Multidisciplinary clinic brings hepatologists, HPB surgeons, interventional radiologists, and oncologists under one roof to streamline evaluation, reduce delays, and deliver clear treatment roadmaps.
BENGALURU, INDIA – August 27, 2026 — Gleneagles BGS Hospital, Kengeri, Bengaluru (part of the Fortis Healthcare Network), has announced the launch of Karnataka’s first dedicated Liver Nodule Clinic. The specialized center brings together experts across multiple medical disciplines to provide coordinated evaluation, precise diagnosis, and individualized treatment planning for patients presenting with liver nodules or lesions.
Every year, thousands of patients are diagnosed with liver nodules—frequently discovered incidentally during routine health check-ups or ultrasound scans for unrelated conditions. While many of these lesions are benign, others require immediate intervention or strict monitoring. Without a structured protocol, patients often navigate a complex healthcare Web: jumping between multiple specialists, undergoing repeated scans, facing delayed diagnoses, and experiencing severe emotional distress.
The newly established Liver Nodule Clinic eliminates fragmented care by embedding a multidisciplinary team into the patient’s very first consultation. Under this integrated model, each case is collectively reviewed by a panel comprising hepatologists, HPB and liver transplant surgeons, gastroenterologists, interventional radiologists, surgical oncologists, diagnostic radiologists, pathologists, and clinical nutritionists. The clinic centrally coordinates all appointments, advanced imaging, and follow-up care, ensuring a seamless experience under one roof.
The clinic handles a wide spectrum of liver conditions, ranging from benign liver cysts, hemangiomas, focal nodular hyperplasia, and hepatic adenomas to indeterminate lesions, primary liver cancers, metastatic tumors, complex hepatic malignancies, and pre-transplant evaluations.
Highlighting the clinical need for early collaboration, Dr. Adarsh C. K., HOD & Senior Consultant – Medical Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Advanced Endoscopy, stated:
“Liver nodules and cysts are increasingly detected incidentally due to the widespread use of routine imaging. While many are completely harmless, some signal underlying liver disease or early-stage liver cancer, making precise assessment critical. The primary challenge lies in distinguishing which nodules demand immediate intervention versus those that can be safely monitored. Our clinic brings specialists together from day one, enabling faster diagnoses and providing patients with a transparent roadmap.”
Addressing the surgical and intervention process, Dr. Mahesh Gopasetty, HOD & Lead Consultant – Liver Transplant & HPB Surgery, emphasized:
“When a nodule requires intervention, timing and precision are paramount. Deciding between surgery, non-invasive therapies, or observation depends not just on the size of the lesion, but on overall liver function and patient health. Through unified multidisciplinary evaluation, we comprehensively assess each case upfront, identifying ideal candidates for early intervention while preventing unnecessary surgeries when conservative management is appropriate.”
Underscoring the facility’s mission, Mr. Ravi Bagali, COO of Gleneagles BGS Hospital, Kengeri, added:
“The launch of Karnataka’s first dedicated Liver Nodule Clinic reflects our continuous dedication to patient-centric, evidence-based healthcare. By developing specialized programs that simplify complex medical pathways, we ensure our patients gain direct access to top-tier expertise, leading to better clinical outcomes and a less stressful care experience.”
The clinic was formally inaugurated by its core multidisciplinary team, including Dr. Adarsh C. K., Dr. Mahesh Gopasetty, Dr. Dharma Kumar K. G., Dr. Sindhu V. A., Dr. Naveen Chandrashekhar, Dr. Ravindra Nidoni, Dr. Vinay Kumar B. R., Dr. Manish Joshi, Dr. Jeevan G. M., and Dr. Sanjeev Shetty.
