Achievements

CLBS, Max Super Speciality Hospital, Saket, conducted more than 300 Liver transplants in 2013, making it the only Centre in India to have done that. This means that 600 major liver surgeries, each lasting 12 to 16 hours, were conducted in 2013, not including more than a hundred other complicated major non-transplant operations on the liver, bile duct , and pancreas.

While this is a remarkable milestone for the entire CLBS team, it has been a journey of unwavering commitment. Every day, the team ensures that every patient and donor receives the best possible treatment and the individualized care and attention they came to CLBS for.

No other Centre in the world has yet completed more than 300 Living Donor Liver Transplants in a year.

Mentoring Hospitals across the world

CLBS is committed to developing Liver Transplant programs in different centres worldwide. Only then can every patient with liver disease have access to transplant facilities.

Dr. Subhash Gupta, a leading figure in the field, has played a pivotal role as a mentor in CLBS's efforts to guide surgeons in liver transplant programs. His expertise and dedication have been instrumental in our work with hospitals in Pakistan, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Cambodia , Kazakhstan, and India.

CLBS Group Introduced “Low-Cost Transplant Techniques”

Transplant cannot be considered the standard of care for patients with liver diseases if its cost is prohibitive. For any treatment to be effective, it must also be affordable for patients.

This has been an important driving force behind many research activities spearheaded by Dr Subhash Gupta. Patient safety, along with affordability, has been the motto of our research. This has enabled us to bring down the cost of liver transplant has come down from 24 lacs to 19 lacs. The group published its low cost transplant techniques in the prestigious international journal titled ‘Liver Transplantation’.

Swap Transplants, Sequential Liver Kidney Transplant for High Risk Recipients

Imagine a father needing a combined liver & kidney transplant, a son being the liver donor, the daughter being the kidney donor, and the mother taking on the unenviable role of sole caregiver for all three: What a difficult time for the entire family!

The Centre for Liver and Biliary Sciences has now standardized sequential Liver kidney transplants for these patients (first liver, then kidney transplant at a later date). It has been a big relief for families, as they no longer need family members to undergo major operations simultaneously.
