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.

Key Points:

• Hospital stay of 1–2 weeks
