Liver Transplant Surgery: A brief overview

Transplantliver21 Sep, 2022Health

A liver transplant is a severe surgery under which the surgeon removes the damaged liver of the patient and replaces it with a healthy liver from another person, the donor. Donors for Liver Transplant Surgery in India can be living or recently deceased. Living donors donate just a part of their liver. In case the donor is deceased, the surgeon may use the whole liver in the transplant. If a patient has a living donor, the transplant team firstly evaluates whether the potential donor is actually a good match, based on their blood type.
