Ken Washburn, MD, abdominal transplant surgeon at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, explains that while it’s normal to be fearful of having a liver transplant, a patient needs to understand that liver transplantation is very safe and has excellent survival rates, with the majority of patients seeing rapid improvement following surgery. He describes the typical surgery and recovery, noting that many transplant recipients go on to enjoy active lives with no one else even aware of their liver transplantation.
