The liver is the largest internal organ in the body and performs over 500 vital functions — from filtering toxins to producing essential proteins and metabolising nutrients.

Many patients are surprised to learn that a significant portion of the liver can be safely removed. The liver's extraordinary regenerative capacity means it can regrow to near-normal size within 6–8 weeks after surgery, provided the remaining liver is healthy. In patients with normal liver function, up to 70–80% of the liver can be resected safely. This remarkable biology makes curative surgery possible even for large liver tumours.
Early detection of liver tumours can be cured surgically. If you have been diagnosed with a liver mass, seek expert surgical opinion without delay. Regular ultrasound monitoring is recommended for patients with cirrhosis, hepatitis B/C, or fatty liver disease.
Liver cancer incidence is rising across Punjab and Haryana, partly linked to the high prevalence of hepatitis B and C, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and alcoholic liver disease in the region. Gallbladder cancer with liver involvement is also particularly common in North India.
Dr. Raman Garg at Bathinda specialises in the surgical management of these conditions. He works closely with medical oncologists and radiation oncologists to provide a comprehensive, multidisciplinary treatment plan for each patient.
Liver resection offers the best chance of cure for operable liver cancer. However, not all liver tumours require surgery. The treatment decision depends on tumour size, number, location, liver function (Child-Pugh score), and the patient's overall health. Alternatives include transarterial chemoembolisation (TACE), radiofrequency ablation (RFA), stereotactic radiotherapy (SBRT), and systemic targeted therapy. Dr. Raman Garg will guide you to the most appropriate option after thorough evaluation including CT scan, MRI, and tumour marker tests.
A thorough pre-operative workup ensures safe surgery. This typically includes:

Liver surgery is required for liver tumours (benign and malignant), liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma), liver metastases from colon or stomach cancer, liver cysts (hydatid cysts), liver abscesses, living donor liver transplant (donor hepatectomy), and severe liver trauma.
Modern liver surgery is significantly safer than in previous decades due to advanced anaesthesia, imaging guidance, and laparoscopic techniques. In experienced hands at a specialised centre like Bombay Gastro & Cancer Institute, laparoscopic liver resection has low complication rates and excellent recovery.
Liver resection is the surgical removal of a portion of the liver affected by disease. It is performed for primary liver cancer, secondary liver cancer (metastases), large benign tumours, and certain cysts. The liver has remarkable regenerative capacity and can regrow to near-normal size within weeks.
Recovery depends on the extent of surgery. After laparoscopic liver resection, most patients are discharged in 3–5 days and return to normal activities within 4–6 weeks. Open liver surgery may take 6–8 weeks of recovery. Dr. Raman Garg provides comprehensive post-operative care.
