Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary Surgery

Diagnoses and treatments for benign and malignant conditions affecting the liver, pancreas, gallbladder, and bile ducts are included in hepato-pancreato-biliary surgeries. Surgery on the hepatopancreas and belly is a difficult procedure.

IHPBT, a renowned liver transplant department in BLK hospital, Delhi, has a wealth of experience with HPB procedures. Additionally, Dr. Abhideep has particular expertise in both traditional open surgery and minimally invasive surgery, like laparoscopic procedures.

Dr. Abhideep is a specialist in bile duct cancer surgery (Cholangiocarcinoma), gallbladder cancer surgery, the Whipples procedure for pancreatic tumours, and liver resection. When necessary, these treatments can be carried out using robotic or laparoscopic surgical techniques.

HPB Conditions Treated by Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary Surgery

• Gallstone disease
• Liver Tumors
• Pancreatic Tumors
• Bile Duct Tumors
• Cholangitis
• Obstruction
• Perforation
• Fistula of biliary tract
• Spasm of the sphincter
• Biliary cyst
• Biliary atresia

Diagnostic Tests for Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary Diseases

There are various tests that surgeons perform to diagnose Hepatobiliary Disease. The most common diagnostic tests include:

• Magnetic Resonance Cholangiopancreatography (MRCP)
• Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP)
• Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS) and sometimes Ultrasonography

Different Types of HPB Surgeries

The most prevalent type of liver cancer is hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Identifying the stage of liver cancer and the stage of liver dysfunction is a necessary step in treating HCC. A multidisciplinary approach is used in the treatment of HCC. We are pleased to offer all HCC treatment options at IHPBLT,Delhi.

• Liver Resection Surgery
• Liver Transplant
• Locoregional Therapy- Radiofrequency Ablation(RFA), Microwave Ablation, Transarterial Chemoembolisation (TACE)
• Radiotherapy( SBRT)
• Medical Oncology Support

Bile Duct Cancer (Cholangiocarcinoma)

A bile duct cancer called cholangiocarcinoma manifests as bile duct blockage that causes jaundice and itching. Aggressive liver and bile duct resection are two treatment options for this type of cancer.

Pancreatic Cancer:

Pancreaticoduodenectomy (Whipple's Surgery) is necessary for pancreatic head and periampullary cancer. This cancer can occasionally invade vascular structures, necessitating the reconstruction of the affected veins. We have extensive experience carrying out such procedures.

What is the Success Rate of Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary (HPB) Surgery?

Depending on the disease stage, hepato-pancreato-biliary surgical procedures have such a success rate. In general, these procedures have a low rate of complications when carried out by trained professionals in modern healthcare facilities like IHPBLT.

What Precautions Should One Take After Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary (HPB) Surgery?
