Abstract
The first attempt to replace a human liver was made at the University of Colorado, Denver, in 1963 by T.E. Starzl and colleagues. Several years later teams in Boston and Denver had developed techniques for liver trans-plantation in dogs. Until 1967 these efforts were followed only by consecutives failures in three American institutions. The first extended survival of a human recipient was achieved in 1967 by the group around T. E. Starzl in Pittsburgh, USA. In Europe, Calne at Cambridge University, UK, started his programme 1968 and Gütgemann in Bonn, West Germany, tried at first in Germany to transplant human livers. At time, more than 50 orthotopic transplantations were done every year at Hannover Medical School.
