 How does a liver transplant surgeon help ? 

Transplant surgeons can perform a successful liver transplant in both Children and adults. When the liver cannot function correctly, and the body is unable to replenish it, doctors may propose a liver transplant. The liver, by the way, is the only organ in the human body that can regenerate.

If the patient has total liver failure due to a liver tumor or long-standing liver diseases such as hepatitis, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, Cirrhosis, primary sclerosing cholangitis, or the presence of tumors such as hepatoblastoma in children and hepatocellular carcinoma in adults, a liver transplant treatment will be required.

Measuring the success rate of a liver transplant surgery -
