Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary (HPB) Surgery

Overview

The Department of Hepato-Pancreatico-Biliary (H.P.B.) Surgery at Sir H.N. Reliance Foundation Hospital strives to offer state-of-the-art medical facilities and treatment for all conditions affecting the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, and bile ducts, whether benign or cancerous.

Our highly qualified gastroenterologists, an advanced endoscopy team, and a dedicated abdominal radiologist ensure safe and effective treatment. Our focus is on gentle surgical techniques, like laparoscopic and minimal access surgery.

We are also fully equipped for day-care surgery, wherein the selected procedures allow patients to return home the same day. This approach means less post-operative pain, faster recovery, shorter hospital stays, and early rehabilitation.

Conditions We Treat

At our Department of H.P.B. Surgery, we bring together advanced imaging, expert surgery, and minimally invasive techniques to deliver safe and effective treatment. Our key services include:

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy/bile duct procedures: Minimally invasive surgery to remove the gallbladder or treat bile duct issues
Liver transplant surgery: Transplant surgery for patients with end-stage liver disease
Liver and pancreas cancer treatment: Surgical and interventional care for cancers affecting the liver and pancreas, tailed to each patient’s needs

At the Department of H.P.B. Surgery, we have invested in world-class infrastructure and cutting-edge technology to ensure safe and precise care for every patient. Our high-class modular operation theatres are designed for complex and minimally invasive surgeries, supported by expert teams and state-of-the-art liver ICUs for close monitoring and recovery.

For patients needing radiology-guided procedures, our hybrid operation theatres and interventional radiology setups allow us to safely manage even the most complex HPB conditions.

Our diagnostic centre is equipped with CT and MRI scanners, providing specialised and high-resolution imaging of the liver, pancreas, and bile ducts.

We use advanced equipment for major abdominal surgery, including:

Intra-operative ultrasound (IOUS) for real-time imaging during surgery.
Cavitron ultrasonic aspirator and dissector (CUSA) for removing liver tissue with minimal bleeding.
Argon plasma coagulator (APC) for controlling bleeding during surgery using a beam of ionized gas.
Harmonic scalpel, which cuts and seals tissue with precision using ultrasound energy.

Gallstone disease: Hard deposits in the gallbladder that can cause pain, infection, or blockage.
Gallbladder cancer: A rare cancer that starts in the gallbladder and may cause pain or jaundice.
Bile duct injuries and strictures: Damage or narrowing of the bile ducts causing bile flow issues.
Cholangiocarcinoma: A cancer of the bile ducts that can block bile drainage and lead to jaundice.
Chronic liver disease: Long-term damage to the liver from various causes such as alcohol, hepatitis, or fatty liver.
Acute and chronic pancreatitis: Sudden or long-standing inflammation of the pancreas, causing severe abdominal pain.
Pancreatic and liver cysts: Fluid-filled sacs in the pancreas or liver
Pancreatic cancer: A cancer of the pancreas that often requires complex treatment.
Portal hypertension: Increased pressure in the portal vein of the liver, which can cause swelling, bleeding, or fluid buildup.
