Renova NIGL Elevates Liver Care with RIGS Launch

Renova NIGL Hospitals in Hyderabad has inaugurated the Renova Institute of Gastro Sciences (RIGS), a dedicated facility for advanced liver transplantation and complex gastrointestinal care. This launch significantly enhances the hospital's capacity as a tertiary referral center for digestive and liver diseases.

RIGS is established to manage the increasing prevalence of advanced liver disease, liver failure, pancreatic disorders, and complex gastrointestinal conditions. The institute provides a coordinated approach to patient evaluation and treatment, with a strong focus on comprehensive liver transplant services.

Services at RIGS include adult and pediatric liver transplants, living and deceased donor procedures, and management of acute and chronic liver failure. Dr. Raghavendra Rao, leading the program, emphasized the seamless, integrated care pathway from diagnosis to long-term follow-up.

Clinicians observe a rise in liver and digestive ailments in urban India, attributed to lifestyle factors like obesity and alcohol consumption. They stress the importance of early detection, as many patients seek care only when diseases are advanced. RIGS also offers comprehensive care for various GI and HPB disorders, including cancers.

The institute fosters multidisciplinary decision-making by bringing together specialists in gastroenterology, hepatology, oncology, and critical care. This collaborative environment supports advanced surgical gastroenterology and hepatopancreaticobiliary surgery, including complex minimally invasive procedures.

Mr. Sridhar Peddireddy, Founder & Managing Director, highlighted RIGS as a key step in reinforcing Renova NIGL Hospitals' commitment to specialized tertiary and quaternary care. The institute aims to improve patient outcomes through early screening and robust public awareness campaigns.

RIGS is designed for continuity of care throughout the patient's journey, from initial consultation to post-operative rehabilitation and long-term monitoring, solidifying Renova NIGL Hospitals as a premier destination for advanced gastrointestinal and liver care in Hyderabad.
