Hepatectomy is the surgical removal of a part of the liver to treat tumors, cysts, or trauma. The liver’s unique ability to regenerate allows up to 70% resection while restoring full function within weeks. At Liver Surgeons, Delhi’s premier hepatectomy center, we prioritize precision and safety to achieve 90% success rates in complex cases.
Advanced hepatic surgery with <2% major complication rate and 95% benign tumor cure rate
Curative treatment for:
Removal of:
Reconstruction for:
| Risk | Prevention Strategy |
|---|---|
| Bleeding | Pre-op embolization, intraoperative ultrasound |
| Liver Failure | Limit resection to 60–70% liver volume; PVE for major resections |
| Bile Leak | Meticulous surgical technique, fibrin glue sealing |
| Infection | Prophylactic antibiotics, strict sterile protocols |

Anita’s Major Resection Recovery:
“A giant hemangioma required removing 65% of my liver. Thanks to PVE and Dr. George’s skill, my liver regenerated fully. I’m back to marathon training!”
Mr. Sharma’s Benign Tumor Journey:
“A 10 cm liver cyst caused constant pain. Dr. Ashish George’s Delhi team performed a laparoscopic partial hepatectomy. I was home in 3 days and pain-free!”
Up to 70% in healthy livers. For cirrhotic patients, resection is limited to 40–50%. Dr. Ashish George uses 3D volumetry to plan safe limits.
Yes! Liver regeneration restores 80–90% of volume within 3 months.
For tumors <5 cm in inaccessible segments, laparoscopy is safe and effective. Larger masses may need open surgery.
5–7 days for open surgery; 2–3 days for laparoscopic surgery.
Eligibility depends on tumor size, location, and overall liver health. Dr. Ashish George evaluates patients using 3D volumetry and MRI to ensure tumors are inaccessible segments (II-VI) and <5 cm. Those with good liver function (Child-Pugh A) and no severe comorbidities qualify for minimally invasive liver resection surgery in Delhi.
Our Delhi team uses portal vein embolization (PVE) to boost liver regeneration pre-surgery for major resections. Intraoperative tools like ICG fluorescence imaging ensure safe margins, while post-op monitoring of liver enzymes and FibroScan® tracks recovery. Dr. Ashish George’s protocols achieve a <3% liver failure rate.
Yes, but cautiously. For liver resection in cirrhotic patients, we limit resection to 40–50% of liver volume and prioritize partial hepatectomy. Non-surgical options like ablation may be recommended for high-risk cases.
Most patients regain full liver function due to liver regeneration after resection. Long-term, we recommend:
• Annual FibroScan® to monitor fibrosis.
• Healthy diet/low alcohol intake to protect the regenerated liver.
• Surveillance imaging for cancer patients.
