Liver Transplantation
Simply put, Liver Transplantation is an operation in which the diseased liver is removed and replaced with a healthy liver. We perform liver transplantation for adults as well as children and both live related donor as well as cadaver donor liver transplant. The common indications for liver transplant, in adults are cirrhosis, acute liver failure or liver cancer, and in children are developmental problems of the bile ducts (biliary atresia). Our doctors have been part of several innovative procedures such as domino, swap & ABO incompatible liver transplants and multiorgan transplants such as liver & kidney transplant, kidney & pancreas and multiorgan transplants such as liver & kidney Transplant and Kidney & pancreas Transplants


Hepato- Pancreatic Biliary (HPB) Surgery & GI Oncology
Hepato- Pancreatic Biliary (HPB) Surgery is complex. However, we at SCOT are committed to excel in providing current standard of care diagnostic and therapeutic options for patients with HPB diseases. Out Team specialises in surgical treatment of benign conditions as well as malignant disorders of the liver, bile ducts, gall bladder and pancreas.

Acute Liver failure
Acute liver failure (ALF) is a serious condition requiring intensive monitoring and urgent specialist care and which untreated is almost always fatal. At SCOT have established a dedicated ALF service for rapid response, stabilization and supervised transportation of these patients to our centre.
