Le résumé fourni par la source

OBJECTIVE: To analyze primary results of living related liver transplantation in the Republic of Uzbekistan. MATERIAL AND METHODS: There were 44 living related transplantations of the right liver lobe in patients with decompensated liver failure between February 2018 and February 2023. RESULTS: Uneventful postoperative period was observed in 17 (38.6%) recipients. Other 27 patients (61.4%) developed 47 various postoperative complications (1-3 events per a patient). Of these, 8 (18.2%) patients required early postoperative re-laparotomy. Among 44 patients, 9 (20.5%) ones died in early postoperative period, and one patient died in long-term period (3 years after transplantation) from chronic rejection under refusal to take immunosuppressive drugs. Early satisfactory results were obtained in 79.5% of patients, long-term favorable outcomes - in 77.3% of cases. CONCLUSION: Engraftment rates and survival of recipients to a large extent depend on surgical strategy, baseline disease and clinical severity. The so-called "center effect" is essential at initial stages of implementation of the program.
