ABSTRACT

Objective To discuss the perioperative nursing norm for patients who are suffering from biliary complications occurred after liver transplantation and who will receive interventional management to treat the complications.Methods Interventional therapies were performed in 20 patients with biliary complications due to liver transplantation.The interventional procedures performed in 20 cases included percutaneous biliary drainage(n = 13), percutaneous biliary balloon dilatation(n = 5) and biliary stent implantation(n = 7).The clinical results were observed and analyzed.Results Biliary tract complications occurred after liver transplantation were seen frequently.Proper interventional management could markedly improve the successful rate of liver transplantation and increase the survival rate of the patients.In accordance with the individual condition, proper nursing measures should be taken promptly and effectively.Conclusion Conscientious and effective nursing can contribute to the early detection of biliary complications and, therefore, to improve the survival rate of both the transplanted liver and the patients.
