Experimental Clinical Model of Liver Transplantation in Large White Pigs Without Venovenous Bypass: Pre-, Intra-, and Maintenance Care

Practice-based on laboratory animals improves surgical skills and the development of experimental models aimed at new advances in this field. Perfecting our technique on the swine model, we could move forward to create a small-for-size model, test new therapeutic strategies, and define the boundaries for safely performing an enlarged liver resection or a partial liver graft transplant.
