Advanced Liver Surgeries
At Yashoda Hospitals, we specialize in a comprehensive range of advanced liver surgeries designed to treat complex liver conditions with precision and care. Here’s an overview of the key procedures we offer:
Liver Transplantation
Liver transplantation is a life-saving procedure for patients with end-stage liver disease or liver failure. During the surgery, a diseased liver is replaced with a healthy liver from a deceased or living donor. This procedure restores normal liver function, helping patients resume their daily lives. Liver transplants are often the last resort when other treatments are ineffective.
Hepatectomy (Liver Resection) in HCC
Hepatectomy, or liver resection, is a surgical procedure used to remove cancerous parts of the liver, particularly in cases of Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC). Surgeons remove the tumor and surrounding healthy tissue, allowing the liver to regenerate. It is a crucial option for patients with liver cancer confined to one area of the liver.
Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt (TIPS)
TIPS is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat complications of portal hypertension, such as variceal bleeding or fluid accumulation. A stent is placed between the liver’s portal and hepatic veins, helping reduce pressure in the portal vein system and alleviating symptoms. This procedure is often recommended when other treatments are not effective.
Biliary Drainage and Stent Placement
This procedure is used to treat blockages or narrowing in the bile ducts, which can occur due to conditions like liver cancer or bile duct disease. During biliary drainage, a stent is inserted to open the bile ducts, ensuring proper bile flow from the liver to the intestines. It helps relieve symptoms like jaundice and reduces infection risk.
Portal Hypertension Surgery
Portal hypertension surgery is performed to manage increased pressure in the portal vein, which can cause complications such as internal bleeding or fluid buildup in the abdomen. Surgeons may perform procedures to redirect blood flow and reduce pressure in the veins, preventing severe complications and improving patient outcomes.
Liver Biopsy
Liver biopsy is a diagnostic procedure where a small tissue sample is taken from the liver for examination. It helps in diagnosing liver diseases such as hepatitis, cirrhosis, or cancer. The procedure is minimally invasive and plays a critical role in determining the best treatment options for patients with liver conditions.
Radiofrequency Ablation and Microwave Ablation
Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) and Microwave Ablation (MWA) are minimally invasive techniques used to treat liver tumors. High-frequency energy or microwave heat, is applied to destroy cancer cells without affecting surrounding healthy tissues. These procedures are ideal for patients with small or inoperable liver tumors, offering a less invasive treatment option.
