Liver Surgery

Liver diseases, such as tumors, cirrhosis, or cysts, require precise surgical intervention. Dr. Aasima Boxwalla, a leading Consultant in Surgical Gastroenterology, G.I., and HPB Oncology, specializes in liver surgery, offering advanced treatments for liver conditions with a focus on minimal invasiveness, reduced pain, and quicker recovery.

Understanding Liver Surgery

Liver surgery encompasses a variety of procedures aimed at treating liver conditions, such as cancer, benign tumors, cysts, or liver damage from cirrhosis. These surgeries may include partial or total liver resection, liver transplantation, or procedures to drain or remove cysts. Depending on the condition and its severity, surgery can be performed either through traditional open surgery or minimally invasive techniques, including laparoscopic surgery.

Liver surgery requires high precision due to the liver’s central role in detoxifying the body and regulating metabolic functions. Dr. Aasima employs the latest techniques to ensure the best possible outcome with minimal disruption to surrounding tissues.

The Role of Liver Surgery in Treating Liver Conditions

Liver surgery plays a key role in treating conditions such as:

• Liver Cancer: Removal of malignant tumors to prevent cancer from spreading.
• Benign Liver Tumors: Removing non-cancerous growths that may cause pain, discomfort, or complications.
• Cysts and Abscesses: Draining or removing cysts or abscesses in the liver that can cause symptoms or impair liver function.
• Cirrhosis or Liver Damage: In advanced cases, liver resection or a liver transplant may be necessary to address severe liver damage caused by cirrhosis or other chronic conditions.

Dr. Aasima Boxwalla’s expertise ensures that each procedure is tailored to the specific condition, achieving optimal results with minimal risk and maximum recovery.
