What is Ante-situm & Ex-situ Liver Resection?

When traditional liver surgery is impossible due to tumor size, location, or vascular invasion, ante-situm and ex-situ liver resection offer life-saving solutions. These advanced techniques are designed for:

Liver Surgeons, Delhi’s premier center for gallbladder cancer surgery, we offer the following:

  • Tumors involving major blood vessels (vascular reconstruction in liver surgery).
  • Complex liver metastasis surgery (e.g., colorectal, neuroendocrine).
  • Cases requiring liver autotransplantation (reimplanting the liver after resection).

Liver Surgeons, Delhi’s leading center, we combine innovation and expertise to treat even the most challenging cases.

Advanced Liver Surgery

Cutting-edge surgical techniques for complex liver tumors and conditions

Advanced Surgical Techniques

  1. Ante-situm Liver Resection
    • Procedure: The liver is partially detached, cooled via hypothermic liver perfusion surgery, and temporarily moved to resect tumors while maintaining partial blood flow.
    • Use Cases: Tumors near the hepatic veins or inferior vena cava.
  2. Ex-situ Liver Resection (Bench Surgery)
    • Procedure: The liver is fully removed, cooled, and resected on a "bench" outside the body before re-transplantation.
    • Use Cases: Large central tumors requiring intricate reconstruction.
  3. Hypothermic Liver Perfusion Surgery
    • Purpose: Preserves liver function by cooling the organ to 4°C during resection, minimizing damage.
  4. Two-Stage Liver Tumor Resection
    • Approach: Removes tumors in two phases, allowing the liver to regenerate between surgeries.
    • Ideal For: Patients with insufficient future liver remnant.
  5. Vascular Reconstruction in Liver Surgery
    • Expertise: Repairing or rebuilding hepatic arteries, portal veins, or vena cava affected by tumors.
  6. Liver Autotransplantation
    • Process: The liver is removed, resected ex-situ, and reimplanted - a groundbreaking alternative to donor transplants.
  7. Veno-venous Bypass in Liver Resection
    • Role: Maintains blood circulation during surgery, reducing complications like hemodynamic instability.

Liver Surgery FAQs

In liver autotransplantation, your own liver is reimplanted after resection, eliminating rejection risks.

Yes! Cooling the liver to 4°C protects it during prolonged surgery, a technique refined by Dr. George’s team.

Absolutely. It allows the liver to regenerate, making previously inoperable tumors resectable.

Cutting-edge technology, skilled surgeons like Dr. Ashish George, and cost advantages position Delhi as India’s leader.

Recovery varies based on complexity:
Ante-situm: Hospital stay of 7–10 days; return to light activities in 4–6 weeks.
Ex-situ (Bench Surgery): Hospital stay of 10–14 days; full recovery may take 8–12 weeks due to the autotransplantation process.
Dr. Ashish George’s team in Delhi follows Enhanced Recovery Protocols to accelerate healing.

While rare, risks include:
• Bile duct injury from prolonged cooling.
• Vascular thrombosis post-reimplantation.
These are minimized with Dr. George’s expertise in hypothermic perfusion surgery and advanced intraoperative monitoring.

These surgeries may be avoided if:
• The patient has severely compromised liver function (e.g., advanced cirrhosis).
• Tumors involve both lobes diffusely with no resectable margins.
• The patient’s overall health cannot tolerate prolonged surgery (6+ hours).

Post-surgery, we track:
• Liver enzymes (AST/ALT) and bilirubin levels.
• Doppler ultrasound to ensure blood flow in reconstructed vessels.
• CT/MRI at 3-month intervals to detect recurrence.
