Dr A K Bansal is a liver and HPB (hepato-pancreato-biliary) surgeon in Lucknow who takes on the complicated surgical liver cases — liver cancer and tumours, liver resection, liver cysts and abscesses, bile-duct and gallbladder disease, pancreatic tumours. SGPGI-trained with M.Ch Surgical Gastroenterology (All India Rank 1), Ex Senior Consultant — Medanta, HOD GI Surgery at Myra City Hospital. If a scan has shown something in your liver, this is the specialist to see.
"Liver specialist" covers two different doctors, and choosing the right one saves weeks. A hepatologist (DM Hepatology or Gastroenterology) manages liver disease with medicines — hepatitis B and C, early fatty liver, cirrhosis and its complications, liver failure. A liver surgeon (M.Ch Surgical Gastroenterology / HPB) operates: on tumours and cancer, cysts and abscesses, bile ducts, gallbladder and pancreas.
Lists of the "top 10 liver specialists in Lucknow" give you names; these four checks tell you who is right for your problem:
The liver is the body's largest internal organ and one of its most surgically demanding. It is highly vascular, sits close to major blood vessels (portal vein, hepatic artery, IVC), and regenerates on a scale unlike any other organ — which is what makes safe major liver resection possible in the first place. Modern liver surgery depends on three things: accurate preoperative imaging, super-specialty surgical training, and high case volume.
Dr A K Bansal trained in surgical gastroenterology at SGPGI Lucknow — India's premier institute for organ-specific surgical super-specialty training. He completed M.Ch in 2018 with All India Rank 1 in the entrance examination. He has since performed over 5000 GI and HPB surgical procedures, with a focus on hepatobiliary and pancreatic disease.
He runs his private liver surgery practice at Dr Bansal Gastro & Liver Centre in Sector 6 Gomti Nagar Extension, and heads the Department of GI Surgery at Myra City Hospital, Lucknow.
Dr Bansal's liver practice is centred on the cases that need a super-specialist: liver cancer and tumours, liver resection, cysts and abscesses, bile-duct and gallbladder disease, and pancreatic tumours. Straightforward gallbladder surgery is part of the same practice; so is GI cancer surgery when the liver is involved.
A liver surgeon (as distinct from a hepatologist, who manages liver disease medically) is needed when imaging shows a lesion, when there's suspicion of malignancy, or when a known liver condition has reached a stage that needs surgical intervention.

It depends on what your liver needs. For medical liver disease (hepatitis, early fatty liver, cirrhosis management) you need a hepatologist. For anything surgical — liver tumours and cancer, liver resection, cysts, bile-duct and pancreatic disease — you need a liver (HPB) surgeon. Dr A K Bansal is a liver and HPB surgeon in Lucknow: M.Ch Surgical Gastroenterology from SGPGI (All India Rank 1), Ex Senior Consultant at Medanta, Head of GI Surgery at Myra City Hospital, 15+ years and 5000+ GI, liver and HPB surgeries.
A hepatologist diagnoses and medically treats liver disease — viral hepatitis, fatty liver, cirrhosis, liver failure. A liver surgeon operates on the liver and its neighbouring organs — resection for tumours, liver cancer surgery, cysts and abscesses, bile-duct and gallbladder surgery, pancreatic surgery. Many patients see both; the surgeon is the one to see when a scan shows a lesion or a condition has reached the stage that needs an operation.
Yes. Dr A K Bansal takes on the complex surgical liver cases — hepatocellular carcinoma, liver metastases from colorectal and other cancers, benign liver tumours, liver resection (anatomical and non-anatomical), liver cysts including hydatid cysts, liver abscess, gallbladder and bile-duct cancer, and pancreatic tumours including Whipple surgery — as part of a multidisciplinary team.
Check four things: super-specialty training (M.Ch Surgical Gastroenterology or DM Hepatology, not only MS or MD); where they trained (SGPGI, AIIMS and similar institutes run dedicated liver programmes); whether they regularly handle your kind of problem (a tumour needs a surgeon who does resections routinely); and hospital backup (ICU, interventional radiology, blood bank) for the rare complication. Lists of the top 10 liver specialists in Lucknow are useful for names, but these four checks decide the outcome.
Liver surgery is technically demanding because the liver is highly vascular. In experienced HPB hands, modern liver surgery is safe — major liver resection has mortality under 5% in high-volume centres. Outcomes depend strongly on surgeon experience, case volume and hospital backup.
Most early fatty liver disease is reversible through weight loss, blood sugar control, exercise and treatment of associated metabolic conditions. Advanced fatty liver with fibrosis or cirrhosis needs specialist evaluation. Dr A K Bansal provides surgical evaluation for fatty liver complications and bariatric metabolic surgery where indicated.

My mother had sludge and stones in her gall bladder, which Sir removed very well through laparoscopy. Best 10 on 10...
I had my mother and sister undergo surgery within a week of each other. Both surgeries were successful and went very well. They were sent home four days after the surgery. Both are now doing well at this time. My mother operation was on 27 april 2026 and my sister operation was on 8 may 2026.
My patient was admitted in Swikriti Hospital under Dr. Ashish Kumar Bansal Sir and my patient was suffering from appendix problem, so I showed my brother to Dr. Ashish Kumar Bansal Sir and told him about the surgery, I got my brother's surgery done by him and now my patient is completely fine. Thank you Dr. Ashish Kumar Bansal Sir.
My wife was suffering from cholelithiasis with irregular gall bladder wall thickening and loss of planes with adjacent liver parenchyma & duodenum associated with mild IHBRD. The operation was done by Dr. Ashish Kumar Bansal and the operation was successful. I am satisfied and happy for this surgery and say thank you 🙏 to Dr. Ashish sir — he operated very smoothly.
