A Message from Organizing Chairman
It is a matter of great pleasure for me to invite you to the first annual meeting of the LiverTalkx series being organized at Hyderabad. STAR LIVERTALKX 2025 will be a two-day program tailored for trainees, general physicians, gastroenterologists, GI surgeons, hepatologists, and transplant surgeons involved in the care of patients with liver disease.
Liver Transplantation is now an established treatment in India and the volume of activity continues to increase. This also means that increasingly sicker and more medically complicated patients are being considered for transplantation. Recognition of important pre-operative problems, assessment of risk and optimization are essential for good post-transplant outcomes.
The two-day program will bring together highly experienced national and international faculty who will provide practical strategies and solutions to manage medical, surgical, immunological and critical care problems in a potential recipient. The program is planned as a series of short lectures and case discussions to stimulate discussion and increase our collective breadth and depth of knowledge. I invite you all to the city of pearls to listen to these pearls of wisdom from our expert faculty.
