Abstract
Two general kinds of liver transplantation have been attempted clinically. With one approach, the host liver is removed and replaced with a homograft (orthotopic liver transplantation); alternatively, an extra liver is inserted at an ectopic site (auxiliary homotransplantation). This review concerns only orthotopic liver transplantation.
