The liver is remarkable for its unique regenerative ability, capable of fully regrowing even after up to 70% of its mass has been removed. This rapid regrowth allows the liver to restore its full function within weeks, distinguishing it from other human organs. Since there is no viable medical or mechanical alternative to fully replicate liver function, severe and irreversible liver failure may necessitate a liver transplant as a life-saving intervention.
Liver transplantation/ Hepatic Transplant Surgery is a procedure that involves replacing the diseased liver with a healthy donor liver (commonly referred to as liver replacement surgery). This surgery has been performed for over 4 decades, providing thousands of people worldwide the opportunity to lead normal lives. Liver transplant surgery has proven beneficial in both adults and children.

Liver transplantation is often essential for treating chronic liver disease or acute liver failure. In adults, the primary cause of liver transplants is liver cirrhosis, a condition where healthy liver cells are replaced with scar tissue due to various liver injuries. Cirrhosis can result from viral infections like hepatitis B and C, alcohol consumption, autoimmune liver diseases, fat accumulation in the liver, and hereditary liver diseases.
In children, the most common reason for liver transplantation is biliary atresia, a condition characterised by damaged or missing bile ducts that block bile flow and lead to cirrhosis. Other conditions that may require liver transplantation include certain liver cancers, benign liver tumours, and hereditary diseases. Sudden or rapidly developing liver failure can occur in both children and adults, often due to viral infections or adverse reactions to medications, including painkiller overdoses or the use of certain herbal and traditional medicines.
