The department is staffed by a team of highly skilled and experienced surgeons who are trained in performing liver transplant surgeries, as well as other complex surgical procedures related to the liver, pancreas, and biliary system.

The department offers a wide range of services, including liver transplant surgery, pancreatic surgery, bile duct surgery, and other advanced laparoscopic surgeries. The surgeons at the department use the latest techniques and technologies to provide the best possible outcomes for their patients. 

Conditions we treat:

• Hepatocellular carcinoma: Hepatocellular carcinoma is a type of liver cancer that starts in the liver cells. It is most commonly caused by chronic liver disease, such as hepatitis B or C, and can spread to other parts of the body. Treatment options may include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and targeted therapy.
• Hilar cholangiocarcinoma: Hilar cholangiocarcinoma is a type of cancer that occurs in the bile ducts near the liver. It can cause blockages and lead to jaundice, abdominal pain, and weight loss. Treatment options may include surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy.
• Liver metastases: Liver metastases refer to cancerous tumors that have spread to the liver from other parts of the body. Treatment options may include surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy.
• Parenchyma preserving resections: Parenchyma preserving resections refer to surgical techniques that aim to preserve as much healthy liver tissue as possible during a liver resection. This can help to minimize the risk of post-operative complications and improve overall outcomes.
• Cystic lesions of liver: Cystic lesions of the liver refer to fluid-filled sacs that develop in the liver. They are usually benign, but in some cases, they may be cancerous. Treatment options may include surgery, drainage, or observation.
