What Does OLT Stand For?

OLT stands for Orthotopic Liver Transplantation

OLT, or Orthotopic Liver Transplantation, is a surgical procedure in which a patient’s diseased liver is removed and replaced with a healthy liver from a donor. This approach is often utilized in cases of end-stage liver disease or acute liver failure, providing patients with a vital option for restoring liver function and improving quality of life. The procedure requires careful donor matching, meticulous surgical technique, and post-operative management to ensure the best possible outcomes for recipients.
