Liver & Pancreatic Surgery in Lucknow
Surgery of the liver, pancreas and bile ducts is among the most demanding in all of medicine, requiring specialist hepatopancreatobiliary (HPB) training and a high-volume centre. Dr Sandeep Kumar Verma offers advanced liver and pancreatic surgery in Lucknow within Medanta's fully supported surgical programme.
These operations are planned meticulously, with high-quality imaging and multidisciplinary input, and delivered with intensive-care and interventional-radiology backup on site.
In short
Liver and pancreatic (hepatopancreatobiliary) surgery in Lucknow is performed by Dr Sandeep Kumar Verma at Medanta, Lucknow. He performs the Whipple's procedure, liver resection, distal pancreatectomy and bile-duct surgery for tumours, pancreatitis and biliary disorders — increasingly on a fully robotic platform within a multidisciplinary HPB team.
Procedures offered
Dr Verma manages both cancerous and benign HPB conditions with the full range of modern surgical techniques.
- Liver resection for primary liver cancer, metastases and benign tumours
- Whipple's procedure (pancreaticoduodenectomy) for pancreatic and periampullary cancer

A centre-based, team approach
HPB surgery outcomes depend heavily on the experience of both the surgeon and the centre. Operating within a hospital that offers advanced imaging, endoscopy (ERCP/EUS), interventional radiology and a dedicated intensive-care unit allows complex cases to be managed safely from diagnosis through recovery.

Liver & Pancreatic Surgery: common questions
Is the Whipple's procedure very risky?
Whipple's surgery is major, but in experienced hands and a high-volume centre it is performed safely with good outcomes. The key to safety is specialist HPB expertise and a hospital equipped to support complex recovery — exactly the setting in which Dr Verma operates.
How much of the liver can be removed safely?
The liver has a remarkable ability to regenerate. A large portion can be removed safely, and the remaining liver grows back over the following weeks, provided enough healthy tissue is left. Careful pre-operative assessment ensures this is the case.
Do all pancreatic problems need surgery?
No. Many pancreatic and bile-duct conditions are managed medically or endoscopically. Surgery is recommended selectively — for tumours, certain cysts, and complications of pancreatitis — after careful assessment.
