Abstrakt		Background. Almost thirty years have elapsed since the first successfull liver transplantation was performed. The results, in the begining being poor, gradualy improved. Now there is a remarkable chance offered to patients having untreatable liver disease. The overall 5-year survival after live transplantation is recently estimated to be over 70 percent. Liver transplantation is still a complex demanding and expensive surgical procedure. In the University Medical Centre in Ljubljana a liver transplantation programme was started back in 1988. In 1995 the first liver transplantation was accomplished. The execellent outcome of this event was a result of thorough and meticulous logistic preparations and proper education and training of all subjects involved. Conclusions. For the future it seems inevitable to establish a Transplant Centre in Slovenia. This would be economicaly reasonable provided the number of donors would reach the European standards and that the Center would be actively involved in all kinds of organ transplantations.
Izvleček		Izhodišča. Od prve uspešne presaditve jeter je poteklo že skoraj 30 let. Rezultati so se postopno zboljševali. Petletno preživetje po presaditvi jeter, ki je danes celo nad 70%, predstavlja za bolnika z neozdravljivo boleznijo jeter dejansko veliko možnost preživetja. Jetrna presaditev je zapleten, zahteven in drag kirurški poleg. V KC Ljubljana smo od leta 1988 pripravljali program jetrne presaditve. V letu 1995 smo presaditev tudi izvršili. Uspeh prve jetrne presaditve v Sloveniji je dokazal, da so bile večletne priprave na ta poseg primarno zasnovane in da so vsi sodelujoči strokovno usposobljeni za tak poseg. Zaključki. S pogostostjo transplantacij organov v Sloveniji še ne moremo biti zadovoljni. Menimo, da bi bila organizacija Centra za presaditev v Sloveniji nujna in tudi ekonomsko upravičena. To pa seveda le v primeru, če bi se število dajalcev približalo mednarodnim standardom in če bi transplantacijski center opravljal presaditve vseh organov (ledvice, jetra, srce, pankreas).
