What are the results (survival and recurrence) of liver resection? For HCC patients whose tumors are successfully resected, the five-year survival is about 10% to 60%, depending on the tumor size. This means that 10% to 60 % of patients who actually undergo liver resection for liver cancer are expected to live five years.
Most donors are in the hospital for 5-10 days and experience pain and discomfort for about 4-6 weeks after surgery, particularly during the first week. A living liver transplant donor needs time to rest and recover from surgery and it is recommended that 8-10 weeks be allowed for this before returning to work.ven though the list of people waiting for a lifesaving or transforming transplant continues to be long, the success rates for transplants continue to improve each year. If you are thinking about transplantation or are already on the organ/tissue transplant waiting list, you probably have lots of questions.
