Life-saving surgery where a healthy living donor gives a portion of their liver to a patient with end-stage liver disease; both livers regenerate afterward.
Living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) is a surgical procedure where a healthy living donor donates a portion of their liver to a recipient with end-stage liver disease or acute liver failure. Both donor and recipient surgery occur simultaneously. The remaining donor liver regenerates within weeks.
