    Abstract:
    Piggyback allogenic orthotopic liver transplantation was performed successfully on one patient with primary liver carcinoma. The operation took 11 h and 30 min. The resection of the liver in the patient was initiated by the ligation and transection of the veins within the third hepatic portal. The hepatic venous system was reconstructed with the end of the superhepatic inferior vena cava anastomosed to the side of the inferior vena cava at the angle of 30 degrees-45 degrees in the recipient. The hemodynamics was steadfast intraoperatively, without extracorporeal venous bypass. The patient had a good post-operative recovery. The patient died of respiratory failure caused by metastasis.
