A Case Report of a Simultaneous Pediatric Orthotopic Liver Transplant and Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy in a 10‐Year‐Old Male With Cirrhosis and Obesity
Our experience demonstrates that liver transplant and vertical sleeve gastrectomy can be done concomitantly and safely in selected pediatric patients. Assessing the long-term outcomes of this and other similar patients will assist in the determination of optimal patient selection, target and actual BMI reduction, and metabolic goals in the pediatric liver transplant population.
