    Operating theatre — 1500+ gallbladder and hepatobiliary surgeries by Dr. Arefin, Dhaka

    Surgical Volume

    1500+ Gallbladder & Hepatobiliary Surgeries Performed in Dhaka

    Dr. Murshidul Arefin has performed over 1500 gallbladder, liver, and bile-duct procedures at Popular Medical College Hospital, Dhanmondi. High volume is the single strongest predictor of safe outcomes in gallbladder surgery.

    Why surgical volume matters for gallbladder removal

    Published data consistently link high-volume hepatobiliary surgeons to lower bile-duct injury rates, fewer conversions from laparoscopic to open surgery, and shorter hospital stays. Therefore, choosing a surgeon who performs laparoscopic cholecystectomy weekly — not occasionally — measurably improves your outcome.

    What 1500+ cases looks like in practice

    The caseload spans routine symptomatic gallstones, acute cholecystitis, Mirizzi syndrome, intra-operative bile-duct findings, and re-do biliary surgery. Consequently, unexpected operative findings are handled in the same theatre rather than triggering a referral. Moreover, this volume informs the standardised protocols used here — pre-op imaging review, port placement, critical-view-of-safety dissection, and same-day discharge planning.

    What you should ask any Dhaka gallbladder surgeon

    Before booking, ask any surgeon: how many gallbladder operations do you perform per month? A clear, specific answer signals genuine focus. Furthermore, ask for their personal bile-duct injury rate — sub-specialists track this metric openly. Finally, request a second-opinion review on outside reports.
