Overview
The role of surgery in the treatment of drug induced liver injury is limited to liver transplantation in cases of severe, even life-threatening injury or for patients in whom there are no signs of spontaneous recovery. Otherwise, surgical intervention is not recommended for drug induced liver injury, given that 90% of cases of acute drug liver injury resolve without sequelae.
