Liver transplantation is the only treatment for chronic liver failure. It means replacing the sick liver with an intact liver. Cirrhosis patients constitute the most common liver transplant disease group in the world. This is followed by some congenital diseases and some liver tumors. The main purpose of liver transplantation is to bring the person to a normal, active, productive life beyond recovery. People can return to their families, jobs, schools, travel safely and take a vacation. Although the success rate is high, it is still a very difficult operation and takes 6-12 hours on average.
What is Organ Transplant?
Organ transplantation is the operation in which an organ is removed from the donor body and then placed in a recipient body to replace a damaged or missing organ. The organs or tissues to be transplanted can be taken from living bodies or cadavers. Transplantation medicine is one of the most challenging and complex areas of modern medicine. The organs that can be successfully transplanted today include the heart, kidneys, liver, lungs, pancreas, intestine, thymus and uterus. The key to organ transplant are rejection problems such as the body's immune response to the transplanted organ, resulting in possible transplant failure and the need to remove the organ immediately from the recipient.
