living donor liver transplantation

Living donor liver transplantation is a surgical procedure where a healthy person donates a portion of their liver to someone with severe liver disease. The liver can regenerate, allowing both the donor's and recipient's livers to recover fully. This option can reduce waiting times for a liver transplant from deceased donors and can lead to better outcomes. The process involves careful medical evaluation, surgery, and close follow-up care to ensure the health and safety of both the donor and recipient. It emphasizes the importance of organ donation and the potential for saving lives through altruism.
