Liver Transplantation Surgery
Best Liver Transplant Hospital in Bangalore
The liver is one of the most complex organs playing an important role in the quality of life. A liver transplant is a surgical procedure to remove a diseased or damaged liver and replace it with a healthy one. Transplantation is recommended when the liver is completely damaged and cannot function anymore. The stage where the liver stops working efficiently is called acute liver failure or end-stage liver disease. Liver damage can result from multiple reasons. Some include chronic illness, infection, or excessive alcohol consumption. Due to inflammation, liver tissue damage increases and liver failure can happen suddenly.
OUR STORY
Know About Us
Why Manipal Hospitals?
Because a Transplant Is Never Just One Day
Organ failure rarely announces itself all at once. It's a gradual conversation between symptoms, tests, and decisions. Choosing the right transplant partner means choosing a team that's present for all of it:
The Before — Comprehensive evaluation, organ-matching, donor workup, and honest counselling on every option available, medical and surgical.
The During — Advanced surgical technique, robotic and minimally invasive options where applicable, and critical care protocols built around patient and donor safety.
The After — Structured recovery plans, immunosuppression management, and rehabilitation support for the recipient.
And Ever After — Lifelong follow-up, nutrition and lifestyle guidance, and continued monitoring for both recipient and living donor — because two lives deserve equal, ongoing care.
Treatment & Procedures
Transplant and post-op care
If a suitable donor liver has been found, surgeons then work to transplant the donor liver into the patient. The patient will then be placed on medication for pain management, anti-infection and immune suppression. The immunosuppressants are given to ensure that the body does not begin to recognize and attack the new donated liver as an intruder. In…
Living Donor Liver Transplant
In this procedure, a part of a healthy donor's liver is extracted and implanted into the patient that needs a liver. These procedures are most common among family members, since they have the highest chance to match with each other. The donor will spend around a week in the hospital with roughly 8 weeks of recovery time before they are able to function…
Living Donor Liver Transplant
A living donor transplant is when the donor (who is mostly a family member/relative) donates part of his/her liver to the patient. Here, the surgeon first operates on the donor and extracts part of a healthy donor's liver. Then, the liver transplant surgery on the patient begins where the damaged liver is removed and replaced with the part of the liver donated by the donor. The donor will spend around a week in the hospital with roughly 8 weeks of recovery time before they can function normally.
Soon after the transplant, the liver sections of both the donor and recipient regenerate to form a complete liver. Remarkably, the recipient's liver can regenerate up to 85% of its mass within just one-week post-transplant.
Deceased Donor Liver Transplant
Deceased donor transplant refers to the type where the liver is removed from a recently died patient. At the best liver transplant hospital in Bangalore, the surgeons remove the liver from the patient and replace it with the donors. The transplant surgery may take about 6 - 12 hours depending on each patient’s case.
In the case of adult receivers, the entire liver is replaced. However, in some cases, the surgeon might even split the liver into two parts. The bigger part can be given to an adult and the smaller part to a child. The liver grows back to its original size after surgery, thereby giving a new life to the patient.
At Manipal Hospitals Hebbal Road, a multidisciplinary board, consisting of gastroenterologists, paediatrics, hepatologists, and liver surgeons, discusses every case history of patients before prescribing the best possible treatment.
Split Donation Liver Transplant
In split donation, the liver is collected from a recently deceased person. This is only possible when the recipients are an adult and a child. In such cases, the donated liver is split into two parts - the left and right lobes. The adult is given a larger right portion of the liver and the child is given a smaller left portion of the liver.
The donated livers grow back to their original size within weeks through the regeneration process. Split donation helps two persons (an adult and a child) simultaneously.
When Do You Need A Liver Transplantation?
The liver is the largest internal organ performing several critical functions, and a liver transplant is usually referred to when it stops performing those functions because of chronic liver disease or sudden failure of a previously normal liver.
Some of the conditions which may warrant a liver transplant are:
- Acute liver failure
- Biliary atresia
- Cirrhosis
- Hepatitis (viral, autoimmune, and idiopathic)
- Liver tumours
- Metabolic diseases
- Portal hypertension
- Primary biliary cirrhosis
- Primary sclerosing cholangitis
At Manipal Hospitals, facilities are there to cater to the most critical liver-related concerns.

A liver transplant can have excellent outcomes. Recipients have been known to live a normal life over 30 years after the operation. If you are looking for liver transplantation surgery in Bangalore, visit Manipal Hospitals.
Your specialist evaluates organ function through advanced diagnostics, clinical assessments, and medical history to determine if transplantation is the necessary path when medical management can no longer maintain safe organ function.
In a living donor liver transplant, a portion of the liver is removed from a healthy donor and implanted into a recipient.
Manipal’s Beyond Transplant program is about supporting both the patient and the donor throughout the entire healthcare journey—long before and long after the surgery. Every enquiry is handled with speed, clarity, empathy, and precise clinical guidance to connect families with the appropriate transplant specialists.
In a deceased donor liver transplant, the liver is removed from a deceased person and implanted into a recipient.
Recovery begins with a structured hospital stay followed by lifelong follow-up care, specialized immunosuppressive medications to prevent organ rejection, and regular monitoring to ensure both the recipient and the new organ thrive.
This question has no definitive answer. Individuals may only have to wait a few days or weeks before obtaining a donor organ.
Each transplant unit has its own set of rules for waiting on the transplant list and being notified when a donor organ becomes available. You are likely to be alerted via call/text/email when an organ becomes available.
A healthy liver extracted from a deceased donor is split into right and left portions. These two halves are implanted into two recipients simultaneously.
