    • Abstract:
      Orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) is the therapy of choice for a variety of end-stage liver diseases. The 5 year survival rate for electively operated patients with non malignant liver disease is exceeding 70%. Crucial for patient management is the early referral of the patient to a liver transplant center where an interdisciplinary evaluation of the patient is undertaken during a short hospital stay. The diagnosis will be confirmed, the operability assessed, contraindications excluded and the conservative treatment improved. A timely operation is of extreme importance and is based on an estimation of the severity and the dynamics of the liver disease. The liver transplantation should be performed early in a patient with a preserved liver function in order to achieve the best results.
