Lucknow | In a remarkable display of advanced medical expertise, Max Super Specialty Hospital, Lucknow, has successfully treated 27-year-old Rishabh Singh, a Delhi resident battling a rare and life-threatening liver condition. Rishabh was diagnosed with Hepatolithiasis accompanied by Recurrent Pyogenic Cholangitis (RPC)—a combination that is notoriously difficult to treat and often leads to repeated infections and liver damage.
Rishabh arrived at Max Lucknow in a severely deteriorated state. He suffered from persistent high fever, jaundice, rapid weight loss, and crippling abdominal pain. His condition involved multiple stones lodged deep within the liver’s tiny bile ducts, compounded by chronic infections—an issue further complicated by an earlier failed procedure performed elsewhere.
A High-Complexity Surgical Challenge
Dr. Waliullah Siddiqui, Director – Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary & Liver Transplant Surgery at Max Lucknow, led the intricate procedure. He explained the seriousness of the case:
“Rishabh presented with advanced deterioration and stones hidden deep within the liver. The surgery required extreme precision and a coordinated, multi-disciplinary approach to clear the ducts and eliminate the infection source.”

A Life Restored
Through a meticulously planned surgical intervention, the Max team removed multiple liver stones and addressed the root cause of his recurring infections. Post-surgery, Rishabh made a steady recovery, marking a dramatic turnaround from his critical condition.
The successful treatment showcases Max Hospital Lucknow’s expertise in complex HPB (Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary) surgeries, reaffirming its growing reputation as a leading center for high-risk, tertiary care medical procedures in northern India.
For Rishabh, the operation has not only relieved years of pain and repeated illness but also given him a fresh start—restoring his health and hope for the future.
