When to consult
Questions an HPB specialist review can address
Liver, pancreatic and bile-duct findings cover a wide range of conditions. A consultation helps connect symptoms, test results and earlier treatment to the most appropriate next step.
Liver or bile-duct scan finding
An ultrasound, CT, MRI or other report describing a liver lesion, bile-duct change or another HPB abnormality.
Pancreatic concern or follow-up
Questions after pancreatitis care, a pancreatic scan finding, fluid collection or another previously evaluated concern.
Jaundice or bile-flow concern
Yellowing of the skin or eyes, itching, dark urine or a reported bile-duct obstruction that needs timely clinical assessment.
Complex report or surgical opinion
Understanding whether monitoring, more tests, multidisciplinary review, another specialty or surgical planning may be appropriate.
Consultation pathway
Review complex HPB findings in context
The sequence of symptoms, investigations and earlier care can be as important as any single test result.

Clinical review
Organise the full history
Discuss symptoms, earlier illness, procedures, medicines and the sequence of imaging, laboratory, endoscopy or pathology findings. - 02
Question definition
Clarify what the findings need to answer
Determine whether more imaging, endoscopic assessment, another specialist opinion or multidisciplinary review could change care. - 03
Coordinated plan
Connect the case to the right next step
The plan may include surveillance, further evaluation, non-surgical management, a procedure discussion or referral to an appropriate team.
Care coordination
One report is only part of an HPB assessment
Liver, pancreas and bile-duct concerns may require input from radiology, gastroenterology, oncology, pathology, anaesthesia or other teams. The consultation helps define which expertise is relevant and when.
If a procedure or admission is being considered, its purpose, alternatives, suitable hospital, team, preparation and follow-up arrangements should be clarified before scheduling.

Browse all patient FAQsCan I book with only a scan report?

Does an HPB consultation always lead to surgery?
No. Monitoring, more evaluation, non-surgical care, endoscopic treatment or another specialist opinion may be the appropriate next step.
May another team need to review the case?
Yes. Some liver, pancreas and bile-duct concerns benefit from coordinated review across more than one specialty.
Will the consultation confirm where treatment would happen?
If a procedure or admission is advised, the appropriate hospital or facility, team, preparation and follow-up arrangements will be confirmed separately before scheduling.
