New Medical Center provides specialist assessment for conditions affecting the liver, gallbladder, bile ducts and pancreas. A hepatobiliary surgeon manages diseases within this closely connected system, while a pancreatic surgeon focuses on conditions that may require pancreatic surgery. At TNMC in Tsim Sha Tsui, patients may seek consultation for symptoms, abnormal blood tests, findings on ultrasound, CT or MRI, a diagnosed hepatobiliary or pancreatic condition, or a surgical second opinion.
Hepatobiliary and pancreatic diseases sometimes present with obvious symptoms, while others are asymptomatic. Common symptoms include right abdominal pain, upper abdominal pain, jaundice, and fever, often related to bile duct/pancreatic duct obstruction caused by gallstones or tumors. It's also important to note that some liver diseases can be asymptomatic; therefore, high-risk individuals are advised to have regular checkups.
When you are looking for a "hepatobiliary specialist" or a "pancreatic specialist in Hong Kong," we suggest you use these 5 questions to screen and prepare: What is your most certain diagnosis at present? (Gallstones? Liver cysts? Pancreatic cysts? Tumor suspected?)

What is hepatobiliary surgery?
Hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery is a specialized surgical specialty that treats diseases of the liver, gallbladder, bile ducts, and pancreas. It primarily handles cases requiring surgery or advanced treatment, such as tumors, gallstones, and severe inflammation.
What conditions does a hepatobiliary surgeon treat?
A hepatobiliary surgeon may assess gallstones, cholecystitis, bile duct stones or strictures, cholangitis, liver cysts or tumours, gallbladder and bile duct cancer, pancreatic cysts, pancreatitis and pancreatic tumours. Not every condition requires an operation; endoscopy, image-guided treatment, medicine or surveillance may be more appropriate.
What does a pancreatic surgeon do?
A pancreatic surgeon evaluates pancreatic diseases that may require an operation, including selected cysts, benign or malignant tumours and complications of pancreatitis. The surgeon reviews imaging, anatomy, tumour extent, overall health and other treatment options, usually within a multidisciplinary pathway.
Does every pancreatic cyst need surgery?
No. Many pancreatic cysts can be monitored. Surgery may be considered when the cyst type, symptoms, growth, duct changes, nodules, test results or other high-risk features create sufficient concern. Surveillance and treatment should be individualised rather than based on size alone.

How should I choose a hepatobiliary surgeon in Hong Kong?
Check the doctor's specialist registration and relevant experience, particularly with the diagnosis and proposed operation. Also consider access to radiology, pathology, oncology, anaesthesia, intensive care and postoperative support. Confirm where tests and surgery occur and how the team manages urgent concerns and complications.
