dos maiores desafios da área do transplante de fígado é o número insuficiente de doadores para uma demanda crescente de candidatos ao procedimento. Dessa forma, destacamos que tópicos relacionados à seleção de doadores/receptores, alocação e preservação de órgãos devem contribuir para o aumento e a melhora dos resultados do transplante de fígado.

ABSTRACT

O transplante de fígado (TxF) é provavelmente a maior agressão cirúrgica que um paciente pode suportar. Desde a introdução do TxF convencional por Starzl, o qual era baseado na ressecção conjunta do fígado e da veia cava inferior, o procedimento sofreu vários refinamentos. Em termos técnicos, o TxF é o mais complexo entre todos os transplantes de órgãos. Uma combinação dos avanços na técnica cirúrgica e cuidados intensivos vem permitindo um aumento na sobrevida pós-TxF. Uma revisão dos aspectos técnicos do TxF é descrita no presente artigo.


Liver transplantation (LT) is probably the biggest surgical aggression that a patient can endure. Since introduction of the conventional LT by Starzl, which was based on the resection of recipient inferior vena cava (IVC) along the liver, the procedure has undergone several refinements. In terms of technique LT is the most complex of all types of transplantations. A combination of advances in critical case and surgical technique has resulted in a significant improvement in overall patientsurvival after transplantation. Up to date technical aspects of orthotopic liver transplantation are described in the present article.

ABSTRACT

Hepatocellular carcinoma [HCC] represents one of the most common neoplasms worldwide. Liver trasnplantation [LT] is the treatment of choice for selected group of patients with HCC. LT is actually a consolidated therapeutic option for HCC because it cures both tumor and underlying cirrhosis. In 1996, the publication of a pivotal prospective study on less than 50 patients, transplanted for HCC under predefined criteria [single HCC < 5 cm or 3 HCC < 3 cm each], the so called [Milan criteria], showed a 4-year survival of 75%. However, the indication of LT for HCC treatment has evolved over recent years. The possibility of an extension of Milan criteria as indication for LT is already a debated issue. Living donor LT [LDLT] is an alternative option if waiting list is long and of fers the possibility of a LT after a short time. In this review, the current indications and results of liver transplantion for HCC have been dsicusssed

ABSTRACT

Since the first liver resection was carried out in Korea in 1959, there have been remarkable changes in the field of surgery. With technical advancement and the improvement of perioperative care, liver resections are widely performed and surgical mortality is approaching zero. In the early 1990s, liver transplantation evolved as a feasible option in the treatment of end-stage liver disease in Korea, with successful adult living-donor liver transplantation (LDLT) as one of the greatest achievements. Various innovations in surgical approaches have been introduced. We review the current status of hepatic surgery in liver disease in Korea.

ABSTRACT

Os progressos na preservação dos órgãos, na técnica cirúrgica e nos cuidados do pós-operatório permitiram o desenvolvimento do transplante de fígado. A aplicabilidade dessa alternativa terapêutica foi além das complicações da doença hepática crônica que ameaça a vida, e hoje inclui as doenças incapacitantes e os problemas relacionados à qualidade de vida. São elementos-chaves no transplante de fígado o encaminhamento precoce ao centro especializado e a identificação do melhor momento para o procedimento. O resultado pós-transplante hepático vai depender da intensidade da doença e do grau de descompensação pré-operatória.


The horizons for liver transplantation continue to evolve and expand. The advances over the past decade have been spectacular. Improved liver preservation made long distance organ procurement and less time-sensitive transplant procedures feasible. The decision process for patient selection and timing for liver transplantation is complex and incorporates multiple factors: survival rates, morbidities, resource utilization, and quality of life. Advances not only in surgical technique and immunosupression but also in immediate postoperative management are responsible for the substantial improvement in outcome that have occurred over the last three decades.

