Overview

The Liver and Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary (HPB) Surgery Division at Baby Memorial Hospital is a high-acuity surgical unit, dedicated to the specialised care and management of complex conditions involving the liver, pancreas, gallbladder, and bile ducts. This division brings together a highly skilled team of HPB surgeons, experienced anaesthetists, medical oncologists, and critical care specialists who collaborate seamlessly to provide advanced surgical solutions that prioritise both precision and patient safety.

Our services cover a comprehensive range of both elective and emergency surgical procedures. These include liver resections for benign and malignant lesions, pancreaticoduodenectomy (Whipple surgery) for pancreatic and periampullary tumours, complex bile duct reconstructions following injury or stricture, as well as minimally invasive hepatobiliary surgeries designed to reduce surgical trauma and promote faster recovery.

We incorporate cutting-edge intraoperative imaging techniques to enhance surgical accuracy, and our protocols are guided by ERAS (Enhanced Recovery After Surgery) principles to optimise patient outcomes and support quicker postoperative recovery. Patients benefit from our state-of-the-art critical care infrastructure, which ensures continuous monitoring and prompt management of complications during the postoperative period.

Baby Memorial Hospital has earned recognition as a centre of excellence in the treatment of HPB cancers, secondary liver metastases, and complex biliary tract injuries. As a result, it serves as a major referral centre for patients requiring specialised and high-risk hepatobiliary surgeries not only within Kerala but from neighbouring regions as well. Our commitment to multidisciplinary care, clinical excellence, and innovation makes us a trusted destination for advanced HPB surgical interventions.
