Unit of study_
SURG5025: Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery
2024 unit information
The objective of this unit of study is for participants to develop greater understanding of the operative anatomy, pathophysiology and treatment options for complex hepatobiliary and pancreatic diseases by laparoscopic or open means. Separate areas will focus on benign and malignant disease, diagnosis and management, including acute pancreatitis, pancreatic and liver transplantation. This unit of study will introduce participants to key areas of operative anatomy, pathology, imaging and surgical techniques at an advanced level. It is anticipated that this unit of study would be of value to any Doctor wishing to pursue a career in General Surgery, as well as more advanced trainees interested in the subspecialty area of Hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery. By the end of the course, participants will have developed the ability to critically appraise contemporary hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgical practice and have the knowledge to investigate and manage all common HPB problems.
