Overview
The surgical division of the Sakra Institute of Digestive & HPB (Hepato-pancreato-biliary) Sciences has the following
key areas of focus. They are:
1. Minimally Invasive Organ Preserving Surgery
At Sakra Hospital, majority of gastrointestinal surgical procedures can now be performed by a minimal invasive approach (laparoscopic surgery) with small incisions, quick, painless recovery and early return to work. All intestinal surgeries (esophagus or food pipe, large intestine), a majority of biliary surgery (gallbladder surgery, surgery of the bile duct) and selected pancreatic surgery are performed by the laparoscopic approach. The next natural step in advanced laparoscopic surgery is to combine the minimally invasive approach with organ preservation to enhance outcomes. At Sakra, with scrupulous planning and expertise we strive to safeguard the complete organ and accomplish the objective of treating the disease. Organ preserving approaches are an advantage in the surgery of the liver, pancreas where removal of the critical part of the organ leads to a long term functional disability.
2. Pancreas Care Program
The Pancreas Care Program at the Institute of Digestive & HPB (Hepato-pancreato-biliary) Sciences, at Sakra World Hospital is a comprehensive program for management of pancreatic diseases with a multidisciplinary team.Pancreatic disorders present unique challenge to the physicians in terms of diagnosis, selecting the most appropriate treatment option and execute the same with the skill and precisionusing skilled personel and technology.

All diagnostic facilities with expertise in surgical treatment and /or endoscopic palliation is available in the program. The team has considerable expertise in procedures such as hepatectomy, Whipple's Procedure, total mesorectal excision and laparoscopiconcology procedures.
5. Biliary Surgery
Injuries of biliary tract after cholecystectomy (gallbladder surgery) are serious problems which require expertise and understanding in successful management. The surgical team has national and international recognition in the treatment and management of bile duct injury following cholecystectomy. The center is a referral center for management of this complex problems.
Our expertise is also in the treatment of choledochal cyst (congenital dilatation of the bile passage) in all age groups, apart from other diseases like gallbladder cancer and bile duct obstruction.
6. Liver Surgery
The team has a large experience of performing liver surgery for liver cancers, cancers of the bile duct and for other liver tumors.
