About

    Liver transplantation is a surgical procedure in which a diseased or damaged liver is replaced with a healthy liver from a donor. This procedure is typically used to treat end-stage liver disease and certain types of liver cancer. Liver transplantation can be a life-saving treatment for patients with severe liver failure, offering them a chance for a better quality of life and improved long-term survival. The success rate of liver transplantation has improved significantly over the years due to advances in surgical techniques, organ preservation, and the use of immunosuppressive medications to prevent organ rejection.
