liver transplant
Hepatic graft surgery
A liver transplant is a surgical procedure replacing a diseased or failing liver with a healthy one from a donor.
The liver can come from a deceased donor or, because the organ regenerates, a portion from a living donor: She's on the waiting list for a liver transplant.
