Liver transplant is a highly advanced surgical procedure that is performed to help patients whose liver has been completely or partially damaged due to an underlying disease, infection or injury sustained in an accident. The procedure involves the replacement of the dysfunctional liver with a healthy lobe taken from a suitable donor. The liver is the largest gland in our body and is responsible for carrying out various vital functions. The normal functioning of the liver is important for a long and healthy life. Liver transplant is usually the last resort of treatment when medicines and therapies fail to give the desired results.
Liver transplant is majorly classified into two types depending upon the type of donor. If the liver lobe is taken from a living donor, the transplant is said to be a living donor liver transplant, however, if the lobe is taken from a deceased person, the transplant is known as a cadaveric liver transplant.
Liver transplant is usually recommended to patients who are facing severe complications due to an end-stage liver ailment. Here are some major indications that may call for the need for a liver transplant:
Once you have found a suitable donor, you will be given a fixed date for the transplant. However, before initiating the procedure it is important to ensure that the patient is mentally and physically prepared for the procedure.
The procedure is performed under the influence of anaesthesia such that the patient does not feel any pain or discomfort. The doctor will clean the area and make a long incision across your abdomen to access your liver. The location and size of the incision vary from patient to patient depending upon the type of approach followed. The damaged liver is carefully removed and replaced with the healthy lobe taken from the donor. The blood vessels and bile ducts are connected to the new liver. The whole procedure may last for as long as 12 hours.
After the procedure, the patient is kept under keen observation in the ICU for at least 24 hours. The patient is required to stay in the hospital for a week or two depending upon the overall progress. Before discharge, the patient is given a set of guidelines that are to be followed religiously:
The various benefits of liver transplant are as follows:
Just like any other medical procedure, there are certain risks associated with liver transplant as well. These include:
