US EditionFootball legend Bernie Kosar: Liver transplant surgery successful
- Early Monday, University Hospitals, Cleveland completed Bernie Kosar's liver transplant surgery, which started at 5 a.m. and wrapped around 10 a.m., Jim McCarthy said.
- After a 2023 cirrhosis diagnosis, Kosar was placed on the liver transplant list in late spring 2024 as his condition worsened.
- After multiple aggressive procedures to stop internal bleeding, Kosar underwent seven procedures last week and Monday's transplant was his eighth operation following a delayed donor organ match due to infection.
- University Hospitals confirmed completion of Kosar's liver transplant and pledged full recovery support, while the Cleveland Browns honored him with a tribute at Huntington Bank Field and Kosar thanked the Haslam-Johnson family and the team.
- A community GoFundMe has raised more than $90,000, while Kosar's wellness projects KosarWellness.com and Renewing Athletes' Lives focus on athlete brain health during his recovery.
