Transplantation of the liver combined with other organs.

Patients suffering from liver failure with other end-stage organ failures may benefit from combined organ transplant procedures. Liver transplantation has been combined with other transplants to treat otherwise-intractable diseases, such as advanced cystic fibrosis, primary hyperoxaluria, and cirrhosis. Multiple organ transplantation may be indicated following the resection of certain upper abdominal malignancies. Combining bone marrow and liver transplantation shows promise in improving the immunological tolerance of the liver graft.

Extending liver transplantation: reduced-size-, split-, and living-donor grafts.

The continued shortage of donor liver grafts has made it necessary to find new strategies for obtaining the best possible use of those available. Nowhere is the shortage more acute than in pediatric liver transplantation, where few liver grafts of appropriate size are available to infants and small children in need of transplantation. Initially, strategies were developed to fit larger grafts into smaller recipients. These techniques have been expanded upon, resulting in innovative procedures which increase the number of liver grafts such as living-donor liver transplantation and "split liver" techniques.
