Why Do I Need Liver Cancer Surgery?

It’s typically needed to remove cancerous tissue from the liver when it’s detected early or to manage symptoms in advanced cases. Surgery aims to eliminate the tumor and prevent the cancer from spreading to other organs, improving survival rates. Your doctor will recommend it based on the tumor’s size, location, and your liver’s overall health.

How Do They Do It?

Pre-Surgical Assessment

Imaging tests like CT or MRI pinpoint the tumor’s location and size.

Anesthesia

General anesthesia ensures you’re asleep and pain-free during surgery.

Surgical Procedure

Surgeons may remove part of the liver (hepatectomy) or perform a liver transplant in severe cases.

Closing & Recovery

The incision is stitched closed, followed by hospital monitoring for recovery.

The procedure can take 2-6 hours, depending on complexity. Your surgeon will provide detailed specifics during your consultation.

What Could Go Wrong?

Liver cancer surgery is safe with experienced surgeons, but risks include:

Infection at the surgical site

Excessive bleeding

Liver function issues

Blood clots

Serious complications occur in less than 5% of cases. SB Medical Travels partners with top hospitals to minimize risks and optimize outcomes.

How Do I Get Ready?

Preparation is key for a successful surgery and recovery:

Before Surgery:

  • Fast for 8-12 hours prior if under general anesthesia

  • Review medications with your doctor; some may need adjustment

  • Pack loose, comfortable clothing for your hospital stay

  • Arrange for a companion to assist you post-surgery

SB Medical Travels provides a detailed pre-surgery checklist and personalized guidance throughout the process.

How Long Until I'm Back to Normal?

Recovery Timeline:

1
Hospital Stay

3-7 days depending on the surgery type. Partial hepatectomy may require less time than a transplant.

2
First Week

Focus on rest. Limited activity and pain management with medication.

3
2-6 Weeks

Gradual increase in light activities. Avoid heavy lifting or strenuous exercise.

4
6-12 Weeks

Most patients resume normal routines. Full recovery depends on liver regeneration.

Our team coordinates your recovery, including follow-ups and support services as needed.

Does It Hurt?

Pain management is a priority during and after liver cancer surgery:

During Surgery

You’ll be under general anesthesia, so no pain is felt during the procedure.

Immediately After

Expect soreness and discomfort around the incision. Pain relief is provided.

Recovery Period

Pain reduces within days. Most switch to mild painkillers within 1-2 weeks.

Long-Term

Some may feel mild discomfort as the liver heals. Therapy can assist if needed.

Our partner hospitals ensure effective pain management, and we’ll support your recovery comfort.
