Arthur J. Richardson is a Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary Surgeon based in Westmead, NSW. You’ll find the clinic at the corner of Hawkesbury and Darcy Rd, Westmead. This area of surgery deals with organs like the liver, gallbladder, bile ducts and pancreas, and the problems that can happen there.
Arthur looks after people with a range of issues in the abdomen. That can include gallbladder disease and gallstones, as well as conditions like cholecystitis. At times, symptoms such as jaundice can be linked to problems with the bile ducts or liver, and he helps assess and plan care for those situations.
Some patients need surgery for cancers in this region. This may include bile duct cancer (cholangiocarcinoma), liver cancer, and pancreatic cancer. There are also cases where surgery may be part of treatment for other bowel conditions, including colorectal cancer and small bowel problems, depending on what’s going on.
For people who need more complex operations, Arthur performs procedures such as gallbladder removal, hepatectomy, pancreatectomy, and pancreatectomy-type work. He also does pancreaticoduodenectomy when it’s the right option, as well as endoscopic steps and tissue biopsy when doctors need clearer answers before deciding on next steps.
Over time, insulinoma and other uncommon hormone-related conditions can also come through his care. In these cases, getting the right diagnosis and planning surgery carefully can make a big difference to outcomes. Arthur aims to keep things practical and clear, so patients understand what the next step is and why it matters.
