Liver resection Cost in India

The cost of Liver resection in India typically ranges from $500 to $6,000 USD, depending on the hospital, city, and type of procedure.

Liver resection (hepatectomy) removes part of the liver, usually to treat cancer. The cost depends on:

• Amount of liver removed
• Approach: open, keyhole or robotic.
• Preparation: such as portal vein embolisation.
• Intensive care and stay

Major liver surgery with intensive care may cost more than this range. Ask what is included.

Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust says the most common reason is cancer that has spread to the liver from the bowel. It is also used for primary liver and bile duct cancers, and occasionally for benign conditions.

The Oxford leaflet explains that the body can cope with removal of up to two-thirds of the liver. The remaining liver regrows to near-normal size within about three months. If too little would remain, portal vein embolisation may be used first.

Oxford reports a mortality of 1 to 2% at specialist centres, and about 1 in 6 people need a blood transfusion. Most go home 3 to 7 days after surgery, and return to normal activities after 2 to 3 months.
