A liver transplant is a surgical procedure done to replace the diseased liver with a healthy one. During this process, either a part of a liver or whole liver is transplanted. The liver or a part of it may come from a brain-dead organ donor or a healthy living donor.

The liver is the only organ of the human body that can regenerate. The liver of the donor will soon grow back to normal size post-surgery. The part of the liver which is received as a new liver will also grow to normal size within few weeks.
