| Core Tip |
Perioperative management of super-obese patients eligible for LT remains an area with limited evidence and largely depends on the organizational policies of each transplant center. Each case of super-obese patients with severe liver disease undergoing LT is unique and deserves literature reporting to enhance the collective knowledge. Bariatric surgery may be considered before or after LT to improve outcomes in selected cases. This manuscript reports a series of dilemmas arising from the case of a super obese patient undergoing urgent LT. |
