A living donor liver transplant is a surgical procedure where a portion of a healthy person's liver is transplanted into someone with liver failure. At Istinye University Hospital Liv Hospital Bahçeşehir in Istanbul, Turkey, this life-saving procedure is available for around $65,000 USD. The main benefit is the high expertise of Prof. Dr. Ayhan Dinçkan, who has performed over 1000 liver transplants.

Liver transplantation treats end-stage liver disease. This includes conditions like cirrhosis, liver cancer, and acute liver failure. A living donor transplant uses a portion of a healthy liver. This liver segment grows to full size in both the donor and recipient.

About the Procedure

The transplant uses an open surgery approach. Hospital stays are typically 15 nights for the recipient and 7 nights for the donor. Before the surgery, blood group compatibility is checked. A legal document confirming the relationship between donor and recipient is also required. This relationship can be up to the fourth degree.
