HPB surgery & Liver Transplant

HPB surgery & Liver Transplant

In liver transplant surgery is performed in the case of liver failure where the patient’s old liver is completely removed, and a new one is put in the same place, which is taken from a liver donor, after joining the blood vessels and the bile duct.

Inflammation of the liver is the starting stage of liver disease. If this inflammation is not treated, then it can lead to scarring (fibrosis).
