Dr Subhash Gupta is the chief of liver transplantation, a hepato-pancreato-biliary surgeon, and the chairman of the Max Center of Liver and Biliary Sciences at Max Healthcare, Saket. [1]
Dr. Gupta is accredited all over the world for his leading work in liver transplantation in the Indian subcontinent. [2] He and his team successfully conducted over 2500 liver transplants in 15 years [2], of which 300 were in 2013 [3].
Dr. Gupta joined Sir Ganga Ram Hospital in 1998 and set up liver transplantation operations there along with Dr. Shantanu Nundy. The department conducted the first liver transplant in 2001, using a deceased donor liver.[ citation needed ] Along with Dr. Nundy, he began performing living donor transplantations as the predominant form of liver transplantation. After a slow start, the liver transplantation program took off, with 66 transplants in 2006. [3]
Gupta pioneered the development of living donor liver transplants in India. Previously, patients had to travel abroad at a very high cost to receive this treatment. His surgical techniques have brought costs down to a fraction of what is charged elsewhere, making liver transplants available to patients from India, Africa, the Middle East, and the Far East.
Dr. Gupta is the owner and president of the Center for Liver and Biliary Sciences. In 2013, the team helped other centers within India and abroad set up liver transplantation, including hospitals in Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Kazakhstan. Surgical procedures are complemented by an advanced intervention radiology setup that deals with procedures such as channelization, radiofrequency ablation, and percutaneous alcohol injection into tumor tissue.
The unit has treated patients from all over India as well as patients from the Middle East, Africa, and Southeast Asia. Apart from malignancies, this unit has considerable skills in dealing with the surgical management of all aspects of pancreatitis. Its faculty consists of nationally and internationally known consultants.
Dr. Subhash Gupta completed his undergraduate degree and master's in General surgery from the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi. In 1989, he specialized in surgical gastroenterology. [4] In 1993, he moved to England to work and train under Dr. Paul McMaster in the liver unit at Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham.
In February 1995, he moved to the Department of Organ Transplantation at St James's University Hospital in Leeds, where he later worked as a locum consultant.
During his stay in the UK, Dr. Gupta qualified for Fellowship of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh and of Glasgow. He has published extensively on different aspects of living donor liver transplantation, such as liver transplantation without hepatitis B immunoglobulin prophylaxis and appropriate cytomegalovirus prophylaxis.
He is an Associate Professor in Surgery at the University of Queensland, Australia. The Institute of Postgraduate Education and Medical Research in Kolkata honored him with the position of Professor of Liver Transplantation. He delivered the annual oration at the JIPMER Scientific Society in Puducherry in 2011 and was a recipient of a Gold Medal by the Delhi Medical Association in 2005. He is also on the Board of Management of Mahatma Gandhi Medical College, Mumbai, as a central government nominee.
With the help of the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI) [7 [5] and the Ministry of Health, he led the team to develop standard guidelines for the treatment of liver diseases and liver transplantation in India. This work helped lay down the criteria for the correct management of chronic liver disease and acute liver failure and will help in deciding insurance-related claims.
He has published over 100 papers on surgery and transplantation, along with significant contributions to numerous books in his field. He has focused his clinical and research activities on the medical management of patients with liver diseases. [9] Publications include:
Organ transplantation is a medical procedure in which an organ is removed from one body and placed in the body of a recipient, to replace a damaged or missing organ. The donor and recipient may be at the same location, or organs may be transported from a donor site to another location. Organs and/or tissues that are transplanted within the same person's body are called autografts. Transplants that are recently performed between two subjects of the same species are called allografts. Allografts can either be from a living or cadaveric source.
Liver transplantation or hepatic transplantation is the replacement of a diseased liver with the healthy liver from another person (allograft). Liver transplantation is a treatment option for end-stage liver disease and acute liver failure, although availability of donor organs is a major limitation. The most common technique is orthotopic transplantation, in which the native liver is removed and replaced by the donor organ in the same anatomic position as the original liver. The surgical procedure is complex, requiring careful harvest of the donor organ and meticulous implantation into the recipient. Liver transplantation is highly regulated, and only performed at designated transplant medical centers by highly trained transplant physicians and supporting medical team. The duration of the surgery ranges from 4 to 18 hours depending on outcome. Favorable outcomes require careful screening for eligible recipient, as well as a well-calibrated live or cadaveric donor match.
Cholecystectomy is the surgical removal of the gallbladder. Cholecystectomy is a common treatment of symptomatic gallstones and other gallbladder conditions. In 2011, cholecystectomy was the eighth most common operating room procedure performed in hospitals in the United States. Cholecystectomy can be performed either laparoscopically, or via an open surgical technique.
A Klatskin tumor is a cholangiocarcinoma occurring at the confluence of the right and left hepatic bile ducts. The disease was named after Gerald Klatskin, who in 1965 described 15 cases and found some characteristics for this type of cholangiocarcinoma
Microsurgery is a general term for surgery requiring an operating microscope. The most obvious developments have been procedures developed to allow anastomosis of successively smaller blood vessels and nerves which have allowed transfer of tissue from one part of the body to another and re-attachment of severed parts. Microsurgical techniques are utilized by several specialties today, such as general surgery, ophthalmology, orthopedic surgery, gynecological surgery, otolaryngology, neurosurgery, oral and maxillofacial surgery, plastic surgery, podiatric surgery and pediatric surgery.
Hepatectomy is the surgical resection of the liver. While the term is often employed for the removal of the liver from a liver transplant donor, this article will focus on partial resections of hepatic tissue and hepatoportoenterostomy.
Surgical Outcomes Analysis & Research, SOAR, is a research laboratory of the Department of Surgery at Boston University School of Medicine and Boston Medical Center with expertise in outcomes research. SOAR investigates surgical diseases and perioperative outcomes. The group focuses on pancreatic cancer, other gastrointestinal and hepatobiliary malignancies, vascular disease, and transplant surgery. SOAR's goal is to examine quality, delivery, and financing of care in order to have an immediate impact on patient care and system improvements. The group members utilize national health services and administrative databases, as well as institutional databases, to investigate and to address factors contributing to disease outcomes and healthcare disparities.
Secondary sclerosing cholangitis (SSC) is a chronic cholestatic liver disease. SSC is a sclerosing cholangitis with a known cause. Alternatively, if no cause can be identified, then primary sclerosing cholangitis is diagnosed. SSC is an aggressive and rare disease with complex and multiple causes. It is characterized by inflammation, fibrosis, destruction of the biliary tree and biliary cirrhosis. It can be treated with minor interventions such as continued antibiotic use and monitoring, or in more serious cases, laparoscopic surgery intervention, and possibly a liver transplant.
