FAQ's

There are various processes in the diagnostic procedure for medical disorders. The patient's medical history is reviewed first, and then they get a comprehensive physical examination. After that, blood tests are performed to evaluate different parameters, and imaging tests like MRIs and ultrasounds offer precise views of interior structures. If more information is required, specialised procedures like ERCP (Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography) or biopsy may be carried out, enabling precise diagnosis and treatment planning.
 

Hepatic adenomas, cholangiocarcinoma (bile duct cancer), and hepatoblastoma (child liver cancer) are among the disorders for which Hepatobiliary surgery may be needed. Surgical procedures can be used to restore bile flow and avoid complications in cases of bile duct strictures or damage. In addition, surgical correction is frequently necessary to address congenital anomalies, including choledochal cysts and biliary atresia, to enhance quality of life and prevent long-term consequences.
 

Severe abdominal pain with fever or jaundice, especially in the upper right quadrant, is a sign that Hepatobiliary surgery is necessary. Unexpected weight loss, persistent nausea, and vomiting can potentially be signs of hepatobiliary problems. Ultrasound, CT, or MRI scans are examples of imaging tests that can identify tumours, gallstones, or other abnormalities that need to be surgically removed. 

Furthermore, surgery might be required to successfully treat the underlying problem if liver function tests reveal abnormalities or if other treatments have not been able to reduce symptoms. A hepatobiliary surgeon should be consulted as soon as possible to ensure appropriate assessment and treatment planning.
 

Hepatobiliary surgery poses several risks and complications, including bleeding, infection, bile leakage, liver failure, biliary strictures, pancreatitis, damage to surrounding structures, blood clots, pneumonia, and adverse reactions to anaesthesia. These procedures involve delicate organs and complex anatomy, increasing the potential for adverse outcomes. Patients should thoroughly discuss these risks with their healthcare providers and adhere to pre-and post-operative instructions to mitigate complications. Surgeons with specialised expertise in hepatobiliary surgery can help minimise risks and optimise patient outcomes through careful planning and execution of procedures.
 

The complexity of the ailment being treated is one of several factors that affect how long surgery takes. Furthermore, the duration is highly influenced by the degree of surgical intervention needed, which can range from simple procedures to more involved operations. Further delays may result from unanticipated issues that arise following surgery, such as unexpected bleeding or anatomical changes. To preserve procedure efficiency and ensure the best possible outcomes for patients, surgeons carefully evaluate these factors. Consequently, a thorough comprehension and control of these factors are essential for establishing how long surgical procedures will take
 

Hepatobiliary surgery recovery varies based on operation complexity and patient-specific factors. After surgery, patients should typically anticipate spending a few days to a week in the hospital. They will be attentively watched for any difficulties throughout this period. Following their release from the hospital, patients must adhere to the surgeon's post-operative care instructions, which may involve dietary adjustments, medication administration, and limits on physical activity.
 

These lifestyle changes are meant to improve liver function, speed up the healing process, and reduce the risk of complications. To improve digestion and avoid gallstone formation, dietary changes may include consuming less fat or more fibre. Exercise guidelines may emphasise escalating exercise levels gradually to enhance general fitness and speed healing. Preventing substances or behaviours that put undue strain on the liver, such as prescription drugs or binge drinking, can also help the healing process go more smoothly.
 

Following Hepatobiliary surgery, the majority of patients report notable improvements in their quality of life and symptoms. However, some patients may experience long-term symptoms like dietary restrictions, changes in bowel habits, or the need for continuous medical follow-up, depending on the type of surgery performed and the underlying problem being treated.
 

You will receive detailed instructions from your surgeon about how to get ready for Hepatobiliary surgery. These instructions can involve quitting certain medications, fasting before the procedure, and going through pre-operative testing or consultations. Carefully adhering to these recommendations is necessary to get the best possible result from surgery. Before the treatment, you might also find it beneficial to talk through any queries or worries you have with your surgical team.
