Living liver donation

Living liver donation is a medical procedure where a healthy person voluntarily donates a part of their liver to someone in need of a transplant. The liver is unique because it can regenerate, so both the donor's and recipient's liver can grow back to normal size. The donor's surgery involves removing a portion of their liver, often from the right or left lobe, with careful medical planning. The recipient's body then accepts and heals the transplanted liver segment. This process offers a life-saving option for patients awaiting liver transplants and allows the donor to recover fully over time.
