The Liver Transplant Surgery Unit at Egyptair Hospital specializes in liver transplantation, a complex surgical procedure that involves replacing a diseased liver with a healthy one. Here are some key points about the units liver transplant services:

1. Liver Transplantation Procedure: Liver transplantation is a surgical procedure where the entire diseased liver is removed and replaced with a healthy liver. This healthy liver can either be a complete liver from a deceased donor or a portion of a healthy liver from a living donor. In some cases, a piece of a healthy liver can grow into a normal-sized liver post-transplant.

2. Indications for Liver Transplantation: The most common reason for liver transplantation in adults is cirrhosis, which can result from various causes, including viral infections (hepatitis B and C), excessive alcohol consumption, autoimmune liver diseases, fatty liver disease, and hereditary liver conditions. Cirrhosis leads to the destruction of healthy liver cells and the formation of scar tissue.

3. High Success Rate: The Liver Transplant Surgery Unit at EgyptAir Hospital is equipped with advanced facilities and experienced medical professionals, contributing to a significantly high success rate of 91%. Since 2007, the unit has successfully performed 81 liver transplant surgeries.

Liver transplantation is a life-saving procedure for individuals with end-stage liver disease or severe liver conditions. The success of such surgeries is a testament to the hospitals commitment to providing specialized care to patients in need of this critical treatment.