ABSTRACT

El transplante hepático ortotópico (THO), es la intervención quirúrgica que constituye el tratamiento definitivo de múltiples enfermedades hepáticas crónicas terminales, de algunas enfermedades metabólicas y neoplásicas y de las formas graves de insuficiencia hepática aguda. Requiere de exéresis total del órgano enfermo y de la implantación de un hígado nuevo obtenido de un donante cadáver en su misma localización anatómica. Clásicamente, la hepatectomía del receptor incluye a la vena cava inferior (VCI) retrohepática y la implantación del injerto con su VCI, es realizada mediante 2 anastomosis cava: una supra y otra infrahepática. La implantación tipo Piggy-Back, conserva la VCI del receptor y la anastomosis del afluente del injerto se realiza entre VCI del donate y la unión de 2 ó 3 venas suprahepáticas del receptor. Una modificación a esta técnica, es la implantación Piggy ûBack, con anastomosis cavo-cava latero-lateral (PB-CC-LL). El objetivo del trabajo es describir esta técnica y analizar sus resultados en una serie inicial de THO. Entre marzo de 1994 y noviembre de 2002 se efectuaron 29 THO en 28 pacientes; en 16 (55, 2 por ciento), se realizó una implantación PB-CC-LL. De ellos, 3 (18,8 por ciento) fallecieron de causas no relacionadas a la técnica de implantación. Un paciente (6,3 por ciento), presentó dificultad al vaciamiento venoso, corregido en el intraoperatorio. Se concluye que la técnica de implantación PB-CC-LL, es una técnica innovadora y útil a tener presente en la realización del THO en nuestro medio.

ABSTRACT

Between 1955 and the end of 1967, the framework of clinical transplantation that exists today was established in a small number of centers in continental Europe, Great Britain, and the United States. At first, the primary organ was the kidney, but efforts to transplant the kidney soon strongly influenced the development of liver and ultimately all other kinds of organ transplantation. This paper reviews the pertinent history of these developments as outlined in a lecture given in January 2003 in Bangkok on the occasion of the Prince Mahidol Award for a life's work in the field of organ transplantation.

ABSTRACT

Embora o primeiro transplante hepático da fase pós-experimental tenha sida realizado no Brasil em 1985, na realidade, os números atuais atestam quadro dramático para os brasileiros portadores de doença hepática terminal. Projeção para atendimento da demanda das listas de espera atesta a ineficiência do sistema de captação, bem como enorme distócia e injustiça nos critérios de distribuição dos órgãos captados. O número de novos casos registrados em listas de espera tem aumentado dramaticamente. Assim, nos Estados Unidos, o número de registros elevou-se de 616 em 1988 para 14.088 em 1999. No Brasil, não somente em função da falta de conscientização da sociedade e da classe média, mas agravado pela precariedade do Sistema de Saúde, o número de candidatos ao transplante hepático é insignificante frente à estimativa de uma população de quase 157 milhões de habitantes (3.200 transplante/ano). Este artigo aborda a política vigente do Ministério e da secretaria de Estado da Saúde de São Paulo, onde a grave distorção provocada pelo critério exclusivamente cronológico em detrimento da gravidade clínica de cada caso tem levado a índices de mortalidade inaceitáveis nas listas de espera das equipes transplantadoras. Discute, também, possíveis soluções para o quadro atual, considerado dramático

ABSTRACT

El transplante hepático constituye una de las intervenciones más complejas de la actualidad. Su indicación se extiende a todo paciente con enfermedad hepática avanzada y con una expectativa de vida no mayor a un año. Existen diversas técnicas quirúrgicas que se practican de acuerdo a las características del donante, tamaño del receptor y la posibilidad de obtener un hígado en situaciones graves. Entre las técnicas quirúrgicas se encuentra: la cirugía de higado reducido, el Split liver, el donante vivo relacionado y el xenotransplante. La anestesiología es una especialidad que ha incrementado sus conocimientos y tecnología a partir de los transplantes de órganos. La práctica de la anestesia en transplante hepático adopta características diferentes a los implantes de otros órganos. Se describe la técnica convencional utilizada en la anestesia para transplante hepático, como también el monitoreo necesario, los equipos especiales y síndromes clínicos asociados a esta intervención. Finalmente se describen los cuidados anestésicos del paciente transplantado sometido a una cirugía no transplantológica.
