Liver transplantation is usually done when other medical treatment cannot keep a damaged liver functioning. Liver transplantation is surgery to remove a diseased liver and replace it with a healthy liver from an organ donor.
About 85 to 95 percent of people survive liver transplantation. Survival rates have improved over the past several years because of drugs like cyclosporine, tacrolimus, mycophenolate mofetil, everolimus and monoclonal antibodies that suppress the immune system and keep it from attacking and damaging the new liver.
