Abstract

BACKGROUND: Living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) remains the only curative treatment for children with end-stage liver disease; however, complications of the procedure are associated with indications for early relaparotomy. Several risk factors associated with early relaparotomy after liver transplantation include pediatric end-stage liver disease (PELD) score, warm ischemia time (WIT), and cold ischemia time (CIT). Our study investigated the incidence and indications of early relaparotomy in postoperative pediatric LDLT recipients and compared the outcomes with patients who did not require relaparotomy.
