Opening Up

It is critical to effectively use every available organ to meet the increasing demands for liver transplantation. Situs inversus is a rare congenital anomaly caused by obstruction of viscus rotation during embryonic development. Situs inversus was once regarded as a contraindication to liver transplantation because of the technical difficulties associated with the unique vascular anatomy and concern about achieving accurate graft positioning. Here, we present a successful case of liver transplantation using a graft from a donor with situs inversus totalis. The related experience will contribute to opening up new realms for the use of such rare organ resources.

Technical Proficiency

Liver transplantation for biliary atresia splenic malformation syndrome associated with situs inversus totalis is a challenging task due to the complexity of associated malformations and the technical proficiency required to overcome them. We present the case of a 6-month-old infant who underwent liver transplantation for biliary atresia. A reduced left lateral segment liver graft from a live donor (his mother) was implanted. The postoperative period was uneventful, and the child remained well on follow-up. Thus, such rare congenital anomalies no longer prove to be a deterrent for successful liver transplantation.
