Medanta Gurgaon is the original Medanta campus, in Sector 38 on the southern edge of the National Capital Region. This page looks at it from one angle in particular: the transplant and heart programmes that most patients actually travel for, and what a family from Bengaluru needs to arrange to use them.
The campus is organised as institutes with their own theatres and intensive care. Two of them dominate the referral load. The Institute of Liver Transplantation runs one of the largest living donor liver transplant programmes anywhere, and the Heart Institute, led from the start by a cardiac surgeon, performs the full range of adult and paediatric cardiac surgery.
Liver transplant: what the process actually involves
India performs living donor liver transplant far more often than deceased donor transplant, which means the operation depends on finding a suitable relative. Expect the sequence to run roughly like this: recipient assessment with imaging and blood work, identification of a donor with a compatible blood group and adequate liver volume, donor assessment including imaging and psychological evaluation, statutory authorisation committee approval, then two simultaneous operations.
The part families underestimate is the approval stage. Documentation proving the relationship, and for foreign nationals embassy attestation, takes weeks rather than days, and no hospital can shorten it. Start collecting documents before you leave Bengaluru, not after you arrive.
Ask for the donor work-up cost separately from the recipient package, ask what happens financially if the donor is rejected on assessment, and ask for the unit's one-year survival figures for both recipients and donors.
Cardiac care at Medanta Gurgaon
The heart programme covers angioplasty and complex coronary intervention, bypass grafting including off-pump surgery, valve repair and replacement, aortic root and arch surgery, arrhythmia ablation, device implantation and paediatric congenital repair. For a patient weighing options, the questions that matter are the surgeon's annual volume of your specific operation, whether valve repair rather than replacement is possible in your case, and what the intensive care assumption in the quote is.
