HPB Surgery in Mumbai
Specialised Surgical Care for Liver, Pancreas & Biliary Tract Conditions
Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary (HPB) surgery is a specialised area of surgery focused on conditions affecting the liver, pancreas, gallbladder, bile ducts, and surrounding structures. These organs can be affected by cancer, cysts, stones, infections, injuries, and other complex conditions that may require highly specialised surgical treatment.
At VED Hospital, our HPB surgical team provides comprehensive evaluation and treatment for both benign and malignant conditions involving the liver, pancreas, and biliary system. Treatment is planned after detailed imaging, laboratory investigations, and multidisciplinary assessment to determine the safest and most appropriate surgical approach.
What Brings You Here Today?
Conditions affecting the liver, pancreas, gallbladder, and bile ducts can cause a variety of symptoms. If any of these situations sound familiar, specialist evaluation can help identify the underlying problem.
I've Been Diagnosed with a Liver Tumour
A liver mass requires detailed evaluation to determine whether it is benign or malignant and whether surgery is appropriate.
I've Been Diagnosed with a Pancreatic Tumour
Pancreatic tumours often require specialised imaging and multidisciplinary planning before treatment.
I Have Gallbladder Disease
Recurrent gallstones, inflammation, or suspicious gallbladder lesions may require surgical treatment.
I'm Experiencing Jaundice
Yellowing of the eyes or skin may indicate a blockage or disease affecting the liver or bile ducts.
I've Been Diagnosed with a Bile Duct Problem
Bile duct obstruction, strictures, and tumours require specialist evaluation to restore normal bile drainage.
I'm Looking for a Second Opinion
If you have been advised to undergo complex liver, pancreatic, or biliary surgery, a specialist review can help you understand your options.
Understanding HPB Surgery
HPB surgery involves the diagnosis and surgical management of diseases affecting the liver, pancreas, gallbladder, and bile ducts. These organs are closely connected anatomically and functionally, making treatment of complex conditions highly specialised.
HPB surgery may be required for both cancerous and non-cancerous conditions. Depending on the diagnosis, treatment may involve minimally invasive surgery, removal of part of an organ, major abdominal surgery, or complex reconstruction of the bile ducts and surrounding structures.
When Is HPB Surgery Considered?
Surgery may be recommended when a liver, pancreatic, gallbladder, or biliary condition requires removal, reconstruction, or definitive treatment.

Pancreatic Tumours
Gallbladder Cancer
Bile Duct Tumours
Gallstones & Gallbladder Disease
Bile Duct Obstruction

Why Early Specialist Evaluation Matters
HPB conditions can become complex when diagnosis or treatment is delayed. Early specialist assessment helps establish the cause of the problem and determine whether surgical or non-surgical treatment is appropriate. Early evaluation may help:
- Detect liver and pancreatic cancers at an earlier stage
- Identify potentially treatable tumours
- Relieve bile duct obstruction before complications develop
- Assess whether complete tumour removal is possible
- Plan complex surgery more safely
- Coordinate cancer treatment without unnecessary delays

Frequently Asked Question
Does every liver or pancreatic tumour require surgery?
No. Treatment depends on the type, size, location, stage, and overall health of the patient. Some tumours may be treated with other approaches, while surgery may be recommended when complete removal is possible and appropriate.
What is the Whipple procedure?
The Whipple procedure is a complex operation commonly used for selected tumours involving the head of the pancreas and nearby structures. It involves removing the affected portion and reconstructing the digestive and biliary pathways.
Can HPB surgery be performed using minimally invasive techniques?
Selected procedures can be performed laparoscopically or using other minimally invasive techniques. The appropriate approach depends on the condition, anatomy, and complexity of surgery.
How long does recovery take after HPB surgery?
Recovery varies significantly depending on the procedure performed and the patient’s overall health. Major pancreatic and liver operations generally require a longer recovery period than simpler procedures.
Will I need additional treatment after HPB cancer surgery?
Some patients may require chemotherapy, radiation therapy, targeted treatment, or other cancer-directed care after surgery. The need for additional treatment depends on the final diagnosis and pathology findings.
