Liver Transplant

Liver transplantation is a major surgical procedure used to replace a damaged or failing liver with a healthy donor liver. The operation can take up to 12 hours and involves removing the diseased liver and carefully connecting the donor liver’s blood vessels and bile ducts. Before surgery, patients undergo a detailed evaluation to assess their suitability for the procedure. After transplantation, regular check-ups, blood tests, and imaging are crucial to monitor liver function and detect any signs of rejection or complications. Maintaining communication with the transplant team is vital to ensure long-term success and optimal health.
