Hepatobiliary surgery is a specialized field of surgery that focuses on the liver, gallbladder, and bile ducts. This type of surgery is often performed to treat conditions such as liver tumors, gallstones, and bile duct obstructions. Surgeons in this field use advanced techniques to ensure the best outcomes for patients. Common procedures in hepatobiliary surgery include cholecystectomy, the removal of the gallbladder, and hepatectomy, the partial or complete removal of the liver. These surgeries can be performed using traditional open techniques or minimally invasive methods, such as laparoscopy, which typically results in quicker recovery times and less pain for patients.
