How long does liver transplantation take

First of all, the operation time of liver transplantation is much longer than that of conventional surgery. With the rapid development of surgical technology, in many liver transplantation centers, a classic orthotopic liver transplantation can be completed in 4-6 hours.

Secondly, the length of the operation depends on many factors, including whether the patient has a history of upper abdominal surgery, the proficiency of the physician, the method of operation, whether extracorporeal veno venous bypass is performed, etc. The more complex the situation is, the longer the operation time will be.

Finally: the shorter the operation time, the better the postoperative recovery. The length of hospital stay varies from person to person. Most of the patients in the postoperative 3 weeks to a month or so in the time of physical condition can be restored, can be discharged smoothly.
