Note that when you modify the BCD store, you must force it to be recreated in order for your changes to take effect. To do this, either restart the WDSServer service (run wdsutil /stop-server and then run wdsutil /start-server) or run Sc control wdsserver 129.
In the procedure, a healthy donor -- usually a blood relative -- undergoes an operation to remove a portion of his liver for the recipient. Part of a blood vessel in the leg is also removed to connect the donated liver portion to the recipient. The donor may have to remain in the hospital a week or longer as the liver begins to heal and regenerate itself. Full regeneration generally takes six to eight weeks.
The donor's liver and the portion of the donor's liver given to the recipient grow back to their full size within a few weeks. Living-donor liver transplant also may be performed from adult donors to pediatric recipients at Mayo Clinic in Minnesota.fter you donate a portion of your liver, living-donor coordinators and other transplant staff members will offer you support and follow-up care for several months after your surgery.
