Introduction: Primary hepatolithiasis is a rare disease in western countries and it is associated with repeated attacks of acute cholangitis. Without proper treatment, hepatolithiasis can lead to progressive biliary strictures and secondary biliary cirrhosis.
Presentation Of Case: A 40 years old male was admitted due to recurrent cholangitis during the last 18 years.
Context: Presently the MELD score is used as the waiting list criterion for liver transplantation in Brazil. In this method more critical patients are considered priority to transplantation.
Objective: To compare the results of liver transplantation when the chronologic waiting list was the criterion for organ allocation (pre-MELD era) with MELD score period (MELD era) in one liver transplantation unit in Brazil.
Background: Success in living donor liver transplantation is associated to donor vascular and biliar anatomy.
Aim: Compare pre-operative and per-operative findings in living liver donors related to portal vein, hepatic artery, bile duct and hepatic venous drainage anatomy.
Methods: Donors charts of living donor liver transplants done at Clinics Hospital of the Federal University of Paraná, Curitiba, PR, Brazil, were reviewed between March 1998 and August 2005.
