MANCHESTER HPB MASTERCLASS
8th & 9th June 2026. Voco Manchester City centre
I want to express my gratitude to Mr Thomas Satyadas and Mr Nicola de’Liguori-Carino for inviting me to be part of the faculty on this amazing HPB Masterclass.
They organised a very successful and high quality meeting.
I am honoured to be their friend
Three take home messages from this meeting:
1. Robotic HPB Surgery is not the future but the present. It is going to replace ADVANCED laparoscopic HPB SURGERY in the immediate future.
2. It was a compact, very esteemed meeting with high quality speakers. It should become a regular tradition bi annually in my opinion.
3. Central Manchester foundation Trust HPB Centre (Manchester Royal Infirmary) has become one of the leading HPB Centers in the UK and internationally. I am very glad to have been part of it in the past. Also to be able to visit them from time to time and interact with exceptional and gifted HPB Surgeons that I consider friends. They have become a fantastic team above all.
Until next time……2028!
