HPB Surgeon in Thane

HPB stands for hepato-pancreato-biliary: the liver, pancreas, gallbladder and bile ducts. Dr. Saneya Pandrowala is an HPB surgeon in Thane who completed a dedicated HPB oncology fellowship at Tata Memorial Hospital. She operates on cancers of these organs at KIMS Hospital, Thane, including Whipple surgery for pancreatic cancer and liver resection.

Conditions an HPB surgeon treats

• Liver cancer and liver metastases
• Pancreatic cancer and pancreatic tumours
• Gallbladder cancer
• Bile duct cancer (cholangiocarcinoma)

Common HPB operations

• Whipple procedure (pancreaticoduodenectomy): for tumours in the head of the pancreas.
• Distal pancreatectomy: for tumours in the body or tail of the pancreas.
• Liver resection (hepatectomy): removes the part of the liver with the tumour.
• Radical cholecystectomy: removes the gallbladder with part of the liver and lymph nodes for gallbladder cancer.
• Bile duct excision and reconstruction: for bile duct cancers.

Why HPB surgery needs a specialist

These operations are technically demanding. Results are better when they are done by surgeons trained in HPB surgery, in a hospital with an ICU, interventional radiology and endoscopy support.

Focus on pancreatic cancer

Dr. Saneya is an NCCN framework reviewer for pancreatic adenocarcinoma (v1.2024), has published in the journal HPB, and is the Asia-Pacific Representative (2024–2026) of the IHPBA Early Career Group.
