Liver Transplant
Istanbul
Liver Transplant in Istanbul is available at 4 hospitals in the Voumed network.
A liver transplant replaces a failing liver, in whole or in part, with a healthy liver from a living or a deceased donor, and it is the definitive treatment when chronic liver failure can no longer be controlled by medicines. Because the liver is the only organ that regenerates, a healthy adult can donate part of their liver and both the donated piece and the remaining liver grow back to near full size within weeks. Patients travel abroad for liver transplant to reach high-volume transplant centres, experienced surgical and intensive-care teams and coordinated assessment of both the recipient and a potential living donor under one roof. It is major surgery that needs careful preparation and a long, supervised recovery, but for the right patient it restores a full and active life.
