Apollo Liver Clinic

Liver Transplant

Apollo Liver Clinics is an e ffort to simplify, streamline and

optimize the care of patients with liver disease. We aim to

become a ‘one stop solution’ for patients with liver

diseases & hepato-biliary pancreatic disorders so that all

their requirements related to medical care are available

under one roof & from one place thus saving patients’

time, cost & reducing duplication of tests & clinic

encounters. These clinics provide a road map of the

treatment plan that is optimally tailored for the

individual patient.

Liver transplantation is a replacement of diseased liver in

a patient with end stage liver failure with a healthy organ.

Both adults & children can undergo liver transplantation.

Hepatitis related liver cirrhosis, acute liver failures & even

those complicated by unresectable liver tumors can be

effectively treated by liver transplantation. Living donor

liver transplantation is a safe option with high successrates & is absolute safety for the donors. Particularly for

sick patients where waiting can be perilous, we strongly

recommend living donor liver transplantation.

Pancreas, small bowel and multi-visceral

transplantation

Hepatobiliary-Pancreatic Surgery

Pancreas transplantation is for people with difficult to

control diabetes who also have renal failure. It is aimed to

‘cure’ diabetes and in the long run it will protect the

transplanted kidney from being affected by diabetes and

even reverse neuropathy and prolong their life.

Small bowel transplantation is for people with intestinal

failure from either surgical cause or medical cause. This

patient population, if not treated appropriately, will

additionally develop liver and or kidney failure. They may

need combination of liver, small intestine and kidney

transplantation (multi-visceral transplantation). We have

a successful on-going cadaver organ transplantation

program which make these type of complex operations

possible. We have the doctors and the technology

available to optimize their care in all aspects.

  The Centre for Liver Disease & Transplantation is

committed to providing the most advanced diagnostic &

therapeutic tools available in the treatment of liver,

biliary and pancreatic tumors. We offer minimally

invasive options including laparoscopic surgical

resection, radio-frequency ablation, trans-arterial

chemo-embolization, radioactive micro-sphere

injections etc. Our multi-disciplinary group undertaking

these treatments includes radiation & interventional

radiologists & oncologists.
