A deceased donor liver transplant is the most common type of liver transplant procedure. The benefits of this procedure include better quality of life with a healthy liver, it is a choice of treatment when living donors are not available, and transplantation of the whole liver can be done.

Living donor transplants have excellent results as compared with deceased donor transplants. However, finding a living donor may be difficult. The donors go through an extensive evaluation to ensure they are a match with the organ recipient and to assess their physical and mental health.

Yes, in some cases, TACE can cause liver failure. This can be prevented by choosing the right candidate for the TACE procedure. Assessing the liver functions and current health status is vital before performing the TACE procedure.

The waiting period for liver transplantation can range from 30 days to more than five years. The wait time depends on several factors such as availability, donor match, overall health, and the severity of your condition. As you wait for a liver transplant, you will regularly meet with your transplant team to evaluate the progression of liver disease and provide resources to help you stay healthy.

Full recovery of a deceased liver donor transplant takes an average of 3 to 6 months depending on the age and the health condition. If a donor has undergone laparoscopic surgery, then the recovery time will be shorter, and the wounds will heal faster.

Yes! It will take a while to regain strength and endurance after the transplant, but eventually, the patient can resume normal daily activities. Walking and stair climbing are excellent exercises for maintaining muscle tone and strength. The patient should consider walking for about 5 to 10 minutes a day when he/she first arrives home following the surgery and then slowly increase the time each week. Strenuous exercises should be avoided by the patient.

The success rate of living donor liver transplants is around 90% which is slightly higher than the deceased donor transplants (85%). Success means the recipient's body accepts the liver, the liver is functional, or both the liver pieces regenerate to full size.
