Surgeons Convene in Jaipur to Discuss Advances in Liver and Biliary Surgery

Liver surgery experts from India and abroad gathered in Jaipur on Friday for the International Hepato Pancreato Biliary Association conference, focusing on the latest developments and best practices in liver and biliary tract surgery.

Participants discussed innovations in surgical techniques, approaches to complex liver resections and the expanding role of transplantation in managing advanced liver diseases. Delegates highlighted that improvements in training, multidisciplinary care and institutional protocols are critical to widening access to safe surgical options.

Several sessions addressed challenges specific to the Indian clinical context, including late stage presentation of liver disease, resource constraints and the need for enhanced post operative care infrastructure. International speakers shared insights from high volume centres and underscored the importance of structured training pathways for young surgeons.

Health professionals attending the event noted that liver disease remains a growing public health concern in India, driven by factors such as non alcoholic fatty liver disease alongside traditional infectious aetiologies. The conference provided a platform for exchange of evidence based practices and reiterated the need for coordinated efforts to improve outcomes.
