1. A large liver tumour removed completely
શું મોટી લિવર ગાંઠ પણ ઓપરેશનથી સંપૂર્ણ કાઢી શકાય?
A patient with a large (about 14 cm) but solitary liver cancer, good liver function and no spread underwent complete surgical removal with clear margins. A large liver tumour is not automatically inoperable — with good liver function it can often be completely removed.
2. Liver cancer caught early on surveillance of chronic liver disease
क्या पुरानी लिवर की बीमारी में कैंसर समय पर पकड़ा जा सकता है?
A patient with chronic liver disease (hepatitis) had a liver cancer detected during regular monitoring. Because it was found early, it was completely removed with clear margins and negative nodes. Regular monitoring of chronic liver disease helps catch liver cancer at a treatable stage.
3. Robotic (doorbeen) liver surgery for a small tumour
A man in his 70s with cirrhosis had a small (about 2.7 cm) liver cancer. It was removed by a robotic (doorbeen) minimally-invasive operation, with discharge in about six days. Robotic liver surgery means small incisions and a faster recovery.
4. Advanced age is not automatically a barrier
क्या बड़ी उम्र में भी लिवर कैंसर का ऑपरेशन संभव है?
A man in his 70s had a liver cancer confined to one area of the liver. It was removed surgically and he remains on regular follow-up. Advanced age alone is not a barrier — with a confined tumour and adequate liver function, complete removal is possible.
Frequently asked questions
Is a large liver tumour always inoperable?
No. If liver function is good and the tumour is confined, even a large liver cancer can often be completely removed.
Can liver surgery be minimally-invasive?
Yes — in selected patients, robotic (doorbeen) liver resection uses small incisions with a faster recovery.
