The principal risk to the live donor when performing a live donor transplant, is the actual removal of part of their liver. Advances in surgical techniques have dramatically reduced the operative risk. The risk of death due to part of the liver being removed is less than 1%. The growth capacity of the liver is large. The liver function remains normal and the liver returns to near normal size.
