Centre of Excellence : Liver Transplantation & Hepato-pancreato-Biliary Surgery
Liver transplantation is a surgical procedure, which involves replacing a non-functional liver with
a healthy liver. Hepato-pancreato-biliary surgery involves a surgical procedure of the liver,
gallbladder and the pancreas.
Manipal Hospital is the best Liver transplantation and hepato-pancreato-biliary surgery hospital in
Pune specialised in the diagnosis and surgical management of an array of disorders related to the
pancreas, bile ducts, liver, and gallbladder.
Coming under the branch of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Manipal Hospitals' Liver transplant program is the largest of its kind in the country. The Liver transplantation program hosts a team of surgeons, doctors, nurses and other health professionals, who take care of the patient and the patient's family through the transplant process. Manipal Hospitals provide quality care focused on the individual needs of a patient. Hosting comprehensive expertise under one roof, focused on the patient makes the patient not just get one opinion but multiple opinions.
If a suitable donor liver has been found, surgeons then work to transplant the donor liver into the patient. The patient will then be placed on medication for pain management, anti-infection and immune suppression. The immunosuppressants are given to ensure that the body does not begin to recognize and attack the new donated liver as an intruder. In some cases, the immunosuppressants are a life-long prescription. The recovery time for someone who has had a liver transplant is expected to be 6 months or longer, depending on the illness or condition that led to liver failure and the damage to the rest of the body as a result.
A Whipple procedure (also called pancreaticoduodenectomy) is a complex, yet lifesaving surgical procedure used to treat pancreatic cancer, and other disease and disorders of the pancreas, bile duct, duodenum etc. The procedure involves the removal of the part of the pancreas(head of the pancreas), duodenum, bile duct, and sometimes portions of the stomach may be removed. The pancreas is an organ surrounded by the stomach, liver, spleen, small intestine, gallbladder, major blood vessels, etc. It is divided anatomically into the head (wide portion), neck or body (middle portion), and tail (thin portion). The pancreas releases digestive enzymes to digest food and hormones (insulin and glucagon) to regulate blood sugar levels. A variety of cancerous and non-cancerous tumours can be found in the pancreas, mostly confined to the head or the widest portion of the organ and is treated using the Whipple procedure.
In this procedure, a part of a healthy donor's liver is extracted and implanted into the patient that needs a liver. These procedures are most common among family members, since they have the highest chance to match with each other. The donor will spend around a week in the hospital with roughly 8 weeks of recovery time before they are able to function normally.
