Objective To decrease the operative difficulty, with the purpose of looking for an orthotopic liver autotransplantation model which not only materializes the liver transplantation but also possesses higher survival rate. Methods This model was established via portal vein perfusion in thirty rats, and from which the result of the liver after perfusion, the operative time and the survival rate were observed. Liver tissues were researched at 24 h after operation under the light microscope. Results This model was easy to be perfused, the operative time was (48±3.0) min and the survival rate was 96.7% (29/30). The structure of hepatic tissue was basically normal with a little hydropic degeneration under the light microscope. Few erythrocytes residual occurred in the interlobular arteries under the light microscope. Conclusion The orthotopic liver autotransplantation model via portal vein perfusion has an exclusively blockage pattern which possesses a higher survival rate. It prevents the injury of immunological rejection and purely reflects the hepatic ischemia-reperfusion. But it is better to be applied in the non-hepatic artery anastomosis or the research nothing to do with the hepatic artery because the hepatic artery does not have sufficient perfusion.
