Liver Transplant Surgery
What is a liver transplant?
A liver transplant is a surgery during which doctors remove your sick or injured liver and replace it with a healthy liver from a donor. Most often, the liver is from a deceased organ donor. Sometimes, a portion of the liver of a healthy living donor can be used for transplantation.
Who needs a liver transplant?
You cannot live without a liver. If your liver damaged to a point that it doesn’t work properly, in other words if you have liver failure, a liver transplant can help you to become healthy again and save your life.
