Biliary Surgery: Specialized Care for Gallbladder and Bile Duct Disorders
The biliary system plays a vital role in digestion by producing and storing bile, a fluid that helps break down fats in the digestive process. However, disorders affecting the gallbladder and bile ducts can lead to serious health complications, such as gallstones, bile duct obstructions, or even cancer. When such conditions arise, biliary surgery is often necessary to restore function and prevent further complications.
Why Biliary Surgery is Important

Professor Md. Zulfiqur Rahman Khan, a highly skilled and internationally trained surgeon, specializes in the management and surgical treatment of biliary disorders. With his extensive experience and advanced training in biliary surgery, Professor Md. Zulfiqur Rahman Khan offers expert care for patients dealing with these complex conditions.
Types of Biliary Surgery
-
Gallbladder Surgery (Cholecystectomy)
The gallbladder can develop stones or become inflamed, leading to severe pain and complications. Cholecystectomy, the surgical removal of the gallbladder, is a common procedure to treat gallstone disease. Professor Md. Zulfiqur Rahman Khan performs both laparoscopic (minimally invasive) and open cholecystectomy procedures, ensuring optimal outcomes with minimal recovery time for his patients. -
Bile Duct Surgery
Obstructions or strictures in the bile ducts can cause bile to build up, leading to jaundice, infections, and liver damage. Surgery is often required to clear these obstructions or to repair damaged bile ducts. Professor Md. Zulfiqur Rahman Khan has vast experience in performing surgeries to treat bile duct obstructions and strictures, including procedures such as bile duct reconstruction and bile duct stent placement. -
Choledochal Cyst Surgery
Choledochal cysts are congenital bile duct cysts that can lead to infections, stones, or even cancer if left untreated. Surgical removal of the cyst and reconstruction of the bile ducts is typically required. Professor Md. Zulfiqur Rahman Khan specializes in treating choledochal cysts with advanced surgical techniques to ensure the best possible outcome for patients. -
Bile Duct Cancer Surgery (Cholangiocarcinoma)
Cholangiocarcinoma, or bile duct cancer, is a rare but aggressive form of cancer that requires immediate surgical intervention. Surgery may involve removing the affected portion of the bile duct or even a liver resection, depending on the tumor's location and size. Professor Md. Zulfiqur Rahman Khan is highly skilled in performing complex surgeries to treat bile duct cancer, offering patients the best chance for survival and recovery. -
Biliary Fistula Surgery
Biliary fistulas are abnormal connections between the bile ducts and other organs or the abdominal cavity. These can result from injury, surgery, or infection. Surgical correction of biliary fistulas is necessary to prevent further complications. Professor Md. Zulfiqur Rahman Khan has extensive experience in repairing biliary fistulas and restoring normal function to the biliary system.
