Dr. Deepak Govil

Dr. Deepak Govil is the Director of Liver Transplant at Max Super Speciality Hospital Patparganj in New Delhi, heading one of Delhi NCR's most respected liver transplant and hepatobiliary surgery programmes. With over 25 years of specialist experience and UK fellowship training in liver transplantation, he has built a programme particularly renowned for paediatric liver transplantation – one of the most technically demanding and emotionally complex subspecialties in all of surgery. Dr. Govil completed his MBBS, MS in General Surgery and MCh in Surgical Gastroenterology before pursuing a Fellowship in Liver Transplantation in the UK – training at a centre with a distinguished history of adult and paediatric liver transplant. This fellowship gave him comprehensive exposure to the full spectrum of transplant surgery and peri-operative hepatology, as well as the multidisciplinary management of paediatric liver disease essential for successful paediatric transplantation. Over his career Dr. Govil has performed over 1,500 liver transplants encompassing living donor transplants in adults and children, deceased donor transplants, split-liver transplants – where a single deceased donor liver is divided to treat two recipients – and ABO-incompatible transplants. His paediatric liver transplant programme treats children with biliary atresia, progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis, Wilson's disease, acute liver failure and metabolic liver diseases, with outcomes matching published international paediatric transplant benchmarks. Adult LDLT for cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma and acute liver failure constitutes the majority of Dr. Govil's transplant volume. His programme is equipped with comprehensive transplant evaluation including advanced hepatic imaging, portal pressure measurement, volumetric analysis and multidisciplinary hepatology support. Post-transplant immunosuppression management and long-term graft surveillance are coordinated through structured follow-up protocols. A respected researcher and international educator, Dr. Govil presents at ILTS and APASL congresses and has published extensively in paediatric and adult transplant journals. He received the ISOT Young Surgeon Award and is recognised as one of North India's foremost paediatric liver transplant specialists. For families of children or adults requiring liver transplant in Delhi NCR, Dr. Deepak Govil at Max Super Speciality Hospital Patparganj offers UK-trained expertise, high transplant volumes and compassionate comprehensive care from one of Delhi's most respected transplant institutions.
