Liver Transplant
A liver transplant is a surgical procedure where a diseased or damaged liver is removed and replaced with a healthy donor organ. This procedure is typically reserved for individuals with severe liver diseases or complications such as end-stage cirrhosis, hepatitis, and biliary tract obstruction. A successful liver transplant can help extend life expectancy, improve quality of life, and is the only available treatment for certain cases of liver failure. The procedure is a complex but increasingly commonplace operation, with more than 8,000 liver transplants performed worldwide in 2019. Additionally, the outcome for liver transplant recipients is improving due to advances in medications, surgical techniques, and better organ preservation.
