Annotasiya

Abstract.

Living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) is becoming an important surgical procedure in many parts of the word given the shortage of deceased donor organs. The significant influence of religious beliefs and lack of relevant legislation creates hindrances to the increased use of such a life saving procedure as deceased donor organ transplantation. As the technical skills of surgeons and ICU staff continues to grow, the utilisation of LDLT also shows an increase. In Azerbaijan the LDLT procedure is under serious investigation and medical and public health professionals as well as lawyers have been studying the surgical and ethical and religious issues, potential risks to donors associated with the procedure and indications for its use.

It is well established that LDLT is a very complex and high demanding surgical procedure requiring not only advanced surgical skills but rather multidisciplinary team work of surgeons, intensivists, blood bank specialists, nursing staff, infectionists, immunologists, hepatologists, laboratory and other allied professionals. Only the concerted work of this team can ensure the success of the surgery and minimize the risks for donor.
