Santo Domingo.- The Hospital General de la Plaza de la Salud (HGPS) marked a milestone in Dominican medicine with the First Pediatric Liver Transplant Course, a scientific conference that brought together renowned national and international specialists in a pioneering initiative to strengthen medical skills in one of the most complex areas of health.
The intensive course took place over five days and featured the prominent participation of experts from the Vall d’Hebron University Hospital in Barcelona, one of the leading institutions in pediatric liver transplants worldwide.
The academic program included keynote lectures, practical activities, and interactive sessions that addressed crucial topics such as pre-transplant evaluation, advanced surgical techniques like “split” liver transplantation, anesthetic management and postoperative intensive care, as well as the long-term follow-up of pediatric transplant patients.
Among the international experts who participated as speakers were doctors Nuria Montferrer, Cristina Dopazo, Concepción Gómez-Guevara, Mercedes Pérez, María Vásquez, and doctors José Andrés Molino, Juan Ortega and José del Carmen Caraballo, who shared clinical experiences and reference results of their work in specialized centers.
