Finding the best liver transplant surgeon in India requires careful evaluation of training, experience, case complexity, and patient outcomes.

Specialisations That Set Dr. Bojanapu Apart
Living Donor Liver Transplant (LDLT)
Dr. Bojanapu is highly experienced in LDLT — both adult-to-adult and paediatric recipient cases. LDLT is the dominant form of liver transplant in India and requires the highest surgical precision to protect both donor and recipient. His LDLT programme at Dhaara Speciality Hospital follows internationally benchmarked protocols with excellent outcomes.
Paediatric Liver Transplant
Children with biliary atresia, metabolic liver disease, or acute liver failure require specialist expertise that very few Indian liver transplant surgeons possess. Dr. Bojanapu performs left lateral segment LDLT for children — a technically demanding procedure requiring modified surgical technique and precise volumetric planning.
ABO-Incompatible Liver Transplant
When no compatible blood-group donor is available, ABO-incompatible (ABO-i) transplant becomes a lifesaving option. Dr. Bojanapu is one of the few liver transplant surgeons in India who regularly performs ABO-i transplants using desensitisation protocols, giving hope to patients who would otherwise have no donor options.
Robotic Liver Surgery
For liver resections and living donor hepatectomies, Dr. Bojanapu utilises robotic-assisted surgery — offering precision, reduced blood loss, and faster recovery compared to open surgery. This is particularly valuable for donor safety in LDLT, minimising donor morbidity.
Laparoscopic HPB Surgery
Complex laparoscopic liver resections, bile duct reconstructions, and pancreatic surgeries form a core part of Dr. Bojanapu’s practice — enabling patients to recover faster and return to normal life sooner.
Whipple Procedure (Pancreaticoduodenectomy)
For pancreatic cancer and periampullary tumours, Dr. Bojanapu performs the Whipple procedure — one of the most complex abdominal operations in surgery. His outcomes in pancreatic surgery are benchmarked against national and international standards.
Patient Outcomes
The hallmark of the best liver transplant surgeon in India is not just credentials but proven patient outcomes. Dr. Bojanapu’s programme at Dhaara Speciality Hospital maintains:
- 1-year patient survival: 85–92%
- 5-year patient survival: 75–80%
- Donor morbidity: minimal; all donors return to full activity within 8 weeks
- Re-operation rate: below national average
