Why liver disease needs attention
The liver is an essential organ that performs several crucial functions, including filtering toxins from the blood, producing bile, and storing vitamins and minerals.
Liver disease can be caused by various factors, including viral infections, alcohol consumption, genetic factors and obesity.
Left untreated, liver disease can lead to serious complications, such as liver failure and liver cancer. Assessment by a liver specialist helps establish what is causing the problem and whether surgery is needed.

Liver transplant surgery
Liver transplant surgery is a complex procedure that requires a high level of expertise. GastroPlus has a team of skilled liver transplant surgeons who carry out successful liver transplant surgeries, supported by the hospital's facilities and equipment.
Laparoscopic liver surgery
Laparoscopic liver surgery is a minimally invasive procedure that involves making small incisions in the abdomen to reach the liver. The surgeon uses a laparoscope — a thin tube with a camera and light — to view the liver and perform the surgery. This approach is less invasive and has a shorter recovery time than open liver surgery.
Open liver surgery
Open liver surgery is the traditional surgical procedure, in which a larger incision is made in the abdomen to reach the liver and the surgeon operates while viewing the liver directly. It suits patients with a larger liver, or those who need a more extensive surgical procedure.
Liver conditions we treat
Alongside surgery, our doctors treat liver disease medically. The conditions managed here include:
