Liver transplantation is often the only option for patients with acute or chronic liver failure.Reliable information about the process is often difficult to access. This blog is my humble contribution towards filling this void.

Can you believe that this liver has been compeletely divided into two with its blood supply intact?
Believe it or not,this living donor liver has been completely surgically split into two keeping all blood supply to both halves intact.
One part will be removed and put into the recipient.
If done well, living donation is indeed quite safe as can be seen by beautiful appearance of both halves.
