The liver is one of the most complex organs playing an important role in the quality of life. A liver transplant is a surgical procedure to remove a diseased or damaged liver and replace it with a healthy one. Transplantation is recommended when the liver is completely damaged and cannot function anymore. The stage where the liver stops working efficiently is called acute liver failure or end-stage liver disease. Liver damage can result from multiple reasons. Some include chronic illness, infection, or excessive alcohol consumption. Due to inflammation, liver tissue damage increases and liver failure can happen suddenly. Consult our Best Hospital for Liver Transplant in Bangalore for treatment and care for liver issues.

In split donation, the liver is collected from a recently deceased person. This is only possible when the recipients are an adult and a child. In such cases, the donated liver is split into two parts - the left and right lobes. The adult is given a larger right portion of the liver and the child is given a smaller left portion of the liver.
Deceased donor transplant refers to the type where the liver is removed from a recently died patient. Here, the surgeon removes the liver from the patient and replaces it with the donors. The transplant surgery may take about 6 - 12 hours depending on each patient’s case.
A living donor transplant is when the donor (who is mostly a family member/relative) donates part of his/her liver to the patient. Here, the surgeon first operates on the donor and extracts part of a healthy donor's liver. Then, the liver transplant surgery on the patient begins where the damaged liver is removed and replaced with the part of the liver…
