deceased donor liver transplantation

Deceased donor liver transplantation is a surgical procedure where a healthy liver from a deceased person is transplanted into someone whose liver is failing. This process helps restore liver function and improve quality of life. The donor's liver is carefully matched to the recipient based on size and other factors. After removal, the healthy liver is implanted into the recipient, connecting blood vessels and bile ducts. This procedure is life-saving for patients with severe liver disease or failure, and the availability depends on organ donation and compatibility.
