Machine perfusion ameliorates non-anastomotic strictures after liver transplantation: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials

Key Points

• Reduces the incidence of non-anastomotic strictures after liver transplantation, enhancing recovery.
• The analysis revealed a significant decrease in biliary complications linked to the use of machine perfusion technology.
• Meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials highlighted the effectiveness of machine perfusion in liver transplantation outcomes.
• Findings support a potential shift in clinical practice toward machine perfusion techniques for better post-transplant results.
