Liver Resection (Hepatectomy)

Liver resection involves the removal of part of the liver to treat conditions such as liver cancer, metastatic tumors, or benign liver tumors. At Adwaita Cancer Hospital & ICU, Dr. Divyesh Pathak utilizes advanced techniques to ensure precise tumor removal while preserving as much healthy liver tissue as possible. The procedure is tailored to each patient, focusing on achieving the best oncological outcomes with minimal recovery time.

Procedure for Liver Resection:

• Partial hepatectomy: Only the affected portion of the liver is removed.
• Major hepatectomy: Up to 70% of the liver may be removed if necessary.
• Surgery can be open or laparoscopic, depending on the size and location of the tumor.

Postoperative Care For Liver Resection

• Close monitoring of liver function.
• Prevention of complications like bleeding or infection.
• The liver’s ability to regenerate often leads to a good recovery, but recovery time varies.

Radical cholecystectomy

A radical cholecystectomy is an extended form of gallbladder removal, often performed for gallbladder cancer. It involves not only removing the gallbladder but also nearby tissues and lymph nodes to ensure that no cancer cells are left behind.

Whipple surgery

This complex procedure is used primarily to treat pancreatic cancer. It involves the removal of the head of the pancreas, part of the small intestine, the gallbladder, and sometimes part of the stomach.
