Core Tip

Core Tip: A patient diagnosed with ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency required liver transplant surgery. After developing a binding surgical plan, we decided to perform a living-donor liver transplantation, using a laparoscopic donor liver resection. However, multiple biliary tracts were observed. We used “Plug-in” anastomosis for cholangio-jejunostomy and received satisfactory results.
