Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a very difficult public health problem in the world. Patients often experience the trilogy of "hepatitis-cirrhosis-liver cancer". Patients with decompensated cirrhosis may develop a variety of complications, such as portal hypertension, hypersplenism, esophageal and gastric variceal bleeding, ascites, spontaneous peritonitis, hepatic encephalopathy, etc.

Liver transplantation is the only way to cure hepatitis B cirrhosis. However, the shortage of liver donors still severely limits its development. In 2015, Line and others proposed a new surgical method, namely resection and partial liver segment 2-3 transplantation with delayed total hepatectomy (RAPID). This surgery innovatively combines auxiliary liver transplantation and ALLPS surgery, which can greatly alleviate the problem of liver donor shortage and improve the overall prognosis of the above-mentioned patients.

Our center has designed the Sequential Adult Left Lateral Liver Transplantation (SALT) procedure based on the principles of RAPID surgery and the characteristics of patients with cirrhosis. Compared with RAPID surgery, SALT surgery can dynamically monitor and regulate the blood flow of the residual liver and transplanted liver, reducing the risk caused by portal hypertension. This study will evaluate the safety and effectiveness of SALT in the treatment of post-hepatitis B cirrhosis.
