NO MATTERWHETHER THE PATIENT IS WAITING FOR A LIVER OR HAS THE SURGERY ALREADY SCHEDULED, IT IS CRITICAL FOR THE PATIENT TOSTAY HEALTHY AND BE READY FOR THE TRANSPLANT SURGERY. ALL MEDICATIONS NEED TO BE TAKEN REGULARLY, A HEALTHY DIETNEEDS TO BE FOLLOWED, ALL MEDICAL CHECK-UPS AND APPOINTMENT SHOULD BE TAKEN, AND THE PATIENT SHOULD STAYREASONABLE ACTIVE.ONCE THE LIVER IS AVAILABLE OR THE SURGERY, THE PATIENT WILL BE ADMITTED TO THE HOSPITAL AND AN EXAMINATION TOASSESS THE OVERALL HEALTH OF THE PATIENT WILL BE DONE. WHEN CLEARED, THE PATIENT IS GIVEN GENERAL ANAESTHESIA ANDSEDATED BEFORE BEGINNING THE SURGERY. THEN THE SURGEON MAKES A LONG INCISION ACROSS THE ABDOMEN TO ACCESSTHE LIVER AND REMOVE THE DECEASED LIVER WHILE REPLACING IT WITH A DONOR LIVER IN THE BODY. ONCE THE DONOR LIVER ISPLACED PROPERLY, THE SURGEON THEN CONNECTS THE BLOOD VESSELS AND BILE DUCTS TO THE NEW LIVER. POST THIS, STAPLESAND STITCHES ARE USED TO CLOSE THE INCISION AND THEN THE PATIENT IS TRANSFERRED TO THE INTENSIVE CARE UNIT FORFOLLOW-UP AND RECOVERY. A LIVER TRANSPLANT SURGERY CAN TAKE UP TO 12 HOURS OR MORE DEPENDING ON THECONDITION OF THE PATIENT. IN CASE OF A LIVING DONOR OPERATION, THE SURGEON FIRST REMOVES THE LIVER FROM THEDONOR AND THEN PERFORMS THE SURGERY ON THE PATIENT SIMILAR TO THAT OF A DECEASED DONOR LIVER TRANSPLANTSURGERY.
