Liver Transplants
The Hepatic Transplants Unit is the best option for the evaluation and treatment of liver ailments.
This program is made up of a team of trained medical and paramedical personnel with a broad range of experience in the procedure, which includes hepatic transplant surgeons, transplant anesthesiologists, transplant hepatologists, internal medicine specialists and specialized nurses.
A hepatic transplant consists of replacing a sick liver with a healthy one, which is usually obtained from a cadaver donor, in order to restore hepatic functions. To carry out this type of transplant, the recipient must be carefully evaluated by a team made up of multiple specialists who verify the need of the transplant, research the presence of hidden problems that may contraindicate the procedure and probe the residual function of the sick liver in order to discover the best moment in which to perform the procedure.
