Hepaticojejunostomy

Hepaticojejunostomy is a surgical procedure where a connection is created between the bile ducts (tubes that carry bile from the liver to the gallbladder and intestines) and the jejunum (the middle part of the small intestine).

Liver Resection

Liver resection is a surgical procedure where a portion of the liver is removed. The liver is a vital organ that helps with digestion, detoxification, and storing nutrients. Sometimes, due to diseases like cancer, tumors, or severe damage, a part of the liver needs to be removed to prevent further health issues.

Hemicolectomy (Right/Left)

A hemicolectomy is a type of surgery where part of the colon (large intestine) is removed. Depending on which part of the colon is affected, the surgery can be a right hemicolectomy, left hemicolectomy, or total colectomy (removal of the entire colon).

Bowel Restoration surgeries

Bowel restoration surgery refers to a type of surgery that fixes problems in the intestines (also called the bowel). The bowel is a long tube in your digestive system that helps process food and remove waste from your body.

Pancreatic Surgeries

The pancreas is an important organ in your body that helps with digestion and controls blood sugar levels. Sometimes, due to diseases or conditions like cancer, inflammation, or blockages, the pancreas may need surgery.

Abdominoperineal resection (APR) – (for low lying Rectal Carcinoma)
