HPB surgeons utilize several techniques, prioritizing patient safety, recovery, and precision.
| Approach | Description | Key Benefits |
| Open Surgery | The traditional method using a large incision to access the organs. | Necessary for the most complex cases, very large tumors, or extensive reconstruction. |
| Minimally Invasive (Laparoscopic) Surgery | Several small “keyhole” incisions are used. The surgeon operates with a camera (laparoscope) and long, thin instruments. | Smaller scars, less pain, and a faster overall recovery compared to open surgery. |
| Robotic-Assisted Surgery | An advanced form of laparoscopic surgery where the surgeon controls robotic arms. | Offers enhanced 3D visualization, greater precision, and dexterity, which is crucial for intricate HPB procedures. |
