Liver Transplantation

Liver transplantation is one of the most complex and successful of all organ transplants. This life-saving procedure involves the surgical replacement of a diseased or failing liver with a healthy donor liver. It is used as a last resort when other treatments or therapies can no longer control a person’s condition. Common indications for a liver transplant include cirrhosis, liver cancer, liver failure, and metabolic diseases. Transplantation is a major advancement for those with end-stage liver diseases, providing an opportunity for a longer and healthier life.
