Here are the most reputed hospitals in India for Liver Transplant. These hospitals are known for advanced infrastructure, international accreditations, and high success rates.
A liver transplant is a major surgery in which a diseased or failing liver is replaced with a healthy liver — or a portion of one — from either a deceased donor or a living donor. It is considered when advanced liver disease, certain liver cancers, or sudden liver failure can no longer be managed by any other treatment. In India, living-donor liver transplant is the most commonly performed type, where a close family member donates a portion of their liver; both the donated segment and the donor's remaining liver regenerate to near-normal size within weeks to months. The surgery involves carefully connecting the new liver's blood vessels and bile duct to the recipient's anatomy, and typically requires a stay of three to four weeks in India including pre-operative workup, hospital admission, and post-discharge recovery near the transplant centre. Lifelong immunosuppressive medication is required after transplant to prevent rejection.
A portion of a healthy living relative's liver is surgically removed and transplanted into the recipient; both the donor and recipient livers regenerate to near-normal size within weeks to months.
