Pediatric Liver Transplantation

Pediatric liver transplantation is a surgical procedure to replace a child's diseased liver with a healthy liver from a donor. This procedure is typically necessary when the child's liver fails due to conditions like biliary atresia or genetic disorders. The transplant helps restore liver function, which is crucial for digestion, detoxification, and overall health. Children receive care from a specialized medical team during the process, which includes evaluation, surgery, and post-operative recovery. Although it involves risks, successful transplants can significantly improve the child's quality of life and life expectancy.
