ABSTRACT

Auto liver transplantation (ALT) is a treatment option for patients with liver space-occupying lesion that could not be removed by conventional surgery and severe liver trauma,which also helps alleviate the shortage of donor liver.But many problems like the preoperative assessment,the tolerance of patients to surgery and anesthesia,delayed postoperative recovery of the liver function,primary non-function,liver failure and hepatic encephalopathy and even death still need to be addressed.Thus,it is particularly important to evaluate the operative indication,completely and accurately assess the preoperative liver function and liver function reserve,and reduce the perioperative mortality and complication in order to improve the prognosis of ALT.Combined with literalure and the experience in our center,this paper summarized the research advance of preoperative assessment in patients with ALT.
