[Liver transplantation]

Abstract

The liver transplant procedure has advanced significantly since the 1960s. It is the only curative treatment for severe chronic liver disease including cirrhosis. In collaboration with the French Biomedicine Agency, a complex protocol is put in place by a multi-disciplinary team. The patient's commitment to the treatment project is essential.
