Gastrointestinal & Hepatobiliary Surgery

Overview

The Gastrointestinal & Hepatobiliary Surgery department at BCMCH is committed to achieving the best results for each and every person under its care. Along with surgical skills, we believe compassion and empathy to be of equal importance. Surgery and hospital stay can be daunting, but our team aims to provide comfort holistically.

The department is supported by the best hospital infrastructure in the region, including Class I modular operation theaters, state-of-the-art sterilization systems such as Plasma Sterilization, advanced energy devices like Harmonic Scalpel and Ligasure, operating microscopes, as well as the latest generation laparoscopic equipment. Our goal is to provide cutting-edge surgical care while ensuring a compassionate and supportive environment for our patients.

We perform a comprehensive range of gastrointestinal and hepatobiliary surgery procedures. Our expertise includes both laparoscopic and open surgeries, ensuring that we can offer the most suitable and effective treatment options for each individual patient. The decision regarding the best modality of treatment is taken after a Multidisciplinary Tumour Board meeting, which includes the medical and radiation oncologist, gastrointestinal surgeon, and radiologists. Surgical excellence in the 21st century depends on a combination of experienced surgeons, well-trained healthcare personnel, adherence to international standards of treatment, advanced technology, and a humane approach. At our department, we aspire to provide all these factors to every patient.
