Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Disorders

Hepatobiliary and pancreatic disorders are some of the commonest disorders of the digestive system. The hepatopancreatobiliary system has a complex embryological development and therefore is subject to anomalies that may sometimes have deleterious implications on the body physiology, besides being associated with a spectrum of acquired problems that require specialized training to tackle surgically. Gallstone disease is one of the most prevalent gastrointestinal diseases with a substantial burden on the health care system. Pathogenesis is multifactorial and prevalence has increased in recent years amongst all segments of society probably due to changes in life style, alteration in dietary patterns, altered physical activity.
