    Overview

  • Dr. Jayanth Reddy is a highly skilled hepatobiliary and abdominal transplant surgeon in Old Airport Road, Bangalore. He is currently practising as Lead Consultant - HPB & Liver and Pancreatic Transplant at Manipal Hospital Old Airport Road, Bangalore, bringing over a decade of clinical and academic expertise to the care of adults and children with complex hepatobiliary and transplant needs. Dr. Jayanth Reddy’s clinical identity is defined by a rare combination of technical mastery, academic rigour, and a long record of programme building in liver and multivisceral transplantation. Trained at premier Indian institutions and further shaped by an ASTS-accredited Multi-Organ Abdominal Transplant Fellowship at Duke University Medical Center, USA, he has translated international exposure into consistently improved patient outcomes and robust transplant programmes across India.

  • As a Lead Consultant at Manipal Hospital Old Airport Road, Dr. Reddy has been central to the development and optimisation of multidisciplinary pathways for living-donor and deceased-donor liver transplantation, pancreas transplantation, and small-intestinal and multivisceral transplants. His practice balances the highest standards of donor safety with meticulous recipient care, and he is recognised locally as one of the most authoritative figures in hepatobiliary surgery, frequently sought as the best liver transplant surgeon in Old Airport Road for complex referral cases.

  • His technical repertoire spans extended hepatic resections for malignant disease, antesitum and ex vivo resections for tumours involving the hepatic hilum, vascular reconstruction in complex pancreatic and hepatic resections, and minimally invasive HPB techniques, including laparoscopic and robotic approaches. Beyond resectional surgery, Dr. Reddy’s work in simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplantation, split-liver procedures, ABO-incompatible transplants, and paediatric liver transplantation demonstrates a broad commitment to treating the entire spectrum of HPB pathology. He has repeatedly demonstrated the capacity to tailor surgical strategy to individual physiology and disease burden, while coordinating perioperative critical care, interventional radiology, and hepatology to reduce morbidity and accelerate recovery.

  • A dedicated teacher and mentor, Dr. Reddy actively supervises DNB and M.Ch trainees and hosts international fellows from resource-limited settings, sharing not only surgical technique but programme management skills: donor evaluation protocols, recipient selection criteria, immunosuppression strategies, and evidence-based perioperative pathways. His academic contributions include peer-reviewed articles that address donor safety, transplant complications, and operative innovations, subjects that reflect his twin priorities of protecting donors and improving recipient outcomes. He has also contributed case reports and series that illuminate rare complications and technical solutions, and his publications have appeared in journals that shape contemporary HPB practice.

  • Throughout his career, Dr. Reddy has combined surgical excellence with programme development and social responsibility. At previous centres, he helped establish affordable paediatric transplant initiatives that expanded access to life-saving surgery for underprivileged children; at the institutional level, he has contributed to transplant protocol development and quality-improvement measures that reduce postoperative complications and standardise care. These efforts, together with awards for surgical excellence and repeated invitations to present at national and international meetings, underline his reputation as a surgeon who builds sustainable services, not simply individual successes. He remains an active member of professional bodies, including the International Liver Transplant Society, ASTS, IHPBA, and the Liver Transplant Society of India, participating in collaborative research and guideline development.

  • Patients and referring clinicians appreciate Dr. Reddy for his candid communication, meticulous planning, and compassionate stewardship of complex cases. He is frequently consulted for difficult hepatobiliary problems and retransplantation scenarios and is recognised within the city as one of the best liver transplant surgeons in Old Airport Road for complicated referrals. Whether undertaking a technically demanding resection, advising on donor suitability or designing a minimally invasive approach to a pancreatic tumour, his practice is guided by evidence, thoughtful risk mitigation and an insistence on multidisciplinary co-ordination. For families facing the stress of major abdominal surgery, Dr. Reddy offers clear counsel, detailed perioperative planning, and a continuity of care that extends from preoperative assessment through long-term follow-up. His ongoing training in robotic HPB techniques, most recently at IRCAD, Taiwan (2025), ensures that his practice continues to integrate contemporary technology where it offers real benefits to patients. In short, Dr. Jayanth Reddy combines international fellowship training, a decade of programme-level experience, and a deep commitment to education and donor safety, making him a leading choice for hepatobiliary and abdominal transplant care in Bangalore.

