Quick Answer

What is Pediatric Liver Transplantation?

Pediatric liver transplantation replaces a child's failing liver with a whole, reduced or living-donor graft when hepatology and a paediatric ICU already agree that medical therapy is not enough. The native liver is removed and a size-matched graft is implanted, often with microvascular arterial anastomosis and Roux biliary reconstruction. Paediatric ICU monitoring follows.

City context

Why patients consider Chennai for Surgical Gastroenterology

Chennai has the longest-established international-patient corridor of the five cities, and named esophageal-cancer surgery listings at MGM Healthcare (Dr. Manikandan Venkatasubramaniyan, Dr. S. Srivishnu) and Rela Hospital (Dr. P. Saravanan). Listed surgical-oncology campuses also include Gleneagles HealthCity. Interpreters and visa-extension paperwork are ordinary desk work. Heat from April onward is the trade-off for a three-week ICU-to-hotel recovery.

Chennai has the longest-established international-patient corridor of the five cities, and named gastric-cancer surgery listings at Rela Hospital (Dr. P. Saravanan), MGM Healthcare (Dr. Sivaram Ganesamoni) and Gleneagles HealthCity (Dr. Vimalathithan S). Interpreters and visa-extension paperwork are ordinary desk work. Heat from April onward is the trade-off for a two-week recovery.

Listed Chennai campuses on the surgical-oncology pathway include Gleneagles HealthCity, MGM Healthcare and Rela Hospital. Named esophageal-cancer surgery consultants currently sit at MGM and Rela. Accreditation is on each profile as published.

Ask each house whether Ivor Lewis, McKeown, transhiatal or MIE is offered for your tumour, how many ICU nights are named, and how leaks are billed.

Chennai International to the listed campuses is the least punishing transfer of the five cities in ordinary traffic.

Interpreters for Sri Lankan, Bangladeshi and some African languages are easier to source on this corridor. Still ask.

Airport transfers are the shortest of the five cities — typically 20 to 50 minutes. That helps a companion doing twice-daily ICU visits more than a one-night admission. Air-conditioned lodging next to the campus is part of the medical plan in summer, not a luxury line.

★★★★★

Initially I was very hesitant what to do, where to go for the treatment of my father who was suffering with prostate cancer. Thanks to google, I came into touch with Gaf Healthcare. They have arranged everything, starting from treatment plan, video consultation, airport pickup, to surgery and following up. My father was operated in Sahyadri Pune, robotic prostatectomy was done. Now he is fine.
