A Hepatobiliary Surgeon (HPB surgeon) is a super-specialist who operates on the liver, gallbladder, bile ducts and pancreas. In Bangladesh, patients are most often referred for gallstones and their complications, obstructive jaundice, bile-duct stones and strictures, pancreatitis, and tumours of the liver, gallbladder, bile duct or pancreas. Because Hepatitis B and C are common here, many patients are seen for liver cirrhosis-related problems and liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma). At a consultation, the surgeon reviews your symptoms, jaundice history and previous reports, examines your abdomen, and usually advises ultrasound, blood tests (LFTs, tumour markers), and often a CT or MRCP scan to plan treatment. Management may be medical, an ERCP, a laparoscopic (keyhole) gallbladder removal, or major liver/pancreas surgery at a tertiary centre such as BSMMU, Dhaka Medical College or large private hospitals. You should see a Hepatobiliary Surgeon if you have yellowing of the eyes or skin, persistent right upper-abdominal or upper-back pain, gallstones found on ultrasound, dark urine with pale stools, or a liver, gallbladder or pancreas mass on a scan.
See a Hepatobiliary Surgeon if you have jaundice (yellow eyes or skin), gallstones with pain, dark urine and pale stools, persistent right upper-abdominal or back pain, or a liver, gallbladder, bile-duct or pancreas mass found on a scan. Early referral matters most for obstructive jaundice and any suspected tumour.
A first (new-patient) consultation with a Hepatobiliary Surgeon in Chittagong usually costs about BDT 800-2,000. Senior professors and top private hospitals in Dhaka may charge up to BDT 2,500-3,000, while follow-up visits are typically cheaper (around 50-70% of the new fee). Scans like ultrasound, CT or MRCP and any surgery are billed separately by the hospital.
You can book by calling the doctor's chamber or hospital directly, or through an online booking platform, and serial numbers fill up fast for senior surgeons. Carry your previous prescriptions and all reports (ultrasound, CT/MRI/MRCP, LFTs). At the visit the surgeon takes your jaundice and pain history, examines your abdomen, and usually advises blood tests and imaging before deciding between medicines, ERCP, laparoscopic gallbladder surgery or major HPB surgery.
There is no single "best" surgeon for everyone. For liver, bile-duct and pancreas operations, look for an experienced HPB or general/laparoscopic surgeon with the right degrees (such as FCPS or MS in Surgery) who regularly performs these procedures at a well-equipped hospital. On this page you can compare verified Hepatobiliary Surgeons in Chittagong by qualifications, years of experience, hospital and fee, and choose the one best suited to your condition.
Yes. Many Hepatobiliary Surgeons in Chittagong offer telemedicine consultations by phone or video, which is useful for reviewing reports, discussing scan findings, and getting a second opinion before surgery. However, conditions like gallstone disease, obstructive jaundice and tumours usually need an in-person examination and imaging, and any operation must be done at a hospital, so an online visit is best as a first step or for follow-up.
