Abstract:
:Pediatric candidates for combined liver/bowel transplant (LBTx) experience a very high mortality on the cadaver waiting list. Our transplant center has successfully used adult living donors to treat pediatric candidates for LBTx. We report the long-term follow-up of this unique cohort of organ donors. The charts of six adult donors for LBTx performed between 2004 and 2007 were reviewed. All the pertinent clinical data were carefully reviewed and integrated with phone interviews of all donors. A total of six children (average age 13.5 months) received living donor LBTx. Average follow-up for the donors was 42 months (range 29-51). The donors' median age was 25 yr (19-32); five women and one man. The average median hospital stay was nine days. There were no peri-operative complications. At present all donors remain in good health. Three of the five mothers became pregnant after donation. Five of the six children are currently alive and well whereas one died with functioning grafts six months post-transplant due to plasmoblastic lymphoma. Living donor LBTx is an effective therapy for combined hepatic and intestinal failure in children less than five yr. The donor operation can be performed with minimal morbidity.
