Abstract
Omental transposition provided adequate microcirculation for proliferation of ectopic hepatic cells after liver resection. Inert polymers enhanced the regeneration by promoting differentiation of new bile ducts. The ectopic hepatic implants showed preserved function on scintigraphy. This model provides insights into the capacity of liver parenchyma to regenerate in ectopic sites and the potential as therapeutic target for cell therapy in end-stage liver disease.
