Liver Resection (Partial Hepatectomy) Treatment in India

About Liver Resection (Partial Hepatectomy)

Liver resection removes a diseased portion of the liver, such as a tumor or damaged tissue, while preserving enough healthy liver to maintain normal function. The liver's unique ability to regenerate allows patients to recover a full-sized, functioning liver within weeks of surgery, making resection an effective alternative to transplant for suitable candidates.

Symptoms to Watch For

  • Pain or discomfort in the upper right abdomen
  • Unexplained weight loss
  • Loss of appetite
  • Fatigue
  • Jaundice in some cases
  • A palpable mass or fullness in the abdomen

When You Should Seek Treatment

Liver resection is recommended for localized liver tumors, certain benign liver conditions, or damaged liver tissue where enough healthy liver remains to support recovery. Your surgical team will assess liver function and tumor location through imaging before recommending surgery.

How the Treatment Works

  • Performed under general anesthesia
  • The diseased portion of the liver is carefully removed
  • Minimally invasive laparoscopic or robotic techniques used for select cases
  • Remaining healthy liver tissue is preserved to support regeneration
  • Surgery duration is typically 3-6 hours

Recovery & Hospital Stay

  • 5-10 days hospital stay
  • Liver begins regenerating within days of surgery
  • Most patients resume light activities within 4-6 weeks
  • Regular follow-up imaging to monitor liver regeneration and recovery
  • Full recovery typically within 8-12 weeks
