Illustrative case based on publicly reported patient journeys

FromSouth Asia

Age60–69

SpecialtyHepatobiliary surgery

TimelineRemote review in 1 week; diagnosis and surgery within ~3 weeks of arrival

OutcomeCurative-intent surgery, discharged to recover at home

Recurring jaundice was treated with repeated stents, but biopsies never gave a diagnosis.

A surgeon reviewed the prior scans remotely, suspected a hilar bile duct tumour and advised a targeted endoscopic biopsy before any operation.

With the diagnosis confirmed, a multidisciplinary team planned and performed surgery; the patient went home with a follow-up plan.
