Description
This program highlights the advances in liver transplantation surgery over the years. The hepatitis C epidemic has fueled an international need for liver transplantation, and innovations in surgical treatments and anti-rejection therapies are helping ever-increasing numbers of people to live healthy lives with new livers. The organ's unique ability to regenerate has led to one of the most exciting operations: the living donor liver transplant. Through patients' stories and interviews with experts, the program shows how liver transplantation can save lives and bring health and healing to families around the world.
