Portal hypertension, a life-threatening complication of liver cirrhosis or vascular disorders, requires specialized surgical intervention to reduce pressure in the portal vein and prevent complications like variceal bleeding or ascites. At Liver Surgeons, Delhi's premier center, we offer:
Advanced surgical solutions for portal hypertension and its complications
For patients with good liver function, surgical shunts (DSRS/mesocaval) offer longer-lasting results than TIPS, with lower reintervention rates.
Our surgical management of ascites focuses on long-term solutions, reducing recurrence risk by 70% through tailored procedures.
Most patients resume normal activities in 4–6 weeks. Dr. George's team in Delhi provides personalized rehab plans.
Vascular reconstruction or mesocaval shunts are used to bypass blocked hepatic veins, tailored to your anatomy.
Candidates typically include patients with recurrent variceal bleeding, refractory ascites, or Budd-Chiari syndrome who have preserved liver function and are not suitable for TIPS. A detailed evaluation by our hepatobiliary team determines eligibility.
As with any major surgery, risks include bleeding, infection, and shunt thrombosis. However, with 3D mapping and intraoperative Doppler monitoring, our team minimizes complications and ensures safe outcomes.
Yes, most patients stay for 5–7 days post-surgery for observation, recovery, and initiation of physical therapy. Complex cases like Budd-Chiari may require a longer stay.
Absolutely. Successful decompression surgeries significantly reduce symptoms like fatigue, bleeding, and abdominal swelling, improving physical comfort and daily functioning.
