    AbstractTransplantation of the liver has progressed in recent years and has become universally accepted for numerous indications in end-stage liver diseases, predominantly primary biliary cirrhosis, sclerosing cholangitis, biliary atresia and liver-related metabolic disorders. In fulminant and subfulminant hepatitis, prognosis has been improved considerably by liver transplantation. The debate still persists whether liver transplantation might be indicated in diseases recurring after transplantation, such as HBV cirrhosis. Alcoholic cirrhosis as an indication for transplantation remains still controversial. The risk of tumor recurrence after transplantation for small hepatocellular carcinoma in cirrhosis can be calculated; adjuvant chemotherapy might increase prognosis. Transplantation for other malignant liver tumors seems to be obsolete.
