Liver Transplant

Liver transplant is reserved as treatment option for patients with serious complications due to end-stage chronic liver disease. In rare cases, previously normal liver may fail suddenly.

The number of people waiting for a liver transplant highly exceeds the number of available deceased-donor livers. The human liver has the capacity to regenerate and it returns to its normal size after removing a part of the organ surgically which makes living-donor liver transplant an alternative to waiting for a deceased-donor liver to become available.

At Ege University Liver Transplant Center, a multidisciplinary team of surgeons specializing in liver transplantation, hepatologists, transplant nurses, pathology experts, radiologists and other health professionals provide quality care focused on you before, during and after transplant. Decisions about your treatment is discussed among the team, appointments are scheduled in coordination, and your transplant care team works together to determine the best treatment for you.

Over 70% over all liver transplantations performed in Turkey are done by surgeons who trained at Ege University.
