Acute cholecystitis dominates the hepatobiliary work of most general surgery units, and the sample titles reflect that. They compare early with delayed laparoscopic cholecystectomy, validate Tokyo Guidelines severity grading, test procalcitonin for gangrenous change and look for preoperative predictors of a difficult operation. Bile culture, CT for complications and outcomes in diabetic patients round out the list.

The practical hurdle is timing. Early-surgery comparisons only work if your theatre lists can take patients within the window you define, and interval-surgery groups need reliable contact details so recurrent biliary events are captured while they wait. Pancreatic and liver topics are possible in units with an HPB service, but case load should be checked against records before registration.

4Tips for a Hepatobiliary & Pancreatic Surgery thesis

  • Grade every patient with the Tokyo Guidelines 2018 criteria at admission, recording each component, so severity groups can be reproduced by an examiner reading your proforma.
  • Define a difficult laparoscopic cholecystectomy objectively, for example by operative time, conversion or a published intraoperative difficulty grading, before you start recruiting.
  • Aspirate bile for culture at cholecystectomy under sterile conditions, and link isolates to wound or intra-abdominal infection recorded on a fixed postoperative schedule.
