Objective: To analyze the perioperative and long-term outcomes of patients undergoing LT due to BDI in a tertiary care center.
Background: BDI is associated with significant morbidity and long-term impact on quality of life. LT represents the only possibility of a cure in patients with BDI who develop SBC.
Article Synopsis
- A 58-year-old man received bilateral proximal forearm transplants in 2012 and was monitored for 7 years to assess long-term functional outcomes.
- After the transplant, he experienced some complications, including hypertriglyceridemia and systemic hypertension, but managed to maintain a significant level of grip strength and overall function in his arms.
- By the end of the study, while he had improved limb strength and functional use of his elbow and wrist, he experienced some loss of fine motor skills and sensation, suggesting that proximal forearm transplantation can be beneficial for selected patients.
Background: The function reported after arm transplantation is deemed beneficial relative to the marked disability that upper arm amputation causes.
Objective: We report a 51-year-old man with a Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) score of 75.83 who underwent bilateral arm transplantation in October 2015.
Background: Orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) is the treatment of choice for end stage liver disease. Many studies show an inverse relationship between the number of procedures and operative mortality.
Objective: The objective of the study is to show the results of our center and determine if it can have comparable results to high volumen centers.
