Living donor, deceased donor, ABO-incompatible and swap liver transplants — performed by a surgeon with experience of 1,000+ transplants.
A liver transplant is often the only cure for end-stage liver disease, certain liver cancers and sudden liver failure. The good news: liver transplantation in India is a mature, routinely performed surgery — and the single biggest factor in a safe outcome is the experience of the surgical team.
Dr. Sanjay Kumar Yadav performs the full range of liver transplants. Below is a simple guide to each type, so you can understand what may apply to your family. The right choice is always made after a proper evaluation.
Part of a healthy liver from a near-relative donor. The liver regenerates in both donor and recipient. The most common transplant in India.
Read about LDLTA whole liver from a brain-death (cadaveric) donor, allocated through the state deceased-donor programme.
Read about DDLTA transplant made possible even when the donor's and recipient's blood groups do not match, using special preparation.
Read about ABOiWhen two families each have a willing but unmatched donor, a legally-approved paired exchange helps both.
Read about swapTwo questions matter most to every family: “What is the cost?” and “Who can be the donor?” We have dedicated, transparent pages that answer both — clearly and without jargon.
A liver transplant replaces a diseased, failing liver with a healthy whole liver or a portion of a liver from a donor. It is the definitive treatment for end-stage liver disease, certain liver cancers and acute liver failure when the liver can no longer recover on its own.
That depends on your condition, your blood group and donor availability. Living donor (LDLT) uses part of a healthy near-relative's liver; deceased donor (DDLT) uses a liver from a brain-death donor; ABO-incompatible and swap transplants solve blood-group mismatches. Dr. Yadav explains the right option for your case after evaluation.
Liver transplantation is a well-established, routinely performed surgery in India with good long-term outcomes when done by experienced teams. Outcomes depend on the patient's overall condition, timing and post-operative care. Dr. Yadav discusses realistic, individualised expectations — without making guaranteed-outcome claims.
