Expert Surgical Care for Chronic Pancreatitis
Chronic pancreatitis is a long-term condition that causes permanent damage to the pancreas, leading to scarring and reduced function. It often causes persistent abdominal pain that may spread to the back, along with nausea, vomiting, oily stools, weight loss, and, in some cases, diabetes. Symptoms may worsen after eating or lying down and improve when sitting forward.
Diagnosis involves a combination of medical history, blood tests, and imaging such as ultrasound, CT scan, or MRCP to confirm the condition and identify complications like pseudocysts, duct leaks, or portal vein thrombosis. Early diagnosis helps guide the most appropriate treatment.
Treatment includes pain management, supportive care, and procedures such as ERCP or surgery when needed to relieve blockages or manage complications. Avoiding alcohol, quitting smoking, and following a low-fat diet are essential lifestyle changes that help control symptoms and improve quality of life.
Conditions in Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary Surgery
Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary (HPB) surgery focuses on treating conditions affecting the liver, pancreas, gallbladder, and bile ducts. Treatment may involve minimally invasive or advanced surgical procedures, depending on the condition. At ADROIT Speciality Hospital, patients receive personalised care focused on safe treatment and effective recovery.
Gallbladder Stone Surgery
Gallbladder stone surgery (cholecystectomy) is done to remove a painful, diseased gallbladder due to gallstones. It is the standard treatment for gallbladder-related problems. Laparoscopic and robotic techniques allow faster recovery with minimal pain and complications.

Acute Pancreatitis
Acute pancreatitis is sudden inflammation of the pancreas, commonly due to gallstones or alcohol, causing severe upper abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. If not treated early, it can become serious. Treatment includes supportive care, pain control, and managing the underlying cause.
Chronic Pancreatitis
Chronic pancreatitis is a long-term condition causing permanent pancreatic damage, leading to ongoing abdominal pain, digestive issues, weight loss, and sometimes diabetes. Diagnosis is done with blood tests and imaging. Treatment focuses on pain control, complications, and lifestyle changes, with surgery in advanced cases.
Specialized Treatment for Acute Pancreatitis
Acute pancreatitis is a sudden inflammation of the pancreas that can become life-threatening if not treated promptly. It is most commonly caused by gallstones or excessive alcohol use, but high triglyceride levels, certain medications, and smoking can also trigger the condition. Typical symptoms include severe upper abdominal pain that may spread to the back, along with nausea, vomiting, bloating, fever, and a rapid heart rate.
Diagnosis is based on medical history, blood tests for serum amylase and lipase, and imaging such as ultrasound, CT scan, or MRI. Early diagnosis is essential to assess the severity of the condition and identify the underlying cause.
Treatment focuses on intravenous fluids, pain relief, and supportive care to reduce inflammation. If gallstones or bile duct blockage are responsible, ERCP or gallbladder removal surgery (cholecystectomy) may be recommended. Avoiding alcohol, quitting smoking, and following a low-fat diet are important steps to support recovery and reduce the risk of recurrence.
Patient Journey at ADROIT Speciality Hospital
HPB care covers three complex areas: the liver, the pancreas, and the biliary system. At ADROIT, every journey is guided by expert specialists from diagnosis to recovery, with care built around your specific condition.
1. Liver Conditions
For liver tumours, cysts, and chronic damage, we start with advanced imaging, plan treatment around your needs, and use modern liver-sparing surgery, followed by structured recovery support.
2. Pancreatic Conditions
For pancreatitis, cysts, and tumours, we combine detailed diagnostics with precise, safe surgery, plus close follow-up care and dietary guidance to protect your long-term health.
3. Biliary (Gallbladder and Bile Duct) Conditions
For stones, blockages, and growths, we identify the cause and use minimally invasive procedures where possible to restore normal bile flow and ease symptoms.
