What sets the department apart is not just the surgical skill, but the ethos of patient-centered care. Every patient receives careful counselling, transparent communication, and empathetic support. Enhanced recovery pathways (ERAS), stringent infection control, perioperative optimisation, and robust safety checklists ensure world-class standards of care.

From the early days of performing advanced resections for GI cancers, major liver resections, and biliary reconstructions, the department rapidly established protocols for patient safety, perioperative care, and quality assurance. Critical thinking and evidence-based decision-making became the cornerstones of every clinical discussion and operative plan.

Multidisciplinary Collaboration:

Over time, the department has come to perform a wide range of open, laparoscopic, and advanced minimally invasive procedures, including:

• Anaesthesia and Critical Care for safe high-risk surgery and ICU support.
• Gastroenterology for endoscopic and ERCP interventions.
• Interventional Radiology for embolisation of pseudoaneurysms, image-guided drainage, and vascular access.
• Radiology and Nuclear Medicine for advanced diagnostic imaging and intraoperative guidance.
• Medical and Radiation Oncology for multimodal cancer treatment through tumour boards.
• Pathology for frozen sections and histopathology support.
• Physiotherapy, Nutrition, Nursing, and Allied Health Sciences for holistic care and enhanced recovery.

This multidisciplinary approach ensures that every patient benefits from the collective expertise of multiple teams, resulting in safer, more effective, and compassionate outcomes.
