Hepatobiliary Surgery

A very complex name matching the complexity of these organs.

The Liver, biliary tract and pancreas are important abdominal glands that are vital for your normal healthy function.

Unfortunately they are also common sites for cancers and for calculus (stone) disease.

These organs are deep in the body and hence very difficult to reach. Complex open surgery  may be required in selected cases to perform safe and effective surgery.

Mr Beardsley is a trained Hepatobiliary surgeon and works closely with his colleagues at Cairns, Townsville and the Austin HPB unit to get the best outcomes for his patients.

You will often require endoscopy, PET scans and MR/CT scans as part of your workup for these conditions.
