In living donor transplantation, a portion of a healthy, willing donor's liver - often a close relative - is transplanted, avoiding the wait for a deceased donor organ. In deceased donor transplantation, a liver becomes available through recognised organ allocation networks based on medical urgency and compatibility. Our team will help you understand which option may be most appropriate for your situation.

Living liver donation involves a thorough, independent medical and psychological evaluation specifically designed to protect the donor's safety. The liver has a unique capacity to regenerate, and both the donor's remaining liver and the transplanted portion typically regrow to near-normal size over time. Every donor evaluation places donor safety as the highest priority.

Yes, our transplant surgeon has dedicated paediatric liver transplant training and experience managing complex paediatric cases, including conditions such as biliary atresia.

The pre-transplant evaluation process typically takes place over several visits across a few weeks, involving blood tests, imaging, and fitness assessments for the recipient, and additional evaluation for any potential living donor, to ensure a safe and well-informed decision.
