Liver transplantation procedure

Generally, the liver transplantation process consists of several stages: disinfection and anesthesia, procurement and preparation of the donor liver, removal of the diseased liver, and implantation of the donor liver. The specific steps are as follows:

1. Disinfect the skin on the patient's chest area and administer general anesthesia.

2. Retrieve a complete and healthy liver from the donor. Trim and ligate the donor liver’s inferior vena cava, portal vein, common bile duct, and hepatic artery.

3. Use surgical instruments to dissect the hepatic hilum, mobilize the left and right lobes of the liver, and remove the patient’s diseased liver tissue.

4. Use a scalpel to excise the diaphragmatic tissue.

5. Precisely match and connect the blood vessels of the donor liver with those of the recipient, ensuring tight anastomoses without bleeding.

In summary, liver transplantation is a high-risk procedure. It is recommended to undergo the surgery at a正规 hospital under the guidance of qualified medical professionals. After surgery, patients should pay attention to their diet, avoid consuming irritating foods, engage in moderate exercise to strengthen their constitution, and prevent adverse reactions.
