    Liver transplantation is a mature, life-saving procedure for end-stage organ failure. Increased donor availability and improved immune modulation promise wider accessibility and normal life expectancy for recipients.

    Area of Science:

    • Medicine
    • Surgical Innovation

    Background:

    • Liver transplantation has advanced significantly, becoming a viable treatment for end-stage liver disease.
    • Despite advancements, a substantial waiting list persists, highlighting donor organ scarcity as a primary limitation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To provide an overview of the current state and future prospects of liver transplantation.
    • To discuss the challenges and requirements for the expansion of liver transplant centers.

    Main Methods:

    • The abstract synthesizes current trends and expert perspectives in liver transplantation.
    • It reviews the growing demand, donor limitations, and evolving healthcare coverage.

    Main Results:

    • Liver transplantation is increasingly common, with centers performing approximately one transplant daily.
