What is the success rate of liver transplantation

summary

Liver transplantation is simply to change the liver for the patient, which is very difficult and not 100% successful. Let's look at the success rate of liver transplantation.

What is the success rate of liver transplantation

First of all, liver transplantation technology has been very mature, and the success rate of operation can reach more than 90-95%. However, the factors affecting the success of liver transplantation are not only surgery, but also the state of patients before transplantation, preoperative preparation, postoperative rejection and infection.

Secondly, the biggest problem of liver transplantation for liver cancer is the size of liver cancer. Generally, the long-term effect of liver transplantation for liver cancer less than 5cm is better. If the condition of liver cancer is serious, the recurrence rate after transplantation is quite high.

Finally: before liver transplantation, it is necessary to comprehensively evaluate the operation risk and physical condition, especially living donor liver transplantation. Patients with older age, poor cardiopulmonary function, intrahepatic spread or extrahepatic metastasis of liver tumor should be treated with caution.

matters needing attention

The goal of liver transplantation is not only the success of the operation, but also to provide a new life for critically ill patients and enable them to live a long and healthy life. Due to the recurrence rate of liver transplantation, regular follow-up should be conducted after operation, and timely diagnosis and treatment should be conducted when there are abnormal conditions.
