Hepato Billiary Surgery

Hepato-Biliary Surgery focuses on the surgical treatment of conditions involving:

  • Liver (Hepato)

  • Gallbladder and Bile Ducts (Biliary)

  • Pancreas (often included in the same subspecialty)

These surgeries may range from simple gallbladder removals to complex liver resections, bile duct reconstructions, or tumor removals. Whether the problem is cancerous, congenital, inflammatory, or traumatic, our surgical team applies the latest techniques for precise and effective treatment.

Symptoms to Watch For

Hepato-Biliary disorders often show silent symptoms until the condition worsens. Early detection is the key to successful treatment. Common warning signs include:

  • Persistent pain in the upper right abdomen

  • Jaundice (yellowing of eyes and skin)

  • Unexplained weight loss

  • Nausea and vomiting

  • Loss of appetite

  • General fatigue and weakness

  • Abdominal swelling

  • Pale stools and dark urine

  • Fever and chills (in case of infection)

If you notice any of these symptoms, timely evaluation can prevent life-threatening complications.

Prevention & Early Care

While some Hepato-Biliary conditions are genetic or congenital, many can be prevented or their risks reduced through:

  • Maintaining a healthy weight

  • Limiting alcohol intake

  • Avoiding hepatitis B & C infections (vaccination, safe practices)

  • Eating a balanced, low-fat diet

  • Regular health check-ups, especially if there’s a family history

  • Managing diabetes and cholesterol levels

  • Staying physically active

Early lifestyle modifications can protect liver and gallbladder health and minimize the need for surgical intervention.

Advantages & Benefits of Hepato-Biliary Surgery

  • Symptom Relief: Eliminates chronic pain, discomfort, and digestive distress caused by gallstones, tumors, or bile duct blockages.

  • Life-Saving Treatment: Surgical removal of tumors or damaged tissue improves survival and prevents cancer spread.

  • Minimally Invasive Options: Laparoscopic surgeries offer faster recovery, reduced scarring, and shorter hospital stays.

  • Improved Liver Function: Removal of obstructions or diseased parts restores normal bile flow and enhances digestion.

  • Enhanced Quality of Life: Surgery helps patients return to normal activities without discomfort or health risks.
