What are the conditions are treated by  Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery?

HPB Surgery is used to treat the following conditions:

​

Tumors of the Liver – Tumors of the liver may be either primary liver malignancies or metastases from other parts of the body. Colorectal cancer is the most frequent malignancy to spread to the liver. A neuroendocrine tumor of the gastrointestinal system is another form of tumor that metastasizes to the liver.

 

Pancreas Tumors – Pancreatic duct cancers are the most frequent, but individuals may also develop neuroendocrine pancreas tumors and cystic pancreas tumors, which can be precancerous or malignant upon presentation.

 

Gallbladder and Bile Duct Tumors – Although these malignancies are uncommon, they may need significant general surgery to treat.

Types of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery

Liver Tumors – Only resection or liver transplantation can treat primary liver cancer. Metastatic colorectal cancer to the liver can only be cured with complete surgical removal of all diseases. Ablative treatment (the use of heat and radio waves to kill tumor cells) is often used in combination with resection or when the patient’s tumor is not operable with standard general surgery. Minimally invasive procedures are also being employed to remove liver tumors using smaller incisions, which may aid in postoperative recovery and lower the risk of wound infection.

 

Pancreas Tumors – Surgical removal of pancreatic malignancies is the only chance for cure. If the tumor is in the pancreatic head , a Whipple resection may be required, along with blood vessel repair if necessary. Minimally invasive procedures, similar to those used in liver surgery, may be utilized to treat malignancies in the body and tail of the pancreas.

 

Gallbladder and Bile Duct Tumors — In addition to liver resection as the preferred therapy for these tumors, patients may need bile duct reconstruction by a general surgeon depending on the extent of tumor involvement or if the bile duct is blocked by tumor.
