Liver transplantation is assuming an increasingly important role in present-day hepatology; it is the preferred treatment in many cases of acute or chronic liver disease. The results have shown constant improvement thanks to the introduction of standardized techniques for removal and implantation of the liver, improved immunosuppression and postoperative care. Good long-term results--a five-year survival rate in up to 70% of the cases--can only be achieved by strict self-discipline on the part of the patient and careful postoperative follow-up, with close collaboration between the general practitioner, the hepatologist and the transplant surgeon.
肝移植在当今肝病学中发挥着越来越重要的作用；在许多急慢性肝病病例中，它是首选的治疗方法。由于引入了肝脏切除和植入的标准化技术、改进了免疫抑制和术后护理，结果显示持续改善。只有患者严格自律并进行仔细的术后随访，同时全科医生、肝病学家和移植外科医生密切合作，才能取得良好的长期效果——高达70%的病例五年生存率。
