Living donor liver transplantation involves transplanting a portion of a healthy donor's liver into a patient with advanced liver disease. Careful donor selection, surgical planning and long-term transplant follow-up are essential parts of the process.
Deceased donor liver transplantation is performed for selected patients with end-stage liver disease or other appropriate transplant indications using a donated liver from a deceased donor.
Liver cancer surgery may involve partial liver resection, complex hepatectomy or transplantation depending on tumour type, location, liver function and overall cancer stage.
Robotic liver surgery uses advanced robotic technology to assist selected liver resections through minimally invasive approaches while providing enhanced surgical precision.
Laparoscopic liver resection allows selected liver tumours or diseased liver segments to be removed using smaller incisions and specialised minimally invasive instruments.
Whipple pancreaticoduodenectomy is a complex operation commonly used for selected cancers and diseases involving the head of the pancreas, distal bile duct and nearby structures.
Distal pancreatectomy involves removal of the body or tail of the pancreas and may be performed with spleen preservation in selected patients.
ALPPS is an advanced staged liver surgery technique used in carefully selected patients with extensive liver tumours when sufficient future liver remnant needs to be developed before definitive resection.
Surgery for hilar cholangiocarcinoma involves complex treatment of bile duct cancer near the liver hilum and may require major liver resection along with bile duct reconstruction.
Radical cholecystectomy is an extended gallbladder cancer operation that may involve removal of the gallbladder, adjacent liver tissue and regional lymph nodes depending on disease extent.
Complex hepatectomy involves removal of major or anatomically challenging portions of the liver for conditions such as liver cancer, cholangiocarcinoma and selected metastatic tumours.
Gastrectomy involves partial or complete removal of the stomach and may be performed for selected stomach cancers or other serious gastric conditions.
Colectomy involves removal of part or all of the colon and may be required for selected colorectal cancers and other significant bowel diseases.
Esophagectomy involves surgical removal of part or most of the oesophagus and may form part of treatment for selected oesophageal cancers.
Gastrointestinal cancer surgery includes operative treatment for selected cancers of the oesophagus, stomach, liver, pancreas, gallbladder, bile ducts, small bowel and colon.
