Liver Transplant and HPB Surgeries
Hospital in Bangalore

Liver transplants and HPB surgeries are critical procedures for patients suffering from severe liver disease or hepatobiliary disorders. In a liver transplant surgery, a diseased liver is replaced with a healthy one from a donor. HPB surgeries focus on the treatment of conditions affecting the liver, pancreas, and bile ducts, addressing issues like tumours or blockages. Both surgical options require specialised expertise and comprehensive care to ensure successful outcomes for patients.  

The  Medical Team: 

Trained at some of the best hospitals in the world, the team comprises experts in hepatology, hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery, liver transplantation, pancreas and kidney transplantation, oncology, hepatobiliary radiology, transplant anaesthesia, adult and paediatric intensive care, and liver pathology. The team aims to provide comprehensive liver care services, including managing liver cirrhosis, liver failure, cancers of the liver, and various disorders of the gallbladder, bile duct, and pancreas. They specialise in liver transplant procedures (live donor, cadaveric, and split liver) and kidney and pancreas transplants and are led by experienced liver transplant surgeons and hepatobiliary surgeons.
