Liver Transplantation
Liver Transplantation
Liver transplant surgery is a life-saving procedure for patients suffering from severe or end-stage liver disease. When the liver loses its ability to function properly, a transplant becomes the most effective treatment option.
This procedure involves replacing a damaged liver with a healthy liver from a living donor or a deceased donor, restoring normal liver function and improving quality of life.
When is Liver Transplant Needed?
A liver transplant is recommended when other treatments are no longer effective.
Common Conditions:
- Liver cirrhosis
- Chronic liver failure
- Acute liver failure
- Liver cancer (in selected cases)
- Genetic liver diseases
Types of Liver Transplant
1. Living Donor Liver Transplant
A healthy person donates a portion of their liver, which regenerates in both donor and recipient.
2. Deceased Donor Liver Transplant
The liver is obtained from a brain-dead donor with family consent.
The Procedure
- Comprehensive evaluation of the patient
- Finding a suitable donor match
- Surgical removal of the damaged liver
- Implantation of the healthy liver
- Post-surgery monitoring and care

Recovery after liver transplant requires proper care and lifestyle management.
