What is Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary (HPB) Surgery?
At King’s College Hospital London, Dubai – Bahrain Clinic, our Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary (HPB) Surgery service provides specialist care for conditions affecting the liver, pancreas, gallbladder, and bile ducts. These conditions often require highly specialized assessment and treatment, ranging from minimally invasive procedures to complex surgery.
At King’s Bahrain Clinic, our multidisciplinary team delivers personalized, evidence-based care using advanced diagnostics and modern surgical techniques to achieve the best possible outcomes.
What does an HPB surgeon do?
An HPB surgeon diagnoses and treats diseases affecting the liver, pancreas, gallbladder, and biliary system. Working closely with hepatologists, gastroenterologists, oncologists, radiologists, and specialist nurses, they develop individualized treatment plans for both benign and cancerous conditions.
Our surgeons perform minimally invasive procedures whenever appropriate while also managing complex liver and pancreatic surgery.
