Stanford's Liver Transplant Program cares for people with advanced stage liver disease from all over the U.S., consistently achieving outstanding results as one of the nation's top programs. Our team has performed more than 1,400 adult liver transplants, exceeding national patient and liver survival rates at the one- and three-year marks after transplantation.
The LRD Liver service focuses on evaluating potential living liver donors through 3D imaging techniques to measure both total and segmental liver volumes, as well as to assess the hepatic vasculature. This imaging process provides an in-depth analysis of the liver's size, segmental anatomy, and blood supply, ensuring the adequacy and viability of the liver portion intended for donation.
By providing a clearer understanding of liver volume and vasculature we offer support to healthcare professionals in determining the suitability of a liver for transplantation, ultimately contributing to the success of living donor liver transplants and enhancing patient outcomes in liver disease management.
