Liver Transplant Surgery

Liver transplant surgery is a medical procedure that replaces a diseased or failing liver with a healthy liver from a donor. The surgery is necessary when the liver is severely damaged, often due to diseases like cirrhosis or liver cancer. During the operation, the surgeon removes the unhealthy liver and connects the new liver to the blood vessels and bile ducts. After the surgery, the patient is closely monitored and must take medications to prevent the body from rejecting the new liver. This life-saving procedure can significantly improve quality of life and overall health.
