How to arrange the operation time of liver transplantation

summary

For people with end-stage liver disease, liver transplantation is the best way for the treatment of liver cancer and liver failure, but in the operation arrangement, we should pay attention to the choice of time. This article will introduce the specific time arrangement of liver transplantation.

How to arrange the operation time of liver transplantation

First of all, the operation time of liver transplantation is far 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 successfully completed in only 4-6 hours.

Second: of course, the length of operation depends on many factors, including whether the patient has a history of upper abdominal surgery, the proficiency of the doctor, the method of operation, whether to carry out external veno venous bypass, etc. the higher the complexity of the operation, the longer the operation time. If the operation time is relatively short, the recovery of the patient's body after the operation will tend to be favorable.

Finally: the length of hospital stay after surgery often varies from person to person. Most patients can recover and be discharged smoothly within 3 weeks to about a month after surgery. However, a small number of patients will appropriately extend the length of hospital stay due to early postoperative complications or need to adjust immunosuppressive drugs. Once the situation is stable, they can be discharged.
