Medical term: Liver resection or hepatectomy
Already chosen your hepatobiliary surgeon in Mumbai or Navi Mumbai to review your proposed liver tumour surgery (liver resection / hepatectomy)? When you cannot attend yourself, Redwood organises your existing records and questions, takes the case to that doctor and shares their recommendations.

Understand the procedure
What is liver tumour surgery (liver resection / hepatectomy)?
Liver resection removes the part of the liver containing a tumour. The plan depends on the tumour type and position, any disease elsewhere, and the health and amount of liver that would remain.
This is general procedure information. Your chosen doctor assesses what applies to you.

Questions for your chosen doctor
Choose the questions that matter to your situation. We record them in your own words and take them to the consultation.
- What is the tumour diagnosis, and what supports surgery for it?
- How much liver would remain, and is its function adequate?
- Would ablation, drug treatment or a staged approach be appropriate?
- How do cirrhosis, hepatitis or cancer elsewhere affect the recommendation?
Your existing case file
Records to organise
We organise the liver ct or mri reports and images alongside your treatment history and the written procedure recommendation. We note what you want the hepatobiliary surgeon to clarify and keep the original reports available for the consultation.
Share the records you already have. This is a document checklist, not a request for new tests.
Bring together what is available
- Liver CT or MRI reports and images
- Biopsy or previous tumour pathology where available
- Liver-function, clotting and relevant tumour-marker results
- Hepatitis, cirrhosis and previous cancer-treatment records
- Your written procedure recommendation, current prescriptions and allergy details