  • Overview

  • Dr. Jayanth Reddy is a highly skilled hepatobiliary and abdominal transplant surgeon in Old Airport Road, Bangalore. He is currently practising as Lead Consultant - HPB & Liver and Pancreatic Transplant at Manipal Hospital Old Airport Road, Bangalore, bringing over a decade of clinical and academic expertise to the care of adults and children with complex hepatobiliary and transplant needs. Dr. Jayanth Reddy’s clinical identity is defined by a rare combination of technical mastery, academic rigour, and a long record of programme building in liver and multivisceral transplantation. Trained at premier Indian institutions and further shaped by an ASTS-accredited Multi-Organ Abdominal Transplant Fellowship at Duke University Medical Center, USA, he has translated international exposure into consistently improved patient outcomes and robust transplant programmes across India.

  • As a Lead Consultant at Manipal Hospital Old Airport Road, Dr. Reddy has been central to the development and optimisation of multidisciplinary pathways for living-donor and deceased-donor liver transplantation, pancreas transplantation, and small-intestinal and multivisceral transplants. His practice balances the highest standards of donor safety with meticulous recipient care, and he is recognised locally as one of the most authoritative figures in hepatobiliary surgery, frequently sought as the best liver transplant surgeon in Old Airport Road for complex referral cases.

  • His technical repertoire spans extended hepatic resections for malignant disease, antesitum and ex vivo resections for tumours involving the hepatic hilum, vascular reconstruction in complex pancreatic and hepatic resections, and minimally invasive HPB techniques, including laparoscopic and robotic approaches. Beyond resectional surgery, Dr. Reddy’s work in simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplantation, split-liver procedures, ABO-incompatible transplants, and paediatric liver transplantation demonstrates a broad commitment to treating the entire spectrum of HPB pathology. He has repeatedly demonstrated the capacity to tailor surgical strategy to individual physiology and disease burden, while coordinating perioperative critical care, interventional radiology, and hepatology to reduce morbidity and accelerate recovery.

  • A dedicated teacher and mentor, Dr. Reddy actively supervises DNB and M.Ch trainees and hosts international fellows from resource-limited settings, sharing not only surgical technique but programme management skills: donor evaluation protocols, recipient selection criteria, immunosuppression strategies, and evidence-based perioperative pathways. His academic contributions include peer-reviewed articles that address donor safety, transplant complications, and operative innovations, subjects that reflect his twin priorities of protecting donors and improving recipient outcomes. He has also contributed case reports and series that illuminate rare complications and technical solutions, and his publications have appeared in journals that shape contemporary HPB practice.

  • Throughout his career, Dr. Reddy has combined surgical excellence with programme development and social responsibility. At previous centres, he helped establish affordable paediatric transplant initiatives that expanded access to life-saving surgery for underprivileged children; at the institutional level, he has contributed to transplant protocol development and quality-improvement measures that reduce postoperative complications and standardise care. These efforts, together with awards for surgical excellence and repeated invitations to present at national and international meetings, underline his reputation as a surgeon who builds sustainable services, not simply individual successes. He remains an active member of professional bodies, including the International Liver Transplant Society, ASTS, IHPBA, and the Liver Transplant Society of India, participating in collaborative research and guideline development.

  • Patients and referring clinicians appreciate Dr. Reddy for his candid communication, meticulous planning, and compassionate stewardship of complex cases. He is frequently consulted for difficult hepatobiliary problems and retransplantation scenarios and is recognised within the city as one of the best liver transplant surgeons in Old Airport Road for complicated referrals. Whether undertaking a technically demanding resection, advising on donor suitability or designing a minimally invasive approach to a pancreatic tumour, his practice is guided by evidence, thoughtful risk mitigation and an insistence on multidisciplinary co-ordination. For families facing the stress of major abdominal surgery, Dr. Reddy offers clear counsel, detailed perioperative planning, and a continuity of care that extends from preoperative assessment through long-term follow-up. His ongoing training in robotic HPB techniques, most recently at IRCAD, Taiwan (2025), ensures that his practice continues to integrate contemporary technology where it offers real benefits to patients. In short, Dr. Jayanth Reddy combines international fellowship training, a decade of programme-level experience, and a deep commitment to education and donor safety, making him a leading choice for hepatobiliary and abdominal transplant care in Bangalore.
