Résumé
In recent years a growing number of pediatric liver transplant recipients are reaching adulthood and are transferred to an adult team. Because pediatric to adult transition has become a common event with many particularities, specific clinical protocols are needed to guide professionals in this process. Transition must be seen as a complex process of high vulnerability for the patient. The incorrect assumption that the transition process is only a bureaucratic transfer of information leads to inappropriate transition procedures that result in young patients not ready to move to adult units with guaranteed success. To ensure this success, a correct coordination and transmission of the information, accompaniment by the health professional during the whole process, and the empowerment of the patient are required. To have a successful transition, a person within the pediatric team must be in charge of the process (named worker).
