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.

A person aspiring to become a liver transplant surgeon needs to qualify the medical entrance exam to get into a medical school. Once the candidate clears the entrance test, he/she completes a five-and-a-half-year programme (MBBS). Then, they go for a three-year MS course to specialise in surgery. They then complete a general residency like any other doctor. Finally, they have to complete an additional three years of a liver transplant surgery fellowship. After this, they become certified transplant surgeons.

• Primary Biliary Cirrhosis

Liver Transplant Surgeons would want to review all your medical records, X-rays, operative reports, liver biopsy slides, and a list of medications at your initial evaluation. To update previous tests, some of the following studies are generally performed during your evaluation:

• Doppler ultrasound: Used to determine if the blood vessels to and from the liver are open.
• Computed tomography (CT scan): Used to get pictures showing liver size and shape, any liver lesions, and blood supply. A chest CT scan might also be required.
• Echocardiogram and stress testing to evaluate your heart condition.
• Pulmonary function studies to assess the lungs' ability to exchange carbon dioxide and oxygen.
• Blood tests to find out blood type, biochemical status of blood, clotting ability, and to measure liver function.
• Serology screening

Your physician will tell you to visit a liver transplant surgeon if you experience any of the following signs and symptoms:

• Jaundice
• Ascites (fluid in the abdomen)
• Hepatic encephalopathy (confusion or even coma)
• Bleeding in the upper as well as lower gastrointestinal tract from varices
• Itching, pale stools, dark urine, chills, fluid buildup in the belly, and pain
• Enlarged liver
• Portal hypertension
• Buildup of toxins in the blood

If your primary care physician has recommended you to see a Liver Transplant Surgeon for any acute or chronic liver injuries or conditions you may have, it could be helpful to know what to expect during the initial consultation.

You and the surgeon would be discussing all conditions, the course of the treatment, and the rehabilitation process. The surgeon may want to perform an examination and tests to get a clearer picture of the issue.
