 I am Dr. Ravijan Siddhachari. I am a consultant hepatobiliary surgeon and chief liver transplant surgeon at Manipal Hospital's Old Airport Road, Bangalore. Liver transplant is quite successful. The success rates range from 90 to 95% depending on how sick is the patient. Overall survival rates range from 90% at 1 year and 79% at 3 years and 67 to 70% at 5 years.
