HOW IS THE PROCEDURE PERFORMED?

How is Liver Cancer Surgery Performed?

Esophageal cancer surgery removes the affected esophagus, nearby lymph nodes, and reconstructs digestion by connecting the stomach to remaining esophagus.

Preoperative Assessment

Before surgery, Dr. Prashanth Koyyoda performs a comprehensive evaluation that includes liver function tests, tumor marker assessment (AFP when appropriate), CT scan, MRI liver, PET-CT when indicated, and anesthetic fitness evaluation. The size, location, and number of tumors are carefully assessed to determine the safest and most effective surgical approach.

General Anesthesia

The surgery is performed under general anesthesia to ensure complete comfort throughout the procedure. The anesthesia team continuously monitors vital signs and maintains patient safety during the operation.

Surgical Procedure

Depending on the tumor location and extent, the affected portion of the liver is carefully removed while preserving healthy liver tissue whenever possible. Modern laparoscopic liver resection techniques are used in suitable patients to minimize surgical trauma, reduce blood loss, and promote faster recovery. Every procedure follows strict oncological principles to achieve complete tumor removal with adequate surgical margins.

Reconstruction

In selected complex liver surgeries involving bile ducts or major blood vessels, reconstruction may be required to restore normal bile drainage or vascular circulation. These advanced reconstructive procedures are carefully planned to preserve liver function and optimize long-term outcomes.

Postoperative Care

Following surgery, patients are closely monitored for liver function, bleeding, infection, and overall recovery. Pain management, respiratory exercises, early mobilization, nutritional support, and liver function monitoring play an important role in ensuring a smooth postoperative recovery.

RECOVERY

Recovery After Liver Cancer Surgery

Recovery after esophageal cancer surgery includes gradual healing, nutritional support, pain management, follow-up care, and a steady return to daily activities.
