Liver Transplantation, Part Three: Time for Surgery! is a step-by-step guide to the experience of liver transplant surgery. It guides you right through the process, from receiving the call that your new liver is ready, through surgery, to recovery and discharge.
With easy to understand language and fun color illustrations, readers will learn what to expect during the surgery and how to prepare for the recovery process. You will also learn about all the surgeries involved - the surgery to retrieve the transplant liver and then the surgery to remove your sick liver and put the transplant liver into your body.
Important information is included in a ‘Facts’ section, including key facts and details about the surgeries, the hospital experience, the recovery process, problems to watch out for, and when to call your doctors. You will also find a convenient glossary of ‘Doctor Words’ with relevant medical terms explained in plain language. This is an informative and enjoyable book that aims to provide comfort, hope, and key information to children and their families.
