  • Title: Liver transplantation in patients with situs inversus.
    Author: Todo S, Hall R, Tzakis A, Starzl TE.
    Journal: Clin Transplant; 1990 Feb; 4(1):5-8. PubMed ID: 10147625.
    Abstract:
    Two patients with situs inversus and biliary atresia were treated with hepatic transplantation, one with an auxiliary liver and the other with an orthotopic graft which was placed using a piggy-back technique. Both transplants functioned well initially. The auxiliary liver was rejected after 1 1/2 months, and the patient died after an attempt at retransplantation many months later. The recipient of the orthotopic liver has perfect liver function 10 months postoperatively.
