Organ transplantation is a life-saving procedure that has revolutionized modern medicine, offering hope to countless individuals suffering from end-stage organ failure. Liver transplant, in particular, has proven to be an effective treatment for end-stage liver disease, acute liver failure, and certain liver cancers.

Given this ground reality, living liver donation has emerged as a viable option to bridge this gap and provide timely transplants for those in dire need.
