Q: What Are the Types of Liver Transplants?
A: Orthotopic Liver Transplantation is when the diseased liver is replaced by a healthy liver from a donor who has recently died. This is the most common procedure for liver transplants.
Living Donor Transplantation is when a living person donates a part of his or her liver to someone who needs a new liver. This procedure has been increasingly successful, but it carries risks for the donor, and only a small number of living donor transplants are available for patients with liver cancer.
Q: What Happens when I Am on a Transplant Waiting List?
A: Currently there are more people who need a new liver than there are donors. Therefore, most people will be placed on a transplant waiting list. While you are on the waiting list, the transplant team will regularly monitor your liver’s health and provide other treatments if needed, such as surgery, embolization, or ablation.
Q: What Happens During Liver Transplant Surgery?
A: During transplant surgery, the transplant team replaces the diseased liver with a donated, healthy liver. The blood type and body size of the donor have to match the person receiving the transplant. Liver transplant surgery usually takes between 4 and 12 hours. Most patients stay in the hospital for up to 3 weeks after surgery.
Q: How does dedicated OT & ICU infrastructure help in liver transplant outcomes?
A: A dedicated OT and ICU for liver transplant ensures a sterile, specialized environment with advanced equipment and trained staff, reducing infection risk and improving post-operative monitoring. This setup enables quicker response to complications, better recovery, and higher success rates for transplant patients.
