About Dr. Sabuj Kumar Patra
The Surgeon Who Diagnoses AND Operates — Not Just One or the Other
The Surgeon Who Diagnoses AND Operates — Not Just One or the Other
Most patients see a physician to diagnose, a radiologist to read the scan, and a surgeon to operate — three waiting rooms, three retellings of the same story. Dr. Sabuj Kumar Patra does all three himself for liver, gallbladder, bile duct, and pancreatic conditions.
Dr. Sabuj Kumar Patra is a Junior Consultant in the Department of Hepatobiliary, Pancreatic and Liver Transplant Surgery at Bangladesh Medical University (BMU), Dhaka. With over 15 years of surgical experience — beginning at the district level and advancing to a national tertiary referral center — he has built a reputation for careful diagnosis, technical precision, and clear communication with patients and families facing serious diagnoses.
He is currently completing his MS in Hepatobiliary Surgery, training directly under senior liver transplant specialists and gaining hands-on exposure to living-donor liver transplantation, complex liver resections, and advanced pancreatic surgery.
Dr. Patra's career reflects a steady rise through some of Bangladesh's most demanding public hospital postings — a path that builds the kind of hands-on surgical judgment that cannot be taught in a classroom:

Why this matters: A surgeon actively engaged in research stays at the edge of what's medically possible, applying evidence-based protocols directly to your care.
Whether you are facing a new diagnosis, an unclear scan result, or want a second opinion from a specialist, Dr. Patra will read your case himself — and tell you plainly what it means and what happens next.
