Pediatric Liver Transplantation

It seems unfair for the children to have liver disease which need liver transplantation as a cure. Fortunately, most of the liver diseases which lead to liver cell failure get cured by liver transplantation. Biliary atresia patients who have crossed the optimal timing of surgery or who have undergone Kasai operation form the majority of patients who need liver transplantation. The other subset of patients are cured by liver transplantation are patients with liver tumors like hepatoblastoma, metabolic cycle defects, urea cycle defects and diseases like Langerhans cell histiocytosis. Our team provides cadaveric and living donor liver transplant with very good outcomes for both the donor and the recipient.
