Liver, Pancreas & Bile Duct Surgery
The term “hepato-pancreato-biliary” (HPB) surgery refers to this branch of medicine. With a dedication to providing top-notch care, Dr. Subash K G treats conditions about the liver, pancreas, bile duct, and gallbladder. To help you achieve the best outcomes possible, Dr. Bhushan employs the most recent surgical techniques and technologies. He collaborates closely with specialists in other medical fields, such as oncologists, gastroenterologists, therapeutic endoscopists, interventional radiologists, and hepatologists, to provide you with comprehensive and specialized care because these are frequently extremely complex cases affecting multiple organs.
When your digestive system encounters issues, a variety of symptoms may manifest, such as sharp abdominal pain, jaundice (discoloration of the eyes), fever, and fatigue. Often, surgical intervention becomes the optimal approach to restore health.
Dr. Subash K G specializes in advanced procedures for the central portion of the digestive tract, addressing both cancerous and noncancerous conditions related to:
- Bile Ducts: These small drainpipes play a crucial role in clearing digestive liquid (bile) from organs.
- Gallbladder: A small organ responsible for storing bile until it is needed for food digestion.
- Liver: An essential organ involved in bile production, blood filtration, and waste elimination.
- Pancreas: A small gland located in the abdomen, contributes to food digestion and blood sugar regulation.
HPB conditions treatment
We commonly address the following conditions:
- Benign (non-cancerous) growths in the liver, pancreas, bile duct, or gallbladder.
- Cancers affecting the liver, pancreas, bile duct, or gallbladder.
- Neuroendocrine tumors, characterized by the development of tumors in specific cells.
- Gallstones, which are hard particles that can form and become lodged in the gallbladder.
- Acute and chronic pancreatitis, involving inflammation of the pancreas.
- Infections or abscesses, which are pockets of fluid or pus.
- Portal hypertension, denoting abnormally high blood pressure in the large vein that transports
Complete HPB surgical care
- Heat-based ablation therapies are typically administered through a small tube to eradicate tumors.
- Resections involve the removal or cutting out of diseased or damaged sections within the affected organ or organs. While traditional open surgery is a common approach, Dr. Bhushan specializes in employing minimally invasive methods, utilizing either robotic or laparoscopic techniques. Unlike open procedures, these methods typically utilize small incisions and miniature video cameras. Various types of resections include:
1. Whipple Procedure: This involves the removal of a portion of the pancreas, gallbladder, and intestine.
2. Hepatectomies: These procedures entail the removal of a segment of the liver.
3. Distal Pancreatectomies: This type of resection focuses on removing the bottom or tail of the pancreas.
- Irreversible Electroporation (IRE) employs electric pulses to create openings in tumor cells, primarily in the pancreas and sometimes the liver, facilitating the destruction of the tumor.
