How long will a liver transplant operation last?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Most are 6-12 hours: Hard to be specific since recipients or donor organs may have features that make the procedure more or less difficult.

Variable: Most operations last about 6 hours, but depends of cause for liver transplant and immediate function of the transplanted liver. I have performed them in as short as 4.5 hours and as long as 12 hours.
