Gastrointestinal (GI) and Hepatopancreatobiliary (HPB) surgeries are highly specialized surgical fields focused on the digestive tract and its associated organs—the liver, pancreas, and biliary system. These procedures treat a wide range of conditions from benign disorders like gallstones to complex malignant cancers.

Gastrointestinal (GI) Surgery
GI surgery focuses on the organs of the alimentary canal, including the esophagus, stomach, small and large intestines (colon), rectum, and anus. Common procedures include colectomy for conditions like colorectal cancer or inflammatory bowel disease, gastrectomy for stomach cancer or ulcers, esophagectomy for esophageal cancer, bariatric surgery for weight management, and hernia repair.

Hepatopancreatobiliary (HPB) Surgery
HPB surgery is a specialized area addressing complex diseases of the liver, pancreas, and biliary system (gallbladder and bile ducts). Procedures in this field include the Whipple procedure for pancreatic cancer, hepatectomy (liver resection) for tumors, cholecystectomy for gallstones, liver transplant for diseased livers, and biliary reconstruction.
