What is a living-donor transplant?
Living-donor transplantation is surgery in which a portion of a donor’s healthy liver is removed and then transplanted into a patient with end-stage liver disease. During the transplant, either the right lobe or the left lobe of the donor’s liver is removed from the donor and implanted in the recipient.
Regeneration
This procedure is made possible by the liver’s unique ability to regenerate. After transplantation, the partial livers of both the donor and recipient will grow and remodel to form complete organs.
Evaluation
The donor is carefully evaluated by the transplant team to ensure the donation would harm neither donor nor recipient.

Frequently Asked
Questions (FAQs)
Q. How does DBS work?
The electrodes stimulate targeted brain areas, helping to restore normal electrical activity. This can result in significant improvements in motor skills and other symptoms by affecting the neural circuits responsible for movement and mood regulation.
Q. How effective is DBS?
Many patients experience substantial relief from symptoms, with studies indicating up to a 70% improvement in motor symptoms. However, individual responses can differ, and some may see only moderate benefits.
Q. How long does the device last?
The battery life of the pulse generator usually lasts between 18 to 20 years for rechargeable devices and 5 to 7 years for non-rechargeable devices. Regular follow-up appointments are necessary to check battery status and adjust settings as needed.
Q. Will I still need medication after DBS?
Most patients are able to lower their medication dosage after beginning DBS, although some may still need medications to effectively manage their symptoms.
Q. Can DBS be reversed?
Yes, the stimulation can be turned off or the device can be removed if necessary. However, some effects may persist even after the stimulation is discontinued.
Q. What is the recovery process like?
The recovery process can vary for each individual, but it generally involves a hospital stay of one to two days. After a few weeks, patients will have a follow-up appointment for device programming. Most people experience a gradual return to their normal activities, although some may need physical therapy to aid in their recovery.
