Best Answer

He will go on a waiting list for a cadaver donor liver. He will get the transplant and live for his expected life-span.

If no cadaver liver donor is available, they will treat him symptomatically and try to find a living donor among relatives who are compatible. If none is found, his long-term prognosis is not good. Half a liver from a living donor will regenerate and both the donor and the recipient will have an entire liver after a few months.

Why It is not possible to transplant gallbladder without liver transplant?

And when having a liver transplant, the gallbladder (both the original and the transplanted) are removed. Nobody with a liver transplant has a gall-bladder.
