Liver Transplantation: Challenging Controversies and Topics grew
out of a need I perceived within the fields of transplant
hepatology and liver transplantation. Liver transplantation has
rightly gained recognition as an established therapy for end-stage
liver disease. Few would argue that liver transplantation is one of
the few truly lifesaving and life-altering treatments within
medicine and surgery. Not many realize that 20 years passed from
the time of the first human liver transplantation in 1963 to its
acceptance as therapy by the 1983 NIH Consensus Conference on Liver
Transplantation. In 2008, 25 years will have passed since the 1983
NIH conference-a mere 25 years for a field that has provided
patients hope, doctors options, and to some the "gift of life. "
Many issues in liver transplantation involve indications, patient
selection, and outcomes after transplantation-these are standard
topics, covered by textbooks of hepatology and transplantation. In
contrast, the field of liver tra- plantation is young, evolving,
dynamic, and issues and decisions are often controversial. Thus,
Dr. Trotter and I, as well as our colleagues at the University of
Colorado, felt that a text with a different focus was required, one
that highlighted controversy and challenged dogma. Out of this
perceived need emerged Liver Transplantation: Challenging
Controversies and Topics. To meet the transplant community's need
for emerging information about liver transplantation, Dr. Larry
Chan, Dr. Igal Kam, and I initiated the Controversies in
Transplantation Conference.
