Authors report an experimental model of total hepatectomy in the rat. In this model whole liver was replaced by an autologous vascular prosthesis. On the contrary as reported in other experiences, in this model is maintained the cavo-caval flow, with absence of cavo-caval and porta-caval shunts. Anhepatic rats survival not exceeded two hours from surgery.

Objective: This study aims to investigate the impact of surgical experimental variables on the prognosis of orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) in rats, with the goal of enhancing the efficacy of modeling techniques.
Methods: Using Kamada's "two-cuff method" of rat orthotopic liver transplantation, 76 pairs of SD-Wistar rats were performed orthotopic liver transplantation from March to September 2023. Thirteen experimental factors during the perioperative period and the survival time of recipient rats were collected and recorded.

Background: Liver failure remains a critical clinical challenge with limited treatment options. Cross-circulation, the establishment of vascular connections between individuals, has historically been explored as a potential supportive therapy but with limited success. This study investigated the feasibility of combining cross-circulation with a rapidly deployable veno-venous bypass (VVB) graft for multi-organ support in a rat model of total hepatectomy, representing the most severe form of liver failure.

Small animal transplant models are indispensable for organ tolerance studies investigating feasible therapeutic interventions in preclinical studies. Rat liver transplantation (LTx) protocols typically use an orthotopic model where the recipients' native liver is removed and replaced with a donor liver. This technically demanding surgical procedure requires advanced micro-surgical skills and is further complicated by lengthy anhepatic and lower body ischemia times.

Rat orthotopic liver transplantation (ROLT) serves as an ideal animal model and has gained popularity in addressing complications and perioperative treatments related to clinical liver transplantation. Through extensive research on ROLT model construction, the conventional "two-cuff" method has gradually become established. However, traditional methods still present challenges including limited visual field during vascular suturing, vascular torsion, biliary tract injuries, and prolonged anhepatic periods.

Article Synopsis
- Rat liver transplantation (LT) is important for training surgeons in microsurgery, but mastering the techniques can be challenging; there is a need for effective training protocols.
- The study presents a structured five-step training protocol that allows surgeons to learn rat LT efficiently over a three-month period, emphasizing continuous practice and specific procedures for skill mastery.
- By systematizing training and setting clear operational goals, the protocol aims to improve surgical success in preclinical research and enhance young surgeons' skills in vascular anastomoses for human surgeries.
