A healthy relative aged 18–55 with a compatible blood group, no major illness and adequate liver volume on CT. Donors are protected by law and ethics-committee review, and the donor liver regrows to full size in 6–8 weeks.

No. Hemangiomas and FNH are common benign lesions that usually need only observation. A triple-phase CT or MRI and, rarely, a biopsy settle the diagnosis.

It removes the head of the pancreas, duodenum, bile duct and gallbladder, then reconnects the digestive system. It is the only curative operation for cancers in this region.

Yes, when it is confined to the gallbladder wall or nearby liver and is removed completely with clear margins and lymph nodes. Early-stage disease has good long-term survival; outcomes fall sharply if the operation is incomplete or delayed.

Early tumours and many locally advanced tumours are curable with combined chemoradiotherapy and complete surgery. The chance of cure depends mainly on the stage at diagnosis — do not wait if swallowing is getting harder.

Early and locally advanced stomach cancer is curable with complete surgery and chemotherapy. Outcomes are best when treatment starts soon after diagnosis.

For most colon and upper rectal cancers, no. Even for low rectal cancers, robotic sphincter-saving surgery avoids a permanent bag in the majority of patients.

Small stones with a normal duct are often removed by ERCP, followed by gallbladder surgery. Large or multiple stones, or a failed ERCP, are cleared surgically in one operation.

Patients with proven GERD who need daily PPIs, have a hiatus hernia, or whose symptoms return whenever medicine stops. Surgery is not for occasional heartburn.

Tablets rarely dissolve gallstones and they return once stopped. If your stones are causing pain, infection, pancreatitis or jaundice, surgery is the recommended cure. Silent stones found by chance may only need observation — Dr Gupta will tell you honestly which group you are in.

No. Belts and exercises may ease discomfort but the defect remains. Surgery with mesh is the only cure and is best done before the hernia enlarges or becomes stuck.

In selected early cases antibiotics can settle the attack, but it recurs in a large share of patients. Surgery remains the definitive treatment and avoids the risk of rupture.

No. Most early piles settle with high-fibre diet, fluids and medicines. Surgery is advised only for persistent bleeding, prolapse or large piles.
