摘要
The probability of developing primary dysfunction(PD)is a function of the probability of ischemia/reperfusion(I/R)injury.The probability of I/R injury in turn,is a function of several donor and transplantation process variables,among which is ischemia time.Custodio et al studied the duration of a special type of warm ischemia and showed,contrary to what is known,that a longer duration is not statistically different from a shorter one in PD development.This finding opens the door to the unforeseen opportunity of training fellows in performing hepatectomies,since the duration will not jeopardize liver transplant outcomes,albeit with some precautions.
