Liver and Kidney Transplantation

About Liver and Kidney Transplantation

 Liver and kidney transplantation are life-saving treatment methods for patients with advanced organ failure. Through organ transplantation, a healthy organ is placed in the patient to replace a failing organ, aiming to improve the patient’s quality of life.

 

The transplantation process is not limited to the surgical procedure alone. Pre-transplant evaluation, donor selection, the surgical operation itself, and post-operative follow-up require a multidisciplinary approach.

 

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Birkan Birben actively participates in patient evaluation, surgical planning, and follow-up throughout the liver and kidney transplantation process, drawing on his clinical experience in the field of organ transplantation.

What is Liver and Kidney Transplantation?

 Liver and kidney transplantation is a treatment method applied to patients with severe organ failure. In this procedure, the patient’s non-functioning or severely damaged organ is replaced with a healthy organ from a donor.

 

Liver transplantation is typically performed due to cirrhosis, liver failure, or certain liver tumors, while kidney transplantation is applied in patients with advanced kidney failure.

 

Organ transplantation is an advanced treatment that requires experienced surgical teams and sophisticated medical infrastructure.
