Research Abstract |
This study was conducted to improve the survival of the auxiliary liver using a small intestinal segment packed with liver microfragments by co-insertion of greater omentum. The engrafted liver microfragments were reorganized in the segmental intestine and exhibited an almost normal hepatic architecture even after the 60 or 90 days although these became completely necrotic when these were grafted without greater omentum. This method showed the possibility to develop an effective auxiliary liver.
