Summary
A large liver tumour resected with clear margins while preserving enough healthy liver to recover fully.
- Procedure
- Liver Resection
- Organ
- Liver
- 01
Presentation
A patient with vague upper-abdomen discomfort and a mass found on a routine scan, referred for an opinion on whether surgery was even possible.
- 02
Investigations
Triple-phase CT and MRI mapped the tumour, its relationship to major vessels, and confirmed enough healthy liver remained.
- 03
Findings
A large tumour occupied one side of the liver but spared the key vessels — making a complete, curative resection feasible in expert hands.
- 04
Strategy
A planned anatomical liver resection was chosen to remove the tumour with a clear margin while preserving maximal healthy liver.
- 05
Procedure
The affected liver segment was removed with meticulous control of blood vessels, achieving a complete resection with clear margins.
- 06
Outcome
The patient recovered well; the liver regenerates, restoring near-normal function over the following weeks.
- 07
Follow-up
Enrolled in a structured surveillance and recovery programme with the multidisciplinary team.
What this case teaches
A "large" liver tumour is not automatically inoperable — careful planning often makes a curative, safe resection possible.

WHY DWARIKA HOSPITALABOUT THE HOSPITAL
Four promises.
One standard.
What every patient can expect here — from the first call to the last follow-up.
01.
Super-specialist led
Surgery here is performed by MCh-qualified surgical gastroenterologists, not general surgeons operating outside their specialty.
02.
Keyhole by default
Laparoscopic and scarless techniques are the standard approach, reserving open surgery for cases that genuinely need it.
03.
One team, one plan
Diagnosis, surgery, nutrition and follow-up sit under one roof — you are not handed between disconnected clinics.
04.
Counselling before consent
Every patient is told what the operation can and cannot achieve, with costs stated upfront, before anything is scheduled.
