2nd Split Liver Transplantation Course – Endorsed By ESOT

We have the pleasure to announce our second “Split Liver Transplantation Course”. It will take place on the 9th of March 2022 regrettably still in the middle of global Pandemic.  With that in mind we are planning a webinar type event, where all registered participant will be able to attend several lectures.

Despite having one of the highest rates of organ donation in the world, Spain has only introduced a mandatory policy for liver splitting recently. With an overwhelming consensus and generosity from the transplant community and orchestrated by the Organizacion Nacional de Trasplantes, (ONT) all cadaveric organs younger than 35 are considered for liver partition, being the potential paediatric recipient the index case for that particular graft. It has transformed the children’s paediatric waiting list. 

In this second course we have invited a group of local speakers as well as several outstanding international speakers to focus on paediatric liver transplant. In particular they will address the always difficult topic of transplanting small infants where the traditional left lateral sector might be too large.

Additionally, we will discuss the role of liver splitting in complex HB surgery such as ALPPS, RAPID…

The webinar will finish with an online demonstration of several options to divide a liver and generate two functional grafts, mainly left lateral sector and full right /left hemilivers. 

We hope this course will be of interest and contribute once more to spread the implementation of this technique with the intention to increase the number of grafts for children without negatively affecting the adults’ waiting list.
