Top 10 Liver Transplant Surgeons In India
Liver transplantation is recommended when the liver is not able to function adequately leading to Liver Failure. However, the liver is the only organ that can regrow after damage or surgical removal. Liver transplant surgery is a life-saving treatment/option for someone who has liver failure as a result of viral hepatitis, drug-induced injury, infection or cirrhosis. Liver transplant surgery can improve recipients’ health and quality of life, allowing them to carry out normal activities. During a living-donor liver transplant, doctors remove a piece of a healthy liver from a living donor to replace the damaged liver of the recipient. Liver surgery also entails replacing a diseased liver with a liver from a deceased donor.
