Why Choose a Hepato-Biliary Surgeon?
Hepato-biliary surgery involves vital organs and delicate vascular structures. It requires a surgeon trained in liver and pancreatic surgery, with access to advanced imaging and operative tools. Choosing a skilled Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary (HPB) specialist ensures:
- Accurate diagnosis
- Comprehensive preoperative planning
- Safer surgeries with better outcomes
- Coordinated care with oncologists and gastroenterologists
Postoperative Care & Recovery
Recovery varies depending on the procedure. Some surgeries, like laparoscopic cholecystectomy, allow discharge within a day, while major liver resections may need longer hospitalisation. Follow-up care includes:
- Wound care
- Liver function monitoring
- Nutritional support
- Imaging and tumour marker tracking (for cancer cases)
