Understanding HPB Surgery
HPB (Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary) Surgery deals with diseases of the liver, pancreas, and biliary system (gallbladder and bile ducts). These organs work together to digest food, metabolize nutrients, and detoxify the body. Disorders of any of these organs may require expert surgical intervention.
HPB surgery is often indicated for:
Liver tumors, cirrhosis complications, or liver cysts
Pancreatitis, pancreatic tumors, or pancreatic cancer
Gallstones, bile-duct obstruction, or gallbladder/bile-duct cancer
Who Needs HPB Surgery?

• Liver cancer or secondary (metastatic) tumours
• Liver cysts or abscesses
• Cirrhosis with complications
• Acute or chronic pancreatitis
• Pancreatic tumours or cysts
• Pancreatic cancer
• Gallstones or infected gallbladder
• Bile-duct injury, stricture or blockage
• Bile-duct or gallbladder cancer
Dr. Mitul Shah evaluates every patient thoroughly with advanced imaging and diagnostic techniques to identify the exact cause of disease and recommend the safest, most effective surgical treatment.
