New York Health Department spokeswoman Kristine Smith said 41 living-donor adult-to-adult liver transplants performed at Mount Sinai Hospital are being reviewed as part of the state's probe into the January death of a liver donor at the New York City center.

State health officials in a report last month cited grievous errors in the post surgical care of Michael Hurewitz, 57, who donated 60 percent of his liver to his brother (see earlier Transplant Week story).

The living-donor adult-to-adult liver transplant program at Mount Sinai remains suspended by the state, and Smith said a working group would meet in about a month to explore issues involving the surgery. The makeup of the working group has not been announced.
