The application of magnetic anchoring traction device in assisting donor liver bench surgery in classic orthotopic liver transplantation.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To explore the clinical application of a newly developed magnetic anchoring traction (MAT) system in the liver bench trimming and transplantation surgery.

Background

The conventionally limited space, vision, and exposure have always been a challenge for the quality of surgery in the liver bench trimming due to the fact that the exposure depends largely on the experience of surgeon. To deal with this problem, a MAT system is developed as an alternative support to enhance exposure. The preliminarily experiments on animals verified its feasibility and reliability in the practical use, and its clinical application and effects were examined in the present research.

Methods

A total of 20 DCD (donation of cardiac death) donor livers were collected and divided evenl
