Expert Care for the Core: Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary (HPB) Surgery What is HPB Surgery and Care? Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary (HPB) surgery is a highly specialized field focused on the treatment of the liver, pancreas, gallbladder, and bile ducts. These organs work together to manage your body’s digestion and detoxification. This service addresses a wide spectrum of conditions, from common issues like gallbladder and bile duct stones to complex concerns such as liver trauma, cysts, and pancreatic or biliary cancers. Our specialists utilize advanced techniques, including liver resections to remove tumours and specialized gallbladder surgeries to resolve painful stones. We also provide expert management for acute and chronic pancreatitis and rare neuroendocrine tumours. To ensure a safe surgical approach, every patient undergoes an intensive pre-operative workup involving a detailed medical history, high-definition X-rays (such as CT or MRI/MRCP), and comprehensive blood tests to evaluate organ function and metabolic health. Why is this Care Personally Vital for You? The organs in the HPB system are vital for life; when they are affected by stones, inflammation, or tumours, it can impact your entire body’s health. This specialized care is personally vital for you if: You Experience Severe Abdominal Pain: Persistent or sharp pain under your right ribs or in the upper abdomen can be a sign of gallstones or pancreatic inflammation that requires urgent intervention.
