Pediatric Liver Transplant

Pediatric liver transplant is a medical procedure where a damaged or diseased liver in a child is replaced with a healthy liver from a deceased or living donor. This surgery is done to treat severe liver conditions such as cirrhosis or metabolic disorders, which can lead to liver failure. The process involves careful evaluation to ensure the child is a suitable candidate and may require ongoing medical care post-transplant to manage health and prevent rejection of the new liver. Successful transplantation can greatly improve a child's quality of life and long-term health.
