Who is a Liver Transplant Surgeon?

A liver transplant surgeon is a doctor who is trained in replacing a diseased liver with a healthy liver of another person. A whole liver might be transplanted, or only a part of it. In most of the cases the healthy liver comes from a donor who has just died. A healthy living person, sometimes, will donate part of their healthy liver. A living donor may be a family member. Or it may be someone who is not related to you but whose blood type is a good match. Liver transplant surgeons recommend as well as perform liver transplant surgery on patients who have severe complications due to end-stage chronic liver diseases. Liver transplant is also a suitable option in the cases of sudden liver failure.
