description | Background: Pediatric liver surgery is a complex and challenging procedure and can be associated with major complications, including mortality. Best practices are not established. The aims of this study were to evaluate surgeons’ individual and institutional practices in pediatric liver surgery and make recommendations applicable to the management of children who require liver surgery. Methods: A web-based survey was developed, focusing on the surgical management of children with liver conditions. It was distributed to 34 pediatric surgery faculty members of the Biliary Atresia and Related Disorders (BARD) consortium and 28 centers of the European Reference Network—Rare Liver. Using the Delphi method, a series of questions was then created to develop ideas about potential future developments in pediatric liver surgery. Results: The overall survey response rate was 70.6% (24/34), while the response rate for the Delphi questionnaire was 26.5% (9/34). In centers performing pediatric liver surgery, most pediatric subspecialties were present, although pediatric oncology was the least present (79.2%). Nearly all participants surveyed agreed that basic and advanced imaging modalities (including ERCP) should be available in those centers. Most pediatric liver surgeries were performed by pediatric surgeons (69.6%). A majority of participants agreed that centers treating pediatric liver tumors should include a pediatric transplant program (86%) able to perform technical variant grafts and living donor liver transplantation. Fifty-six percent of responders believe pediatric liver transplantation should be performed by specialized pediatric surgeons. Conclusion: Pediatric liver surgery should be performed by specialized pediatric surgeons and should be centralized in regional centers of excellence where all pediatric subspecialists are present. Pediatric hepatobiliary and transplant training needs to be better promoted amongst pediatric surgery fellows to increase this subspecialized workforce. |
