Liver
Transplant A liver transplant, also known as hepatic transplantation, is a surgical procedure that replaces a diseased liver with a healthy one from a donor. Liver transplant is an extremely complex, life-saving procedure that gives patients with end-stage liver failure a second chance at life. Factors such as infection, genetic disorders, cirrhosis, and cancer, can all lead to the need for a transplant. The procedure has the potential to restore full liver function and heal the symptoms of liver diseases. It is often the last resort for those who have not responded to other treatments. Following a successful transplant, patients can have a relatively normal life, including the ability to work and have a regular lifestyle.
