Implication

Narrative review shows portosaphenous shunt improves renal function and reduces warm ischemia time, suggesting benefits for postoperative recovery in liver transplantation.

Key Points

The aim is to review the technical solutions and outcomes associated with temporary portocaval shunts in liver transplantation.
Narrative review of various portocaval shunt techniques and their effects during liver transplantation.
Discussion of intraoperative complications and solutions provided by portosaphenous shunts.
Assessment of evidence from meta-analyses and randomized studies regarding outcomes post liver transplantation.
Portal hypertension management improves renal function with the use of temporary portocaval shunts.
Warm ischemia time is reduced during liver transplantation, leading to enhanced postoperative recovery.
Significant hemodynamic stability is achieved, reducing intraoperative bleeding and blood transfusion requirements.
