What is a Living Donor Liver Transplant?

A Living Donor Liver Transplant (LDLT) is a revolutionary procedure where a portion of a healthy person’s liver is transplanted into a patient with end-stage liver disease. At Liver Surgeons, we specialize in family donor liver transplants, where a relative’s liver segment (usually 20-25%) regenerates in both donor and recipient within weeks. This approach eliminates long organ waitlist times, offering a faster, life-saving solution.
