About CLBS
Centre for Liver and Biliary Sciences (CLBS) at Max Super Specialty Hospital, Saket is one of the largest liver transplant programs in the world. The centre performs more than 250 liver transplants annually and has accumulated an experience of more than 3500 liver transplant surgeries. The centre also performs variety of complex hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgeries and is at the forefront of HPB Oncology.
We as a team of surgeons, anaesthetists, intensivists, radiologists and nurses have been involved in the care of the patients with liver disease and transplantation since 1998, when liver transplantation was a rarity in India. The centre has been growing ever since and has made significant contributions to the field of liver surgery. It has been a great accomplishment of the team to have trained many aspiring liver surgeons and has helped in establishing various liver transplant units across the globe. Many teams including the teams from USA, Malaysia, Kenya, Kazakhstan, Myanmar, Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh have been trained. Such teams from India also have been encouraged notably from the centres like ILBS New Delhi, SMS Medical college Jaipur, Cuttack Medical College, Bangalore Medical College and King George's Medical University Lucknow. It gives a great pride to know that many of our trainees have continue the work in the field of liver and transplant surgery and have established themselves across the world.
CLBS has been involved in care of patients from over 20 countries. It is a special place to many as it offers world class facilities and treatment options at par with best international centres anywhere , but at a much affordable cost and with consistent results. Over the years the team has pioneered in Living Donor Liver Transplantation and HPB Oncology in India and has introduced a numerous innovations to make the surgery safe and to improve the outcomes of these complex procedures.
CLBS has always focussed greatly in training the next generations and impart knowledge and hold a platform to exchange information and share experiences with one another. With an aim to encourage and bring all the people involved in this field , our constant effort has been to expand this platform to invite scientists, physicians, surgeons, and trainees to participate in these annual conferences, which has been extending its reach every year. The COVID pandemic has affected all of us in many ways, but we still would like to continue our pursuit of knowledge and play our role in bringing the transplant community together.
The 8th CLBS Symposium is being held from 16th to 18th Sepetember,2022 and the theme of this year’s scientific meeting is “HPB Oncology and Liver Transplantation has assumed a pivotal role in the management of hepatocellular cancer, few biliary cancers and liver metastases from non – hepatobiliary malignancies. As such, topics related to HPB oncology and role of liver transplant would be discussed in details, along with emphasis on down staging and management of recurrences. The sessions have been planned in a manner to promote close interaction and exchange of ideas between liver transplant surgeons, hepatologist, and oncologist, that would ultimately benefit the medical field. We have invited leaders and eminent people in their respective field and we hope this symposium would be a great platform to learn from their experience.
