Types of Liver Transplants

Due to the severe shortage of deceased donors, Living Donor Liver Transplants are the most viable and successful option for international patients in India.

  • Living Donor Liver Transplant (LDLT): A healthy blood relative donates a portion of their liver (usually the right lobe for an adult recipient).
  • Pediatric Liver Transplant: A parent or relative donates a smaller portion (usually the left lateral segment) to a child or infant.
  • ABO Incompatible Transplant: Advanced medical protocols allowing a transplant even if the donor and recipient have mismatched blood types.
  • Swap Liver Transplant: Paired exchange between two incompatible donor-recipient families to ensure perfectly matched organs.
  • Advanced Surgical Technology

    3D Liver Volumetry

    Pre-surgical 3D mapping of the donor's liver ensures exactly the right volume is removed, prioritizing donor safety above all else.

    CUSA Technology

    Cavitron Ultrasonic Surgical Aspirator allows surgeons to cut liver tissue while preserving blood vessels, ensuring a nearly bloodless surgery.

    Intraoperative Ultrasound

    Real-time imaging during surgery ensures perfect reconnection of the bile ducts and hepatic arteries, minimizing complications.

    Liver Regeneration & Recovery

    The human liver is the only internal organ capable of natural regeneration. This makes living donation incredibly safe.

    • For the Donor: The remaining liver regenerates to nearly 100% of its original size and function within 8 to 12 weeks post-surgery.
    • For the Recipient: The transplanted partial liver also grows rapidly to meet the body's metabolic demands. Lifelong immunosuppressants will be required to prevent rejection.
    • Isolation & Diet: Strict infection control and a tailored, high-protein diet are crucial in the first 3 months to support rapid tissue regeneration.

    Share Liver Function Tests (LFT), Triphasic CT scans, and donor details for a free clinical review by our Hepatology board.

    2
    Arrival & Workup

    Travel to India. Both patient and donor undergo 5-7 days of extensive physical, cardiac, and radiological matching tests.

    3
    Legal Clearance

    Submit relationship proofs (DNA, Embassy NOC) to the Government Transplant Committee for authorization.

    4
    Surgery & Recovery

    The dual surgeries take place. Donors are discharged in ~7 days, while recipients stay in the hospital for 14-21 days.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Liver transplantation involves strict legal guidelines and complex medical science. Here is what you need to know.

    Ask a Specific Question

    By Indian Law, an international patient must bring a close blood relative (mother, father, sibling, child, or spouse) from their home country. The donor must be between 18 and 55 years old, have a compatible blood group, and be in excellent physical and mental health.

    Yes! The liver is highly unique. A healthy donor can safely give up to 60-65% of their liver. Within just 8 to 12 weeks after the surgery, the remaining portion will regenerate to almost its original size and full functional capacity.

    You should plan for a total stay of roughly 2.5 to 3 months. This covers pre-op tests, legal committee clearance, the hospital stay (around 3 weeks for the recipient), and crucially, post-op outpatient monitoring to ensure the body does not reject the new liver before flying home.

    In leading Indian transplant centers, the immediate success rate for Living Donor Liver Transplants is exceptionally high, typically exceeding 90-95%. Long-term survival depends heavily on strict adherence to immunosuppressant medications and a healthy lifestyle.
