Case Description
Case Summary
- Liver transplantation involves the partial or complete replacement of a diseased liver with a healthy one, sourced from either a deceased (cadaveric) or living donor. Heterotopic transplantation leaves the native liver in place, while orthotropic transplantation replaces it entirely. Auxiliary transplants add a portion of healthy liver alongside a portion of the native liver, often in cases of acute liver failure. Domino liver transplants involve using a liver with a specific metabolic defect from one patient to treat another patient with a different type of liver disease. Swap transplants involve matching donor-recipient pairs from two families to overcome blood group incompatibility.
