A step-by-step look at what happens during this procedure.
A suitable donor liver is identified either from a deceased donor through organ allocation networks or from a living donor who undergoes comprehensive medical evaluation to ensure compatibility and safety.
The recipient undergoes pre-operative assessment including blood tests, imaging studies, and cardiopulmonary evaluation. General anaesthesia is administered and the patient is positioned for the surgical procedure.
The diseased liver is carefully removed through a bilateral subcostal incision with midline extension. Blood vessels and bile ducts are identified, clamped, and divided while maintaining hemostasis throughout the procedure.
The donor liver is placed in the recipient's abdomen and vascular connections are established. The hepatic artery, portal vein, and hepatic veins are anastomosed to restore blood flow to the new liver.
The bile duct is reconstructed to allow proper bile drainage, either through direct duct-to-duct anastomosis or Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy. The abdomen is closed after ensuring proper hemostasis and organ perfusion.
A structured, patient-first approach from first consultation to full recovery.

What to expect at each stage of your recovery journey.
Patient stays in ICU for close monitoring of vital signs, liver function, and immunosuppression levels. Drainage tubes are gradually removed, and the patient begins mobilization with assistance from physiotherapy team.
Patient transitions to outpatient care with frequent follow-up visits for blood tests and liver function monitoring. Immunosuppressive medications are adjusted based on drug levels and signs of rejection. Gradual increase in physical activity under medical guidance.
Most patients return to normal daily activities with continued immunosuppression therapy. Regular monitoring continues for rejection, infection, and medication side effects. Lifestyle modifications including diet, exercise, and medication compliance are emphasized for optimal graft survival.
The transplanted liver begins functioning immediately, clearing toxins from the blood, producing essential proteins, and restoring normal metabolism within days to weeks after surgery.
Patients experience significant improvement in symptoms such as fatigue, jaundice, ascites, and encephalopathy, enabling them to return to work and normal daily activities within months.
Liver transplantation offers excellent long-term survival rates with 85-90% of patients surviving five years post-transplant and many living for decades with proper care and medication adherence.
Transplantation eliminates complications of end-stage liver disease including portal hypertension, variceal bleeding, hepatorenal syndrome, and hepatic encephalopathy, dramatically improving overall health status.
