The Institute of Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary & Liver Transplantation (IHPBLT) at BLK-Max Super Speciality Hospital is a dedicated centre offering comprehensive care for liver transplantation, liver diseases, hepatobiliary (HPB) surgery, pancreatic surgery, and biliary disorders. Led by Dr. Abhideep Chaudhary, the institute provides advanced treatments including Living Donor Liver Transplant, ABO Incompatible Liver Transplant, Pediatric Liver Transplant, Dual Lobe Liver Transplant, Liver Re-Transplantation, and Robotic Liver Donor Surgery. Patients benefit from multidisciplinary expertise, advanced surgical technology, personalized treatment plans, and comprehensive post-transplant care, making it one of the leading liver transplant centres in Delhi and India.

Dr. Abhideep Chaudhary is a renowned liver transplant surgeon, hepatobiliary surgeon, and surgical gastroenterologist in Delhi with over two decades of experience in liver transplantation and HPB surgery. He serves as the Chairman and Head of the Institute of Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary & Liver Transplantation (IHPBLT) at BLK-Max Super Speciality Hospital. Having completed advanced transplant fellowships at the prestigious Thomas Starzl Transplantation Institute, University of Pittsburgh, USA, he specializes in complex liver transplantation, liver cancer surgery, pancreatic surgery, biliary reconstruction, robotic liver surgery, and gastrointestinal surgery for both Indian and international patients.

IHPBLT provides diagnosis and treatment for a wide spectrum of liver, pancreatic, biliary, and gastrointestinal diseases. The institute manages conditions including liver cirrhosis, acute and chronic liver failure, fatty liver disease, hepatitis B, liver fibrosis, portal hypertension, Budd-Chiari syndrome, liver cancer, pancreatic cancer, cholangiocarcinoma, gallbladder cancer, pancreatitis, gallstones, bile duct strictures, congenital biliary disorders, pediatric liver diseases, biliary atresia, and metabolic liver disorders using evidence-based medical and surgical treatments.

A liver transplant becomes necessary when the liver has sustained irreversible damage and can no longer perform its vital functions. It is commonly recommended for patients with end-stage liver cirrhosis, chronic liver failure, acute liver failure, certain liver cancers, inherited metabolic liver diseases, and selected pediatric liver disorders. A liver transplant specialist evaluates the patient's overall health, liver function, disease progression, and transplant eligibility before recommending the most appropriate treatment approach.

A Living Donor Liver Transplant is a procedure in which a healthy individual donates a portion of their liver to a patient requiring a transplant. Since the liver has the remarkable ability to regenerate, both the donor's and recipient's liver can grow back to nearly normal size within a few months after surgery. This approach significantly reduces waiting time, allows transplantation before the disease progresses further, and often leads to excellent long-term outcomes when performed by an experienced liver transplant team.

An ABO Incompatible Liver Transplant is a specialized transplant procedure performed when the donor and recipient have different blood groups. Advances in immunosuppressive therapy and transplant protocols now make this procedure possible for carefully selected patients who may not have a compatible donor available. Experienced transplant centres like IHPBLT use advanced treatment strategies to minimize rejection risks and achieve successful transplant outcomes.

The success rate of liver transplant in India is comparable to many leading international transplant centres when the procedure is performed by experienced surgeons in high-volume hospitals. Successful outcomes depend on several factors including the patient's medical condition, timing of transplantation, donor health, surgical expertise, intensive postoperative care, and long-term follow-up. Early diagnosis and timely referral to an experienced liver transplant centre significantly improve overall survival and quality of life.

The cost of a liver transplant in Delhi depends on several factors including the type of transplant, donor evaluation, ICU stay, duration of hospitalization, medications, investigations, and management of associated medical conditions. Living donor liver transplant, deceased donor liver transplant, pediatric liver transplant, and ABO incompatible liver transplant each have different treatment costs. Patients receive a detailed treatment estimate after a comprehensive medical evaluation.

Liver cirrhosis usually progresses through four stages, beginning with liver inflammation, followed by fibrosis, compensated cirrhosis, and finally decompensated cirrhosis. During the advanced stages, patients may experience complications such as jaundice, abdominal swelling, internal bleeding, confusion, and liver failure. Early diagnosis and treatment by a liver specialist can slow disease progression and reduce the risk of complications.

Yes. In its early stages, liver cirrhosis can often be managed through medications, treatment of the underlying cause, nutritional therapy, lifestyle modifications, and regular monitoring. Conditions such as hepatitis B, fatty liver disease, and alcohol-related liver disease can often be controlled to slow further liver damage. However, patients with advanced or decompensated cirrhosis may ultimately require liver transplantation for long-term survival.

Acute liver failure is a life-threatening medical emergency that requires immediate treatment. Patients may develop sudden jaundice, severe fatigue, persistent nausea, vomiting, confusion, altered consciousness, excessive bleeding, abdominal swelling, and rapid deterioration in liver function. Prompt evaluation by an experienced liver transplant surgeon is essential because emergency liver transplantation may be required in certain cases.

The treatment for fatty liver disease depends on its cause and severity. Most patients benefit from weight management, a healthy diet, regular physical activity, diabetes control, cholesterol management, avoidance of alcohol, and treatment of associated metabolic disorders. Patients with advanced fatty liver disease should undergo specialist evaluation to prevent progression to liver fibrosis, cirrhosis, or liver failure.

Treatment for liver cancer depends on the stage of the tumour, liver function, and the patient's overall health. Options may include liver resection surgery, liver transplantation, robotic liver surgery, minimally invasive liver surgery, ablation procedures, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, chemotherapy, or a combination of these treatments. At IHPBLT, every liver cancer case is discussed by a multidisciplinary team to develop an individualized treatment plan.

Robotic liver surgery is an advanced minimally invasive surgical technique that enables surgeons to perform complex liver procedures with greater precision through small incisions. Compared with conventional open surgery, robotic liver surgery may result in reduced blood loss, less postoperative pain, smaller scars, faster recovery, and shorter hospital stays for appropriately selected patients.

The Whipple procedure, also known as pancreaticoduodenectomy, is a complex surgical operation commonly performed for pancreatic cancer, bile duct cancer, ampullary cancer, and selected benign pancreatic diseases. During the procedure, the surgeon removes the head of the pancreas, part of the small intestine, gallbladder, and bile duct before reconstructing the digestive tract to restore normal digestive function.

Treatment for bile duct cancers and biliary strictures depends on the underlying disease and its stage. Patients may require bile duct surgery, biliary reconstruction, liver resection, pancreatic surgery, endoscopic procedures, stenting, chemotherapy, or liver transplantation in carefully selected situations. Treatment plans are developed by an experienced hepatobiliary multidisciplinary team to achieve the best possible outcomes.

Yes. IHPBLT provides comprehensive pediatric liver care, including pediatric liver transplantation for children with severe liver diseases. The team manages conditions such as biliary atresia, metabolic liver diseases, congenital liver disorders, pediatric liver failure, and other complex pediatric hepatobiliary conditions using specialized surgical techniques and dedicated pediatric transplant care.

Patients choose IHPBLT because it offers comprehensive liver transplant care under one roof with experienced liver transplant surgeons, hepatologists, anesthesiologists, intensivists, oncologists, transplant coordinators, and rehabilitation specialists.
