| Abstract: | Pediatric liver transplantation has matured into a wellestablished, highly successful treatment for advanced pediatric liver disease. Recent 1-year success rates range from 85% to 95%. This unprecedented achievement is the result of careful selection criteria and optimal timing of transplantation, technical advances in surgical technique, and improved treatment following transplant. This report highlights many recent published findings representing advances that have led to current successful approaches. |
