Understanding Liver, Spleen & Pancreatic Conditions in the Indian Context
Urban Hyderabad sees a surge in fatty liver disease, viral hepatitis, alcohol-related liver damage, and pancreatitis fuelled by stressful lifestyles. Advanced imaging now detects tumours and cysts earlier, enabling curative surgery. Yet HPB procedures demand specialised centres. Ajuda Hospitals houses a dedicated HPB program, uniting surgeons, gastroenterologists, interventional radiologists, and oncologists for seamless care.
Our bilingual care coordinators support families from HITEC City, Secunderabad, and districts like Nizamabad or Karimnagar—ensuring clarity around treatment, travel, and finances.
When to Consult Our HPB Surgeons
⚠️ Seek Immediate Care If You Notice:
- ✓ Sudden severe abdominal pain radiating to the back (possible pancreatitis)
- ✓ Jaundice, dark urine, or pale stools indicating bile duct obstruction
- ✓ Abdominal swelling, ascites, or unexplained weight loss
- ✓ Trauma with left upper abdominal pain and dizziness
Planned consultations help chart long-term management for chronic pancreatitis, benign liver tumours, or spleen disorders. Ajuda provides second opinions and teleconsults for patients referred from neighbouring districts.
Our Diagnostic Approach
Imaging & Staging
Triphasic CT or MRI maps tumour size, vascular involvement, and resectability. MRCP evaluates bile ducts; endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) guides biopsies for pancreatic lesions.
Laboratory & Functional Assessment
Liver function tests, coagulation profile, and tumour markers (AFP, CA 19-9) inform staging. Fibroscan and portal pressure measurements assess liver reserve.
Multidisciplinary Tumour Board
HPB surgeons, medical oncologists, gastroenterologists, IR specialists, and nutritionists craft a personalised plan balancing cure, quality of life, and financial considerations.
Prehabilitation & Optimisation
Dieticians, physiotherapists, and hepatologists build strength, manage diabetes, and improve nutrition before major surgery.
Treatment Pathways
Ajuda provides end-to-end HPB care:
- Minimally Invasive Resections: Laparoscopic and robotic hepatectomy, splenectomy, and distal pancreatectomy for faster recovery.
- Complex Open Surgeries: Whipple, total pancreatectomy, and major liver resections for advanced malignancies.
- Interventional Therapies: Portal vein embolisation, TACE, and RFA reduce tumour load or prepare for surgery.
- Biliary & Pancreatic Drainage: ERCP stenting or EUS-guided drainage relieve jaundice and pain before definitive surgery.
- Critical Care: Dedicated HPB ICU with liver-friendly ventilation, haemodynamic monitoring, and infection control.
- Rehabilitation & Follow-up: ERAS protocols, nutrition counselling, and tele follow-ups support long-term recovery across Telangana.
What to Expect: Your Care Journey
- Initial Consult & Workup: Imaging, labs, and tumour board evaluation occur within 48 hours.
- Pre-Op Conditioning: Nutrition, physiotherapy, and medical optimisation underway to improve outcomes.
- Surgery & ICU Care: Procedures performed by experienced HPB surgeons; ICU monitors vitals, labs, and drains closely.
- Ward Recovery: Early mobilisation, pain control, and diet progression prepare you for discharge.
- Long-Term Monitoring: Follow-up visits, imaging, tumour markers, and telemedicine support detect recurrence early.
Technology & Innovation
Ajuda leverages 3D imaging, ICG fluorescence, advanced energy devices (LigaSure, harmonic scalpel), and rapid lab diagnostics. An integrated EMR tracks vitals, labs, and imaging, allowing remote specialist review and early intervention.
Preventing Complications
Robust prehabilitation, meticulous surgical technique, and ICU monitoring minimise blood loss, infections, bile leaks, or pancreatic fistula. Vaccination protocols after splenectomy prevent infections. Lifestyle coaching post-surgery supports liver health and glycaemic control.
