Liver transplantation is a complex procedure that requires a truly multidisciplinary team approach with anaesthetic involvement from the outset in order to ensure excellent outcomes. Before a patient is placed on the waiting list for a liver transplant, a thorough evaluation is undertaken and his/her suitability for transplantation discussed in a patient selection committee meeting. The perioperative management of patients requiring transplantation can be challenging because of the systemic implications of liver disease, approaches to surgical technique and the quality of the grafts used; an increase in the use of marginal donor organs to meet the organ demand poses its own unique difficulties.
