UNASSIGNED: Background @entity4281 ( @entity4281 ) is a @entity102 caused by ingestion of the eggs of the parasitic cestode @entity8434 ( @entity8434 ). In severe cases liver transplantation (LT) may represent the only possibility of survival and cure. METHODS: @entity1 undergoing LT associated with hepatic @entity4281 at our institution between April 2011 and October 2014 were investigated retrospectively. The clinical findings of the 27 @entity1 who participated in the study were noted. The Kaplan-Meier and Chi-Square tests were used to investigate the effect of these characteristics on survival and mortality. RESULTS: Live donor LT was performed on 20 @entity1 (74.1%) and deceased LT on 7(25.9%). Hilar invasion was the most common indication (14 @entity1 , 51.9%) for transplantation. The @entity1 were followed up for 16.1  11.4 months. The overall survival rate was 77.8%. Primary non-function developed only in 2 @entity1 in the post-transplantation period. Six @entity1 died during monitoring, the most common cause of death being the @entity295 (3 @entity1 ). The relationship between the mortality rate of the @entity1 and the invasion of the bile duct and/or portal vein by @entity75 was found to be statistically significant (p=0.024 and p=0.043, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: According to the PNM Staging, when the @entity4281 exceeds the resectability limits, the only alternative for the treatment of the disease is liver transplantation. However, different from the liver transplantation due to @entity82 , it is extremely difficult to perform a transplantation in @entity4281 because of the invasive characteristics of it. In order to decrease the difficulty of the operation and the postoperative mortality, the intracystic abscess and @entity255 which occur due to @entity4281 must be treated via medical and percutaneous method before the transplantation.
