Dr. Prashant Kadam is a trusted expert in liver surgery, performing safe and effective resections for tumours and liver cancer. Whether it is liver tumour surgery, partial hepatectomy or complex liver procedures, he ensures safe, precise and effective care personalised to each patient’s health condition.
Liver conditions can be life-threatening and timely surgical intervention through liver resection surgery improves outcomes and overall survival. Dr. Prashant Kadam’s experience combines with modern techniques to provide expert liver surgical care. Patients undergoing advanced liver cancer surgery in India receive carefully planned treatment supported by precise surgical execution and structured follow-up care. He is recognised as one of the best liver transplant doctors in India due to his expertise in advanced liver resections and complex hepatobiliary surgery.
The liver resection surgery is recommended for patients suffering from the following conditions:
Dr. Prashant Kadam utilises a combination of doctor check-ups, scans, blood tests and overall health as well as an evaluation of the patient’s health and illness, to make an informed decision as to whether liver resection surgery is the most needed treatment for the condition. Early identification of surgical eligibility helps avoid disease progression and supports better recovery after surgery.
Surgery Type | Segments Removed (Couinaud) | Purpose / When Used | Key Considerations |
Right Hepatectomy | V, VI, VII, VIII | Tumours mainly in the right hemiliver | Standard major resection; good regeneration if remnant adequate |
Left Hepatectomy | II, III, IV | Tumours mainly in the left hemiliver | Generally lower risk than right-sided major resections |
Extended Right Hepatectomy | IV, V, VI, VII, VIII | Large/multiple tumours in the right + segment IV | More extensive; often needs pre-op embolisation; higher risk |
Extended Left Hepatectomy | II, III, IV, V, VIII (± I) | Extensive left-dominant or central tumors | Complex; major vascular involvement; used in specialised cases |
Left Lateral Sectionectomy (Bisegmentectomy 2,3) | II, III | Small/peripheral tumours in the left lateral section | Minor procedure; often minimally invasive; quick recovery |
Segmentectomy (Anatomical) | One or more specific segments | Targeted tumour in specific segment(s); good for cirrhosis/multifocal | Maximises healthy tissue preservation; ideal for limited function |
Non-anatomical Resection (Wedge) | Does not remove any complete functional Couinaud segments | Small/superficial/peripheral tumours | Minimises tissue loss; faster/safer in poor liver function |

Dr. Prashant Kadam structures each liver resection surgery with great attention to detail to achieve safe removals, avoid complications and achieve fast recovery for patients undergoing the surgery.
The type of surgery that a patient needs depends on the location, size and number of tumours in the liver. Dr Prashant Kadam performs all the surgeries, whether it is an open technique or minimally invasive techniques which include robotic surgery. Advanced surgical methods used in liver cancer surgery in India allow precise tumour removal while preserving maximum healthy liver tissue.
Surgeons study imaging scans in detail before surgery to understand the exact size, location and spread of the disease. The primary goal remains focused on the complete removal of diseased tissue while protecting as much healthy liver as possible to support proper liver function and recovery.
Key steps include:
Modern techniques support accuracy and faster recovery and minimally invasive methods are used when suitable.
If you have a diagnosed liver tumour, liver cancer or ongoing liver-related symptoms, consulting an experienced liver surgeon is essential. Dr. Prashant Kadam evaluates each case carefully, recommends the best surgical approach and guides patients through every step of treatment and recovery.
