Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic
Introduction
Presentation
Module Three is a continuation of our organ system – focused approach to flexible surgical endoscopy. In this module, “Hepatobiliary-Pancreatic” (HBP), we cover the pertinent anatomy, physiology, disease processes and interventions pertaining to the medical and surgical management of this complex system.
We detail the pre- and post-op anatomy of the liver, pancreas and biliary tree, covering specific terminology for liver segmentation and pedicle anatomy. We explore the use of EUS, ERCP, choledocoscopy, cholangiography and non-invasive imaging methods for the examination of HPB anomalies and pathology. We cover the evaluation and management of malignant processes such as intra-hepatic, peri-ampullary, pancreatic and biliary-derived tumors as well as benign processes such as ductal stones, variations in anatomy (papillary, ductal or biliary tract), fistulas and strictures. Special attention will be paid to the variety of pancreatic tumors (mucinous, adenocarcinoma and endocrine) and the nuances to their appropriate diagnosis and management.
From this foundation we learn about the surgical and endoscopic techniques available for intervention. We cover endovascular and percutaneous approaches to liver tumors; the basics of hepatic resection and surgical treatment for biliary or gallbladder disease; lithotripsy and extraction of ductal stones; ERCP, biliary drainage, stenting, tissue ablation and dilatation; and pancreatic enucleation versus segmental resection or necrosectomy.
Finally, we discuss the common complications of these procedures, both immediate and long term, in regard to frequency, recognition and management.

Objectives
- Understand normal and common post-operative anatomy of the HPB system.
- Understand the terminology of liver segmentation and the liver pedicle.
- Understand the diagnostic and management principles of:
- Malignant processes such as intra-hepatic, peri-ampullary, pancreatic and biliary-derived tumors as well as
- Benign processes such as ductal stones, variations in anatomy (papillary, ductal or biliary tract), fistulas and strictures.
- Possess a basic understanding of the variety of pancreatic tumors and differences in diagnosis and management
- Understand the use of various imaging modalities for evaluation of HPB pathology, including:
- EUS
- ERCP
- Choledochoscopy
- Cholangiography
- CT scan
- MRI
- Understand the contraindications, indications and basic techniques of surgical and endoscopic HPB interventions such as:
- ERCP
- Tissue ablation
- Percutaneous catheterization
- Stenting
- Balloon dilatation
- Biliary drainage
- Liver resection
- Pancreatic resection (segmental vs. enucleation)
- Understand how to recognize and manage common complications from HPB interventions such as fistulas, structures, leaks and bleeding.
Biliary tract
Minimal access cholecystectomy
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy has been described almost thirty years ago. The technique has been refined over the years, but the risks of injury to the bile duct remain higher than the rates that had been identified in open surgery.
Bile duct injury during laparoscopic cholecystectomy?
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy has been described almost thirty years ago. The technique has been refined over the years, but the risk of injury to the bile duct remains higher than the rates that had been identified in open surgery.
Laparoscopic pancreatic surgery
More than twenty years after its original description, laparoscopic pancreatic surgery is now a validated approach that has shown significant advantages over traditional surgery.
ERCP for dummies, where to start ?
This lecture describes the basic of ERCP providing tips and tricks to succeed cannulation of the CBD and biliary sphincterotomy.
Endoscopic management of bile duct injuries
Bile duct injuries remain a problem inherent to the modern practice of cholecystectomy.
