Tongji Hospital's "new liver" baby has overcome the most difficulties and returned to his mother's arms

"Before the operation, every day my heart was sinking, I don't know when the worst outcome will be; after the operation, every day is also suffering and worrying. Thanks to the nurses every day for bringing me some news of the slow recovery of Yang Yang, I can persevere. The moment she saw Yang Yang, Yang Yang's mother's eyes were red and she said excitedly. Yang Yang's grandmother folded her hands and kept thanking every medical staff member of Professor Feng's team.

"The overall success rate of liver transplant surgery is now close to 98%." Professor Feng Jiexiong said. After careful treatment by the medical staff in the intensive care unit, Yangyang has completely receded, liver function is close to normal, the most difficult postoperative three passes: postoperative bleeding, anti-rejection, anti-infection, Yangyang has been broken, it can be said that liver transplant surgery has initially won. "Follow-up and continue to observe for a few days, if there is no secondary infection problem, about a week or so, YangYang can go home with his mother."

It is understood that on March 21, Professor Feng Jiexiong's team of pediatric surgery at Tongji Children's Hospital performed a parental liver transplant operation for Yangyang, and now that the 11-day dangerous period has passed, Xiaoyangyang's body has "accepted" his mother's newborn liver. Now doctors also need to accurately adjust the dose of Yangyang anti-rejection drugs, so that the new liver is not rejected at the same time, but also will not be because of low immunity secondary infection problems, just like the two ends of the balance, more than one point less than one point can not be. One month after discharge, three months after discharge, Tongji Children's Hospital will conduct follow-up management of Yangyang, including medical care, growth and development and quality of life protection. Feng Jiexiong said that the current 5-year survival rate after liver transplantation has reached more than 95%, and the world's longest child liver transplanter has survived for 50 years and has also been married and have children. With the improvement of transplant surgery techniques, the emergence and application of immunosuppressants, the improvement of perioperative management and the development of multidisciplinary medicine, the survival rate of pediatric liver transplant recipients will be significantly improved.
