A liver transplant is a life-saving procedure for patients with severe liver disease or liver failure. At Narayana Health, our expert team, led by Dr. Sanjay Kumar Yadav, specializes in both adult and pediatric liver transplants. We offer advanced surgical techniques and comprehensive care to ensure the best possible outcomes.
A liver transplant involves replacing a diseased liver with a healthy liver from a donor. It is often necessary for conditions such as:
A portion of a healthy liver from a living donor is transplanted into the recipient. The liver regenerates to its normal size in both the donor and the recipient.
A whole liver from a deceased donor is transplanted into the recipient. This is often necessary when a living donor is not available.
Our multidisciplinary team conducts a thorough evaluation to determine if a liver transplant is the best option. This includes medical history, physical examination, imaging studies, and blood tests.
Eligible patients are placed on the transplant waiting list, where they are prioritized based on the severity of their condition and other factors.
The transplant surgery is performed by our highly skilled surgical team. It involves removing the diseased liver and replacing it with the donor liver. The procedure typically lasts 6-12 hours.

Regular follow-up appointments are essential to monitor liver function, detect any complications early, and adjust treatment plans as needed.
We emphasize the importance of a healthy lifestyle post-transplant, including:
