Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Liver transplantation is one of the main treatments for end-stage liver disease and has made significant progress in recent years. The introduction of new surgical techniques, immunosuppressive drugs, and organ preservation methods has improved the success and survival rates of liver transplantation. However, the problem of donor shortage still exists, and the long-term use of immunosuppressive drugs may lead to side effects and complications. In addition, postoperative care and complication management are critical to patient recovery and survival. This Special Issue will summarize improvements in liver transplantation techniques, donor shortage issues, immunosuppression and rejection, and postoperative care and complication management.
This Special Issue aims to promote scholarly communication and provide valuable information to physicians, researchers, and patients. We invite researchers working in the field of liver transplantation and related areas to submit their findings as original articles or reviews to this Special Issue.
Dr. Paolo De Simone
Guest Editor
