Liver Surgery Procedures We Offer

Dr. Abhinav Sengar provides surgical treatment for a range of liver conditions, with the procedure selected according to the type, location and extent of the disease.

Liver Tumor Surgery

Surgical removal of tumors from the liver to treat benign or cancerous growths when surgery is considered appropriate.

Liver Cancer Surgery

Removal of cancerous liver tissue to treat liver cancer and, where appropriate, help control the spread of the disease.

Liver Resection

Removal of the affected portion of the liver while preserving as much healthy liver tissue as possible.

Understanding Liver Surgery: When Do You Need It?

Liver surgery becomes necessary when a growth, injury, or disease affects how the liver functions and cannot be managed with medication alone. Many patients first notice vague symptoms such as ongoing fatigue, discomfort in the upper right abdomen, or unexplained weight loss, and it is often only after imaging tests that a liver condition is confirmed. Understanding when surgery is the right path, rather than continued monitoring, is one of the most important decisions in this journey.

Common Signs You May Need Liver Surgery

Persistent pain or heaviness in the upper right side of the abdomen
A lump or growth detected during an ultrasound or CT scan
Unexplained weight loss along with loss of appetite
Yellowing of the skin or eyes (jaundice)
Abnormal liver function test results that do not improve with treatment
A known liver injury following an accident or trauma

Conditions That Require Surgical Intervention

Not every liver condition needs surgery. Many patients are first managed with medication, dietary changes, or close monitoring. Surgery is generally recommended when a tumor is large enough to risk further complications, when a cyst is causing pain or pressure on nearby organs, when trauma has caused significant internal bleeding, or when cancer has been localized to a portion of the liver that can be safely removed.

Diagnosis: How We Evaluate Your Condition

An accurate diagnosis is the foundation of safe liver surgery. Before recommending any procedure, Dr. Abhinav Sengar reviews your symptoms, medical history, and any existing reports to build a complete picture of your condition.

Tests and Investigations Used

Blood tests, including liver function tests, to assess how well the liver is working
Ultrasound of the abdomen to detect tumors, cysts, or structural changes
CT scan or MRI for detailed imaging of the liver and surrounding organs
Biopsy, when needed, to confirm whether a growth is benign or malignant
Endoscopy, if related digestive symptoms are present

When Surgery Becomes Necessary

Surgery is recommended only when it offers a clear benefit over continued monitoring or non-surgical treatment. Dr. Abhinav Sengar discusses the findings with you in detail, explaining why surgery is being suggested, what alternatives were considered, and what outcomes can realistically be expected, so that you can make an informed decision about your care.

Liver Resection Surgery: Our Surgical Approach

Liver resection involves surgically removing the portion of the liver affected by a tumor, cyst, cancer, or injury, while preserving healthy liver tissue. The liver is unique in its ability to regenerate, which allows patients to recover meaningful liver function even after a significant portion is removed.

Open vs Laparoscopic (Minimally Invasive) Surgery

Depending on the size, location, and complexity of the condition, liver resection can be performed as open surgery or through a laparoscopic, minimally invasive approach. Laparoscopic liver surgery is performed through small incisions using specialized instruments and a camera, and is available at Tulip Hospital for suitable cases. It can offer smaller scars, and Dr. Abhinav Sengar will advise which approach is appropriate for your specific case after evaluating your reports.

What Happens During the Procedure

During liver resection, the surgical team carefully identifies the affected portion of the liver, controls blood supply to minimize bleeding, and removes the diseased tissue while protecting healthy liver structures, blood vessels, and bile ducts. The exact technique used depends on where the tumor, cyst, or injury is located within the liver.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1. What is liver resection surgery?

Liver resection is a surgical procedure in which the portion of the liver affected by a tumor, cyst, cancer, or injury is removed, while the remaining healthy liver tissue is preserved to continue functioning.

Q2. When is liver surgery necessary?

Liver surgery is generally recommended when a tumor, cyst, or injury cannot be safely managed with medication or monitoring alone, or when imaging and biopsy results indicate a growth that requires removal.

Q3. Is laparoscopic liver surgery safer than open surgery?

Both approaches can be safe and effective depending on the case. Laparoscopic surgery is minimally invasive and may offer smaller incisions, but the right choice depends on the size, location, and complexity of the condition, which Dr. Sengar will assess individually.

Q4. Is liver surgery painful?

As with any surgery, some discomfort is expected during recovery. Pain is managed through appropriate medication, and the level of discomfort generally decreases steadily in the days following the procedure.

Q5. What conditions can liver surgery treat?

Liver surgery can address liver tumors, liver cancer, liver trauma, benign liver lesions, liver cysts, and metastatic liver disease that has spread from another organ to the liver.

Q6. How is a liver tumor diagnosed?

Diagnosis typically involves blood tests including liver function tests, imaging such as ultrasound, CT scan, or MRI, and sometimes a biopsy to confirm whether the growth is benign or malignant.

Q7. What is the recovery like after liver surgery?

Recovery varies by patient and depends on the extent of surgery performed. The care team monitors healing during the hospital stay, and follow-up visits continue to track progress, with the liver’s natural regenerative ability supporting long-term recovery.
