FAQ's

The conditions that require liver, gallbladder, and bile duct surgeries include:

  • Liver Abscess: A pus-filled tumour that may develop due to an infection or injury is known as a liver abscess.

  • Adenomas: These are the non-cancerous liver tumours that affect women aged 20 to 50.

  • Gallbladder cancer

  • Bile duct cancer

  • Bile duct injury

  • Liver hemangiomas: This benign liver tumour is a cluster of blood vessels.

  • Metastatic liver cancer: This type of cancer gets spread somewhere else in the body first and then develops in the liver.

Numerous surgeries are involved in treating disorders of the liver, gallbladder, and bile duct. Some common surgical procedures may involve:

  • Hepatectomy (complete or partial removal of the liver): It is a complex surgery that involves the removal of a diseased part of the liver while not disturbing the healthy part. This procedure is also known as Liver Resection. It helps remove liver tumours that are cancerous and non-cancerous.

  • Liver Transplant: After the removal of the liver, a healthy liver is transplanted into the body.

  • Bile Duct Reconstruction: When the bile duct is injured or damaged, it is replaced by a tube made from a tiny part of the small intestine. This way, the bile duct gets repaired and reconstructed.

  • Bile Duct Bypass Surgery: This surgical procedure is done to relieve the symptoms of a blocked bile duct.

  • Bile Duct Stenting: A stent is placed in the bile duct so that bile may flow freely. It is helpful in cases of bile duct blockages or constrictions.

  • Cholecystectomy (removal of the gallbladder): The removal of the gallbladder can be done with two methods: traditional open surgery and laparoscopic surgery.

  • Open Cholecystectomy: This is a major surgical procedure that involves the removal of the gallbladder by making a large cut in the abdomen.

  • Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy: It is a minimally invasive procedure as small cuts are made in the abdomen. This is the best alternative to open, traditional surgery for gallbladder removal. With this, there is a shorter hospital stay, less risk of complications, and a quicker recovery.

There can be different preparations for different surgeries, but some pre-operative procedures are similar for all kinds of surgeries. You can expect the following preparations before liver, gallbladder, and bile duct surgeries:

  • Medical History: Your healthcare professional will take your medical history to check your overall health, any medical disorders, medications taken, and allergies to avoid risks after the surgery.

  • Physical assessment: Before surgery, you may undergo some diagnostic tests such as blood tests, imaging scans (like ultrasound or MRI), and cardiac evaluations to assess your heart function.

  • Medicinal assessment: Your doctor may check for the medications and supplements you consume. You will be told to avoid medications that can increase the risk of complications during and after the surgery.

  • Food: A night before the surgery, you may need to fast and then arrive the next day at the hospital. You also need to quit smoking and alcohol, as they create healing impairments. You will be advised to maintain a healthy weight and stay active.

Liver, gallbladder, and bile duct surgery, like any surgical procedure, carries certain risks and potential complications. Some common risks and complications associated with the surgeries of the liver, gallbladder, and bile duct are as follows:

  • Bleeding: This may involve bleeding from the site of the incision or blood vessels within the liver, gallbladder, or bile ducts. This can be managed with a blood transfusion.

  • Infection: An infection can develop at the incision site that can lead to wound inflammation of the abdominal lining.

  • Bile leakage: There may be a risk of leakage of bile in surgeries that involve gall bladder and gall duct procedures.

  • Risk of damage to the organ: When these surgeries are carried out, there is a risk of injury to the adjacent organs, which can further require surgical repair.

  • Side effects from anaesthesia may include respiratory problems and cardiovascular problems. However, several measures are taken to prevent the side effects of anaesthesia.

The recovery and time taken to recover after liver, gallbladder, and bile duct surgery depend on the type of surgery performed. But you can expect the following things during the recovery phase after the surgery:

  • You will stay for a couple of days or a week post-surgery, where you will be monitored. Depending on your condition, you will be on a liquid diet first, followed by a semi-liquid diet, and then a solid diet as guided by a healthcare professional.

  • You will be asked to keep the surgical area clean and dry.

  • You will be given painkillers and antibiotics to get relief from the pain and prevent further infection at the surgical site.

  • You must avoid heavy lifting, workouts, and exercises for some weeks after the surgery.

  • You need to catch up at a regular interval with your healthcare professional after your surgery.
