Auxiliary partial orthotopic liver transplant for Criggler-Najjar Syndrome: Report of 2 cases from Pakistan.
J Pak Med Assoc Jan ;66(5):615-7.

Auxiliary partial orthotopic liver transplant (APOLT) is a treatment option for certain liver disorders where liver structure is preserved. It includes Criggler Najjar syndrome (CNS), urea cycle defects and familial hypercholesterolaemia. Liver transplant as a treatment modality has only recently become available in Pakistan. Here we report two paediatric cases of CNS type 1 where auxiliary liver transplant was performed to correct jaundice and prevent inevitable brain damage. Both recipients and their respective living donors had successful surgery and are doing well.
