%X pediatric liver transplantation has evolved over the last two decades into an effective and widely accepted therapy for infants and children. currently, these high-risk patients achieve 85 to 90% one-year patient survival and an excellent quality of life. this paper reviews the special features of the pediatric recipient, the surgical innovations developed to be able to offer them a transplant (reduced size, live donor, split, and auxiliary partial transplantation), the most significant issues in anesthetic, immunosuppressive and postoperative care in children, as well as a global picture of the results. additionally, the experience of the hospital infantil de m¨¦xico federico g¨®mez is presented, as the largest and most successful series of pediatric liver transplantation in the country, where the first successful live donor liver transplantation and the first simultaneous liver-kidney transplantation in a child were performed.
