Assessment of sexual function and conjugal satisfaction prior to and after liver transplantation.

Background: The aims of this study were to assess sexual function and conjugal satisfaction in patients prior to and after liver transplantation, and in comparison to healthy individuals.

Conjugal satisfaction was assessed with the Locke-Wallace Marital Adjustment Test.

Factors predicting survival after post-transplant hepatocellular carcinoma recurrence.

Background: Although factors associated with an increased risk of recurrence after liver transplantation for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) have been extensively studied, the history of patients with a post-transplant recurrence is poorly known.

Methods: Patients experiencing a post-transplant HCC recurrence from 1996 to 2011 in two transplant programs were included. Demographic, transplant, and post-recurrence variables were assessed.
