[Developments and challenges of liver transplantation in China].

With the vigorous promotion of organ donation after citizen death in China, increased utilization of marginal livers, and continuous expansion of hepatocellular carcinoma indications for liver transplantation, innovations in techniques such as auxiliary liver transplantation, pediatric liver transplantation laparoscopic liver transplantation, magnetic liver transplantation,and non-ischemic liver transplantation have significantly improved the number of liver transplantation surgery performed, patient survival rates, and graft survival rates in China, while complication rates have gradually decreased. As such,liver transplantation in China has now reached leading or advanced levels internationally. In the new development context,Chinese liver transplantation faces new opportunities and challenges for development. Evolutions in basic diseases of transplant recipients and tumor classifications of will further broaden the population eligible for transplantation and introduce new demands for liver transplantation procedures. Emerging technologies including artificial organs, xenotransplantation,and artificial intelligence are bringing prospects for advancing liver transplantation. Looking ahead, the progression of liver transplantation will go beyond prioritizing patient survival rates and graft survival rates alone, instead emphasizing improved quality of life for transplant recipients post-surgery to an even greater extent.
