Assessment and Transplantation of Orphan Donor Livers: A Back‐to‐Base Approach to Normothermic Machine Perfusion
Janske Reiling, Nick Butler, Andrew Simpson, Peter Hodgkinson, Catherine Campbell, David Lockwood, Kim Bridle, Nishreen Santrampurwala, Laurence Britton, Darrell Crawford, Cornelius H. C. Dejong, Jonathan Fawcett – 18 July 2020 – Globally, a large proportion of donor livers are discarded due to concerns over inadequate organ quality. Normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) allows for hepatocellular and biliary viability assessment prior to transplantation and might therefore enable the safe use of these orphan donor livers.

Pure Laparoscopic Donor Hepatectomy: A Multicenter Experience
Suk Kyun Hong, Gyu‐Seong Choi, Jaryung Han, Hwui‐Dong Cho, Jong Man Kim, Young Seok Han, Jai Young Cho, Choon Hyuck David Kwon, Ki‐Hun Kim, Kwang‐Woong Lee, Ho‐Seong Han, Kyung‐Suk Suh – 17 July 2020 – According to recent international consensus conferences, pure laparoscopic donor hepatectomy (PLDH), particularly right and left hepatectomies, is not yet considered a standard practice because studies remain limited. Thus, we present the outcomes of more than 500 PLDH patients, mostly receiving a right hepatectomy. To our knowledge, this is the largest study to date on PLDH.
Liver Care and Surveillance: The Global Impact of the COVID‐19 Pandemic
Hidenori Toyoda, Daniel Q. Huang, Michael H. Le, Mindie H. Nguyen – 17 July 2020 – As social distancing and strict stay‐at‐home orders have been instituted to slow the spread of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19), unintentional outcomes among those with chronic diseases including screening for the lethal hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) may be occurring. We aimed to describe the changes in liver care before and after COVID‐19 restricted access to health care.

Al‐Faraaz Kassam, Gillian R. Goddard, Michael E. Johnston, Alexander R. Cortez, Andrew T. Trout, Todd M. Jenkins, Alexander G. Miethke, Kathleen M. Campbell, Jorge A. Bezerra, William F. Balistreri, Jaimie D. Nathan, Maria H. Alonso, Gregory M. Tiao, Alexander J. Bondoc – 16 July 2020 – The etiology of portal hypertension (pHTN) in children differs from that of adults and may require different management strategies. We set out to review the etiology, management, and natural history of pHTN at a pediatric liver center.
