This is a research study that gathers information from patients who have undergone surgery for conditions affecting the liver, pancreas, or bile ducts. Researchers want to track how these patients recover after surgery and how well the treatments work over time. The goal is to understand what outcomes patients experience and use that knowledge to improve care for future patients.
Many patients need surgery to treat serious liver, pancreas, or bile duct diseases, but doctors want better information about which surgical approaches work best and how to predict and prevent complications. By collecting detailed information from hundreds of patients, this research can help identify patterns in recovery and guide doctors in making the best treatment decisions.

If you are a past patient, researchers will review your existing surgical records and medical information from the hospital. If you are having surgery in the future, you will be asked to consent to the study, and your surgical records and follow-up information will be tracked and analyzed. There are no additional visits or procedures required beyond your normal surgical care and follow-up appointments.
