Surgery isn’t static. Techniques evolve. Data changes. Outcomes improve when we’re willing to question what we already know.
Back at SCB, the conversation was about real surgical judgement — the kind you don’t find in textbooks.
At the IMA liver meet, it was about discussing complex cases and refining operative strategies.
At LTSICON in Delhi, it was about transplant decisions, timing, and improving survival curves.
Operating well is not just about steady hands.
It’s about staying updated, reviewing evidence, and constantly refining technique.
Because in surgery, precision isn’t optional.
It’s responsibility.

Many patients don’t have a suitable living donor. That’s where deceased organ donation becomes life-saving.Have the conversation at home. It matters more than people think. One donor can help multiple lives.
If liver transplant is on your mind (or your family’s), save this series.

Not all “don’t reheat this” advice on the internet is true.
But some reheating habits can genuinely increase the risk of food poisoning.
The real issue isn’t reheating.
It’s how the food was stored before reheating.
Rice, dal, curries, paneer — all can be safely reheated if:
• They were refrigerated within 1–2 hours
• Stored below 5°C
• Reheated thoroughly (steaming hot, not just warm)
• Not reheated multiple times
The biggest risk?
Improperly stored rice — because certain bacteria can survive cooking and multiply if left at room temperature.
Food safety is about temperature control. Not panic.
Save this. Share this with someone who reheats leftovers daily.
Your gut will thank you.

We speak about “Allocations” and “Lists,” but the hard reality is that deceased donors in India are scarce.
While the legal system ensures fair allocation for cadaver livers, the wait can sometimes be too long for a critical patient.
This is why we often suggest a Living Related Donor. It puts the control back in your hands. It allows us to schedule the surgery before the patient becomes too weak , and the liver regenerates in the donor within weeks.
Waiting for an organ is an option. But a family donor is often the safest option.

Small infections can turn big early on.
The first few weeks matter the most: regular labs, medication levels, hygiene, and close follow-ups. This phase protects the new liver while your body adjusts.

A liver transplant success is never one person’s achievement. It’s what happens when an entire hospital ecosystem moves with one goal: give someone a real second chance.
marks a defining milestone in advanced liver care celebrating the successful ex*****on of liver transplants. This is a tribute to what it takes to make a high-acuity programme deliver consistently: clinical leadership, multidisciplinary alignment, rigorous protocols and a team that shows up with the best of the best standards every single time.
Grateful to my seniors, mentors and colleagues for the guidance that shaped every step. Grateful to the Apollo Bhubaneswar leadership for backing the vision and building the systems needed for a transplant programme to run right.
And most importantly, deep respect for donor families who choose life for someone else in the middle of their own loss, and gratitude to patients and caregivers who place their trust in us during their hardest days.
To every team that makes this possible — thank you. This work is only possible because you show up, every time.
Sharing this milestone with humility and with hope that it reaches a family who needs it.

This isn’t about good vs bad food. It’s about frequency, load, and timing. The three things that decide whether an organ adapts or gets stressed.
Most food damage doesn’t announce itself with pain. It shows up as rising liver fat, worsening acidity, insulin resistance, poor immunity, disturbed sleep or a gut that just doesn’t feel right anymore.
A soda once in a while won’t harm you. A habit will.
If a food repeatedly stresses the same organ, the problem isn’t the food, it’s the pattern.
Save this post, audit your daily habits, and make one small switch this week.

Some patients stop meds because they fear “long-term medicines.” But immunosuppression is what keeps the new liver accepted. The smart approach is not stopping, it’s monitoring: sugars, BP, kidney function, drug levels, infection signs.
If you’re on transplant meds, ask your team: “What labs do I need monthly?” Get a simple checklist.

Cancer prevention starts in your kitchen & daily habits 🛡️✨
India faces alarming cancer rates, but small lifestyle shifts can be powerful weapons.
✅ Eat anti-cancer foods like turmeric, cruciferous veggies, and vitamin D-rich meals
✅ Practice intermittent fasting to boost cell clean-up
✅ Avoid ultra-processed foods, stay active, and get daily sunlight
Your health is built by what you do every single day — make it count 💛
“1 in 9 lifetime risk” is reported in Indian cancer incidence estimates. ([PMC][1])
Curcumin absorption increasing with piperine has human pharmacokinetic evidence (classic study). ([thieme-connect.com][2])
Most people think life becomes “limited” after transplant.
Reality is that with the right timing + follow-up, many return to routine life step by step.
Recovery is structured, not mysterious.
If liver transplant is on your mind (or your family’s), save this series.
