HPB surgery treats diseases of the liver, pancreas, gallbladder and bile ducts. We combine advanced technology with surgical expertise to deliver safe and effective outcomes.

HPB surgery deals with complex conditions affecting the liver, pancreas, gallbladder and bile ducts. These organs are closely connected, so treating them needs specialised training and a well-equipped hospital.

HPB surgery is recommended for conditions of the liver, pancreas, gallbladder and bile ducts — including liver and pancreatic tumours, gallstones, bile duct obstruction, pancreatic and liver cysts, and cancers of these organs. After imaging and tests, Dr. Waliullah Siddiqui recommends the most appropriate treatment for each patient.
Yes. HPB surgery is safe when performed by an experienced HPB surgeon in a well-equipped hospital. Modern techniques, advanced imaging and dedicated anaesthesia and critical care teams significantly improve safety and outcomes.
It depends on the operation and your overall health. Laparoscopic or robotic procedures usually need a shorter stay, while complex open surgery may need a few extra days. You will get a personalised recovery plan.
After laparoscopic or robotic surgery most patients recover within 2–4 weeks; major open surgery may take 6–8 weeks or longer. Follow-ups, good nutrition and following your surgeon’s advice help ensure a smooth recovery.
Many HPB procedures can be performed laparoscopically or with robotic assistance, depending on the condition. These techniques offer smaller incisions, less pain, less blood loss and a faster recovery.
