Hepatobiliary-Pancreatic Surgery

What is hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery?

Hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery, or HPB surgery, refers to the surgical management of diseases affecting the liver, gallbladder, bile ducts, and pancreas.

The main function of the hepatobiliary system is revolved around the transportation of bile from the liver to the digestive tract. Bile is critical for the digestion of fats present in the foods we eat.

The pancreas, on the other hand, produces enzymes to break down our intake of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. It also regulates our blood sugar level.

HPB surgery includes a series of treatments and procedures specifically designed to correct any disorders or diseases of the hepatobiliary and pancreatic system. Read on to find out the common conditions that a HPB surgeon can treat.
