How It Works
The transplant journey begins with a comprehensive assessment where hepatology, transplant surgery, and anaesthesia experts review scans, blood tests, and overall fitness to determine candidacy and timing for surgery. Living donors undergo compatibility testing, imaging, and careful psychological assessment, together with thorough counselling to ensure informed consent and donor safety. For deceased donor transplantation, we follow legal allocation protocols and mobilise retrieval and recipient teams quickly to reduce organ ischaemia time.
During the operation, surgeons perform meticulous vascular and biliary reconstruction, using proven techniques intended to support early graft function and limit complications effectively. After surgery, patients are monitored in specialised transplant ICUs where immunosuppression is tailored, infection risk is managed, and nutrition is optimised to aid recovery. Our transplant coordinators at Manipal Hospitals Bangalore, the top liver transplantation centre in Bangalore, keep families informed and arrange rehabilitation and follow-up so that post-discharge care remains seamless, comprehensive, and reassuring.
