About Dr. Bikash Nepal
Dr. Bikash Nepal brings a standard of surgical training that is rare in Nepal — and increasingly in demand. His MS from AIIMS New Delhi and MCh in Surgical Gastroenterology from PGIMER Chandigarh represent the pinnacle of surgical training in South Asia. He adds to that an international observer at Cleveland Clinic Florida, one of the world's leading centres for colorectal surgery.
At KCC, he leads GI and HPB cancer surgery within a multidisciplinary team. Every case goes through the Tumour Board — radiation oncologist, medical oncologist, and surgeon together — so patients receive a coordinated plan, not just an operation.
Previously, he served as Chief Consultant Surgeon & Assoc. Professor at Bir Hospital, NAMS, Kathmandu, where he built Nepal's HPB surgical programme and mentored surgical trainees for 8 years.
Multidisciplinary. Protocol-Driven. Complete Care.
Dr. Bikash Nepal believes that surgery is never an isolated event but one step in a carefully coordinated treatment pathway. Every patient's case is discussed in the Multidisciplinary Tumor Board, integrating surgical, medical, and radiation oncology to deliver evidence-based, protocol-driven care from diagnosis through survivorship.

Areas of Expertise
Cancer Types Treated
Pancreatic Cancer
Whipple's procedure and complex pancreatic surgery for pancreatic malignancies.
Colorectal Cancer
Anterior resection, APR, sphincter-preserving operations, and HIPEC for peritoneal spread.
Liver Cancer
Hepatic resections and biliary reconstructions for primary and metastatic liver tumours.
Surgical Procedures Performed at KCC
Whipple's Procedure
Pancreaticoduodenectomy for pancreatic head and periampullary cancers; a complex operation requiring reconstruction of the bile duct, pancreas, and stomach.
Performed with mortality and complication rates comparable to major Indian cancer centres.
Hepatic Resection
Liver resection for primary liver cancer (HCC) and metastatic disease (e.g., colorectal liver metastases).
Emphasis on parenchymal-sparing techniques to preserve healthy liver tissue.
Biliary Reconstruction
Reconstruction of bile ducts after resection of hilar cholangiocarcinoma or gallbladder cancer.
Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy with low anastomotic leak rates.
Complex Pancreatic Surgery
Distal pancreatectomy, total pancreatectomy, and central pancreatectomy for pancreatic body/tail tumours.
Multidisciplinary perioperative care reduces complications.
Anterior Resection
Sphincter-preserving surgery for rectal cancer, avoiding permanent colostomy when possible.
High rate of sphincter preservation with negative margins.
APR (Abdominoperineal Resection)
Combined abdominal and perineal resection for low rectal cancers where sphincter preservation is not possible.
Curative resection with permanent colostomy.
Sphincter-Preserving Operations
Ultra-low anterior resection and intersphincteric resection for very low rectal cancers.
Preserves bowel continuity and quality of life.
HIPEC (Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy)
Cytoreductive surgery followed by heated intraperitoneal chemotherapy for peritoneal carcinomatosis.
Life-extending procedure for select patients with peritoneal spread.
Laparoscopic Colorectal Surgery
Minimally invasive resection for colon and rectal cancer.
Faster recovery, less pain, and shorter hospital stay.
