Overview
- University Hospitals confirmed completing the liver transplant Monday in Cleveland and thanked the donor’s family while withholding details under confidentiality rules.
- Kosar posted videos from his hospital bed saying he felt good and was ready to enjoy the rest of the week and the rest of his life.
- The surgery began around 5 a.m. and finished near 10 a.m., according to a close friend cited by cleveland.com’s Terry Pluto.
- The operation followed a year on the transplant list, multiple recent procedures to control internal bleeding, and an earlier postponement after a donor organ tested positive for infection.
- Kosar expressed gratitude to the donor family, noted a 30‑day limit on recipient contact, and drew public support from Browns coach Kevin Stefanski and the organization.
