Deceased/Cadaver Donor liver transplant
DECEASED DONOR LIVER TRANSPLANTATION
Deceased Donor Liver Transplantation or Cadaver Donor Liver Transplantation is a surgery where a portion of the liver is removed from a deceased person and transplanted into the recipient. Deceased donor liver transplantation is performed on a patient who is in the end-stage of liver failure.
Cirrhosis leads to liver failure, where the liver malfunctions due to severe liver injury. Cirrhosis is a result of excessive alcohol consumption, autoimmune disease, acute liver failure caused by viruses such as hepatitis B and C, the buildup of fat in the liver, liver cancer or hereditary liver diseases.
For patients with severe liver disease, where conventional treatment doesn’t restore liver function, liver transplantation is the life-saving option. Once the physician determines whether the patient is eligible for liver transplantation via clinical, laboratory tests followed by consultation from other organ specialities, the patient’s name is registered on a state-wise organ donation list.
Procedure
In a deceased donor liver transplant, the donor could also be a victim of an accident, brain haemorrhage or head injury. Once declared legally brain dead by the doctor, the organ is harvested for donation after taking the family’s consent. The identity of a deceased donor and circumstances surrounding the person’s death are kept confidential. The transplant coordinator will always be available to discuss where the recipient is placed on the waiting list.
After surgery, the life span of the patient gradually increases. During cadaver donor liver transplantation, the surgery takes about 4 to 14 hours. The damaged liver is removed followed by surgical intervention and the donated liver is transplanted. At MGM Healthcare, the procedure is expertly performed by top deceased donor liver transplant doctors in India.
Post Operative Care
Recipients will be carefully monitored in the ICU to check their body function for organ rejection following the surgery. The patient will be shifted to the general ward depending upon their status. Performing liver tests identify the possibilities of rejection. Patients are prescribed immunosuppressants to prevent rejection. Physiotherapy and dietary counselling are also given. You will receive comprehensive care for your liver treatment at MGM Healthcare, one of the best deceased donor liver transplant centres in India.
