Summary

This study will compare two types of liver transplants: auxiliary (where part of the patient's own liver is left in place) and living donor (where a portion of a donor's liver is used). Researchers will track 100 patients to see which approach leads to better survival, fewer complications like rejection, and better long-term health. The goal is to help doctors make more informed choices for patients needing a liver transplant.
