Ongoing Research & Clinical Interests

• Surgical outcomes in borderline resectable pancreatic cancer
• Laparoscopic hepatectomy outcomes in HCC
• Bile duct reconstruction techniques in Klatskin tumours

A patient with borderline resectable pancreatic head adenocarcinoma underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by Whipple's procedure under Dr. Zaidi's care, achieving R0 resection margins and disease-free survival at 18-month follow-up.

A patient with bilobar colorectal liver metastases underwent two-stage hepatectomy with portal vein embolisation, achieving complete clearance of all metastatic lesions with preservation of adequate hepatic reserve.

• Confidence in High-Risk Surgery: Patients and families commend Dr. Zaidi for taking on complex HPB cases deemed inoperable elsewhere, with transparent pre-operative risk communication.
• Thorough Pre-operative Planning: Reviewers highlight his meticulous imaging review and multidisciplinary tumour board involvement before every major liver or pancreatic procedure.
• Diligent Post-operative Care: Patients note his hands-on involvement in post-operative recovery, particularly for complications management after major hepatic surgery.

Patient-Centred Care

Dr. S. M. Shuaib Zaidi believes that every HPB cancer case deserves multidisciplinary review before a surgical decision is finalised. He presents all suitable cases at tumour board conferences, integrating input from medical oncology, radiology, and gastroenterology before advising surgery. He takes time to explain the technical complexity of procedures like Whipple's or liver resection to patients and families in accessible terms, and maintains structured follow-up protocols with oncology teams post-surgery.

Technology & Innovation

Dr. Zaidi employs intraoperative ultrasonography for real-time liver mapping, laparoscopic HPB surgical platforms for minimally invasive resections, and portal vein embolisation techniques to augment future liver remnant before major hepatectomy. He collaborates with interventional radiology for radiofrequency ablation and trans-arterial chemoembolisation (TACE) as part of multimodal liver tumour management.
