Between 1-1-1982 and 1-1-1988 52 children with an end-stage liver disease were evaluated to determine whether orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) would be appropriate. 24 children were accepted as candidates in the long term. Twelve were not accepted as potential recipients. The parents of 3 decided not to accept OLT as treatment for their children. Two children died before a suitable donor liver was available, so that OLT was carried out in 11 children. Two of these children needed a second transplant. In 3 children only a part of a donor liver was transplanted. Shortage of donor livers of small size is partly alleviated by using a part of a larger liver. The underlying diseases of the transplanted children were cryptogenic cirrhosis (1x), biliary atresia with a hepatoportoenterostomy (8x) and cirrhosis following neonatal hepatitis (2x). Ten children with OLT are clinically and physically well. Postoperatively a primary graft dysfunction occurred in one child. He was retransplanted. The median waiting time for a donor liver was 5 months. The timing for OLT has to take this in account. In treating children with end-stage liver disease (partial) OLT should be considered.
