Is a liver transplant good enough after 10 years

Liver transplantation after 10 years only improves the patient’s long-term survival time, but it is not a complete cure. Liver transplantation is now more mature, with improving results and patients who recover well are able to live and work normally. Liver transplant patients with benign disease have a 5-year survival rate of up to 70% after surgery. With the continuous improvement of transplantation surgery technology, the improvement of preoperative and postoperative patient management, and the emergence of effective anti-rejection drugs or anti-hepatitis virus drugs, it can ensure that the survival of patients after liver transplantation can be further improved. Liver transplantation is one of the treatments for liver cancer and one of the radical cures, which is applicable to liver cancer patients with compensated liver function and inability to be surgically resected. Appropriate activities are beneficial to physical recovery after successful surgery, and patients can resume normal study and work. Warm reminder: 10 years after the operation, it is necessary to maintain the function of transplanted liver, prevent and control the recurrence of primary liver disease, prevent and control the new disease after the operation, and intervene in the preoperative coexisting disease, etc., but it does not mean that it is cured.
