Hepato Pancreato Biliary Surgery

What is Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary Surgery?

HPB (Hepato-Pancreatico-Biliary) surgery is a subspecialty of surgery specific to benign and malignant diseases of the liver, pancreas and biliary tree. HPB surgery can be complex and requires specialized training and/or experience.

HPB Surgical Procedures

Complex hepatic (liver), pancreatic, and biliary surgeries, including, but not limited to:

• Liver resection (major and minor)
• Liver tumor ablation
• Pancreas resection for benign and malignant disease (including Whipple procedure)
• Bile duct resection
• Bile duct repair
• Complex gallbladder resection

All of these surgical procedures (including major pancreatic surgeries and the Whipple procedure) can be performed in a minimally invasive fashion, when appropriate, through the use of robotic or laparoscopic surgical techniques.
