Hepatobilliary Surgery
The Department of Hepatobiliary surgery at KEM Hospital treats the complex and often interrelated conditions of the liver, pancreas, gallbladder, and biliary system. Our interdisciplinary services draw upon expertise from the fields of surgery, transplantation, oncology, hepatology, gastroenterology, radiology, radiation therapy, anaesthesia, pain management, and paediatrics.
The Liver Transplant Programme is dedicated to curing end-stage liver disease through liver transplants. Our level of experience allows us to accept high-risk transplant candidates who might be turned down at other centres, because of certain pre-existing comorbidities. Our program also specializes in the use of extended-criteria deceased donors, offering transplant candidates liver grafts that might otherwise not be available.
Transplants are performed for all indications stemming from both common and uncommon liver disorders.
