Hepato-pancreatico Biliary and Liver Transplant Unit, University Department of Surgery, Royal Free Hospital and RFUCSM, UCL, London, UK.

Hepatic ischaemia reperfusion injury (IRI) lowers hepatic oxygenation and induces tissue acidosis.

This study investigates these effects through near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS).
