description Objective: to present an analysis of the results of 100 cadaveric liver transplants performed at Botkin Hospital from July 2018 to October 2021. Materials and methods. From July 2018 to October 2021, 100 orthotopic liver transplantation (LTx) from a deceased donor were performed at the surgical clinic of Botkin Hospital. The recipients were 58 males (58%) and 42 females (42%). The mean age of the recipients was 48.73 ± 8.56 (24–66) years, while their mean MELD was 19.54 ± 4.35 (15–33). The main indications for LTx were cirrhosis resulting from chronic viral hepatitis (CVH) C (52%), nutritional-toxic cirrhosis (20%), autoimmune liver and bile duct disease (18%), CVH B (7%), and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) (3%). During the period under study, 119 potential liver transplant donors were evaluated. The mean age of the donors was 44.2 ± 11.12 (21–63) years. Median levels of sodium, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and bilirubin were 141 (138–146) mmol/L, 27 (20.7–47.4) units/L, 25 (17–41.5) units/L, and 9.65 (6.42–13.7) μmol/L, respectively. The median graft hepatic steatosis was 10% (5–15). LTx was performed using the piggyback technique (99/100 cases) and classic technique with inferior vena cava resection (1/100). End-to-end porto-portal vein anastomosis was performed (99/100 cases). Anastomosis of the donor organ’s portal vein with the recipient’s left gastric vein due to occlusive thrombosis of the recipient’s portal vein was carried out (1/100). In all cases, a continuous end-to-end arterial anastomosis was formed. End-to-end choledochocholedochal anastomotic strictures (95/100) and end-to-side hepaticojejunostomy (5/100) were formed. Results. Median cold ischemia time was 312.5 minutes (280–380). Mean operative time was 488.91 ± 65.34 (95% CI: 475.9–501.9) minutes, median intraoperative blood loss was 1000 (600–1500) mL. Thirty-day mortality was 2% (Clavien–Dindo class V). Early postoperative complications (Clavien–Dindo class IIIa–IVa) developed in 12/100 patients (12%). Graft arterial thrombosis occurred in 3 cases (3%), biliary anastomotic strictures in 6 (6%), and subhepatic hematoma in 2 (2%). The average intensive care unit (ICU) bed day was 2.34 ± 1.67 (1–8). Total postoperative bed-day was 14.63 ± 5.35 (10–39). During case follow-up, a prolonged form of calcineurin inhibitor (CNI) was administered as immunosuppressive therapy in mono regimen (85 patients), in combination with mycophenolic acid derivatives (7), and in combination with everolimus (6). Of the 93 patients, 46 patients (49.46%) had the new coronavirus infection (COVID-19) before or after transplantation; in no case did COVID-19 lead to death. Six patients (13.04%) were hospitalized due to COVID-19. To date, 33/93 (25.48%) patients have been vaccinated, resulting in 75 (75%) liver transplant recipients immune to COVID-19. The overall 1-year survival rate was 95% and the 3-year survival rate was 91%. Conclusion. Introduction of LTx in multidisciplinary hospitals allows to, already at the start of the program, achieve immediate and long-term treatment outcomes (in decompensated diffuse liver disease) that are comparable to those of leading transplantation centers.
