Transplante hepático: complicações pós-operatória

Abstract

This study aimed to identify complications presented by a patient after orthotopic liver transplantation immediate and mediate. Evidence based practice consists of the theoretical framework adopted, and integrative literature is the research method selected. A search of studies was performed in SciELO database, Medline and Web of Science, which sampled seven articles. The results showed complications in the hepatic postoperative which are biliary, biliary fistula, biliary strictures, hepatic thrombosis, late hepatic artery thrombosis, surgical complications (hemoperitoneum and vascular) graft (primary graft failure, acute rejection) and general (respiratory, cardiovascular, renal, hematologic, metabolic, digestive and infectious). Malnutrition should be treated prior to transplantation in order to lessen the chances of postoperative complications.
