Liver transplantation--1978.

IN THE 2 years since the last meeting of this Society, the prospects in liver transplantation have improved. Thus, the following remarks will focus mainly on recent history. In so doing, they will also emphasize some troubling questions that remain in this field. Most of these unresolved issues in liver transplantation have been developed from two large series: one, our own, and the other, that originated from the combined Cambridge-King’s College effort in England. Other workers throughout the world have had less extensive and, for the most part, unreported experience that we have not been able to accurately compile for this meeting.
