I recorded it , have watched all of the 3 episodes. Can't wait to see it..sounds fascinating 😊
Looks very hopeful on using livers that might otherwise be rejected.
That's so very encouraging isnt it . Thanks for posting
Hi Millie,
I really wanted to watch this but I have been so busy, I didn't realise there have been three episodes. I wonder if I can find them somewhere do you know?
Otherwise you'll have to give me the low down!

They're all on BBC iPlayer, you can watch them anytime. 👍
as KLDN says they're all on iplayer and they're all worth a watch
Glad I watched after my transplant and not before !
I bet you did I'm not watching now .not that I I have Horta have one that never entered my head until now how brave everyone is the best to you .
Yes I imagine it’s a weird watch if you’ve actually had the procedure-I’m just in awe of the surgery.
Sorry on a light note reconditioned made me think of a car engine well I'm gonna watch that as well thanks .
Worth a watch and reconditioned is the right word- it is a spare part after all 🙂
I have not had a transplant as yet but watching anything regards to the liver does not bother me .
Infact i am always on you tube 🙈. The more i see and know what to expect is a good thing in a way ..but that's just me
Your brave I was nearly sick when I see liver and onions on Facebook !
Wow. Just watched it on i player. That is fantastic news i hope the machine helps many more people get their liver transplant. Having received one myself it was amazing to watch the bits of surgery they showed. I was mesmerized and also slightly teary watching how my surgeons would have saved my life. Amazing how everything is joined up together, i am in awe. 😊
I loved watching all the episodes. I had my transplant at QE and I've come across Doctor Perera a few times too but my surgeon was Professor Miuesin. Amazing what they can do and amazing how passionate they are about saving more lives.
Dr perera was my surgeon at QE. I missed the programme, could you tell me what it’s called so that I can download what I’ve missed.
Many thanks
It was a fantastic programme with inspiring surgeons.
All episodes can be viewed on BBC Iplayer,
Best wishes,

it was indeed
Ah it was brilliant. The Liver Transplant was performed by the surgeon (Mr Perera) who I have met a couple of times and signed the consent form for surgery with. I hope he is the one to perform my transplant. I signed up to be part of this trial the first time I was on the list in 2015.

good luck with it-he looks like a top man...
Great news on being relisted. Hope all goes well and you don't have too long a wait.
Thank you. Im wondering if anyone here has experienced mild encephalopathy. I dunno why but I’ve been getting really wound up recently about silly things. Short time later I’d feel really down or anxious and stressed. It’s just constantly up and down. I keep forgetting to do stuff too. Like general daily stuff that you just remember to do subconsciously.
Watched it and didn't really appreciate the work of the surgeons who were brilliant not to forget the rest of the brilliant team who I think I will be with for the rest of my life. Transplant in 2015 and although it wasn't straight forward everyone was and is brilliant 😃😃😃😃
that was the surgeon who did mine may this year at qe. seems like i had one of the best. cazer
well played-certainly looks like that
interesting to watch... think recovery looked a lot simpler than i remember!!!!
I had a split liver transplant at QE carried out by Mr Perera in 2015. I signed up for the profusion machine trial. My transplant went smoothly and my experience of Mr Perera was outstanding, a very professional man with compassion and outstanding patient care. The team at QE were so kind and supportive to me I could not have hoped for better care.
Very interesting to see what happened while I was asleep amazing programme.
Not sure I could have watched it prior to transplant but that’s just me. Bit of a wuss.
If anyone wants the iPlayer links, there's a post on my profile titled "Date for your diary". They are on there.
Certainly boosted my confidence if and when i need a tx . Great to see you all doing so well post tx .. under QEHB myself. Dr f Thompson and dr neil rajoria i have seen plus another lady begging with T ? talipa ? .. all a fantastic team

I agree, it was fantastic! I'm in awe of what they can do! Very good bedside manner too. Xx
It is too late to say but it is really good
Yeah, you're right, It's too late to say that this is a good thing. In General, surgery is often fascinating. Especially those doctors who are proficient with a scalpel. This may sound very strange right now, but isn't it nice to sometimes see a professional in his field save his patient with skillful movements? Surgery can be different. It's not always blood, organs, or the screams of the beholder in horror. For example, plastic surgery is a real art for me. Different type of surgery like here enblocsurgeons.com/ to save her life. My bow to the doctors
