Y1 - 2011 N1 - T2 - Rudolph's Pediatrics, 22e AB - Liver transplantation is now the accepted standard of care for the management of irreversible end-stage liver disease in children. Since the first successful liver transplant by Starzl in 1966, continuous improvements in patient selection, surgical technique and postoperative care, as well as advances in organ preservation and immunosuppression management have resulted in improved graft and patient survival. Earlier referral for transplantation, and advances in the clinical management of rejection, infection, and biliary and vascular complications have also contributed to improved outcomes.
