Frequently Asked Questions

What conditions require a liver transplant?
A liver transplant is usually recommended for end-stage liver disease (such as severe liver cirrhosis), acute liver failure, certain metabolic disorders, or early-stage liver cancer (Hepatocellular Carcinoma) that cannot be treated with other therapies.
What is a Living Donor Liver Transplant (LDLT)? +
In a living donor liver transplant, a healthy person donates a portion of their liver to the patient. Because the liver has the unique ability to regenerate, both the donor's and the recipient's liver sections will grow back to normal size within a few weeks.
Does Dr. Kumar perform robotic or minimally invasive surgeries? +
Yes. Dr. Kumar is highly specialized in minimally invasive and robotic liver surgeries, including minimally invasive donor hepatectomy, which significantly reduces the donor's recovery time and post-operative pain.
Can I request a second opinion regarding my liver cancer or transplant need? +
Absolutely. Given the critical nature of HPB surgeries and transplants, Dr. Kumar highly encourages patients to seek an expert second opinion to fully understand their surgical options, risks, and recovery pathways.
What should I bring to my first consultation? +
Please bring all your previous medical records, recent LFTs (Liver Function Tests), viral markers, ultrasound or Fibroscan reports, triple-phase CT/MRI scans of the abdomen, and a list of your current medications.
