About this Procedure
A liver transplant is a major operation in which a diseased liver is removed and replaced with a healthy liver from a donor. It is a life-saving treatment for some people with cirrhosis and end-stage liver disease. A liver can come from a deceased donor, or part of a liver can be given by a living donor, because the liver can regrow.
People who may need a liver transplant include those whose liver is failing because of long-term liver disease, when other treatments can no longer control the condition. There are three main stages: an assessment to check whether a transplant is suitable, finding a suitable donor liver, and the transplant operation. In India, living donation is regulated by law, and international patients usually need a suitable related living donor and approval from the hospital's authorisation committee before surgery.
The transplant is done under general anaesthetic. According to NHS Blood and Transplant, the operation often takes between 5 and 8 hours, depending on complexity. The first few days are spent in intensive care, and people can expect to be in hospital for 7 to 14 days. Lifelong anti-rejection medicines and regular transplant clinic visits follow.
