Abstract
A technique of orthotopic liver transplantation in the pig is presented. Details of modifications in anaesthesia, collection of blood, and preparation of the donor liver are given. The use of a single venous by-pass, end-to-end hepatic artery anastomosis, and vagal crush with pyloromyotomy to prevent gastric ulceration have simplified the procedure and so reduced the operation time.Keywords
