Liver transplantation is a technically demanding procedure that leaves little room for error. The surgical techniques of liver transplantation have evolved dramatically over the past 30 years, with striking improvements in outcomes. These improvements have resulted from standardization of operative techniques and postoperative management, including clear communication between surgeons, anesthesiologists, and ancillary teams, as well as advances in anesthesia and critical care. Although liver transplantation is a long and complex surgical procedure, it nevertheless comprises a series of discrete steps that are detailed herein, each requiring satisfactory completion to assure a favorable outcome for the patient.
