His qualifications, training, and 1,000+ surgeries explained: MBBS (DMC), FCPS in both General and Hepatobiliary-Pancreatic Surgery, Assistant Professor at Dhaka Medical College, and a Gyan Barman fellow trained under Padma Shri Prof. Samiran Nundy.

Choosing a surgeon for a liver, gallbladder, bile duct, or pancreas problem is one of the highest-stakes medical decisions a patient in Bangladesh will make. These are among the most technically demanding operations in all of surgery, and outcomes depend heavily on the surgeon's specific training, judgement, and case volume. This is why Dr. Kazi Mazharul Islam is regarded as one of the leading hepatobiliary-pancreatic and laparoscopic surgeons in Dhaka. Here is the record behind that reputation.

Qualifications that set him apart

Dr. Islam holds a depth of formal surgical qualification that few surgeons in the country match:

MBBS (DMC) — graduated with distinction from Dhaka Medical College, the top medical college in Bangladesh, in 2009.
BCS (Health) — ranked 50th in the 31st BCS, the national civil service examination.
MCPS (Surgery).
FCPS (Surgery) — achieved as the youngest government officer to do so.
FCPS (Hepatobiliary & Pancreatic Surgery) — one of the pioneer fellows (the 5th) in this super-specialty from the Bangladesh College of Physicians and Surgeons.

He is currently Assistant Professor of Surgery at Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH) — a teaching role that keeps his practice anchored to the country's busiest tertiary surgical unit.

Trained under world leaders in liver and pancreatic surgery

Beyond his Bangladeshi fellowships, Dr. Islam completed advanced international training as a Gyan Barman Fellow at Ganga Ram Hospital, New Delhi, where he was mentored by Padma Shri Professor Samiran Nundy — one of South Asia's most respected names in gastrointestinal and hepatobiliary surgery.

He has also participated in two liver transplant surgeries at BIRDEM Hospital, experience that places him among the small group of surgeons in Bangladesh exposed to the most complex hepatobiliary operations performed anywhere.

Experience measured in outcomes, not years alone

Volume is the single most reliable predictor of safety in hepatobiliary surgery. Dr. Islam brings:

12+ years of service at Dhaka Medical College and various government hospitals.
1,000+ hepatobiliary and pancreatic cancer surgeries performed.
Deep, current expertise in laparoscopic (minimally invasive) surgery — meaning smaller incisions, less pain, and faster recovery where the disease allows it.

The conditions he treats

Dr. Islam offers one-stop management across the three organ systems of his specialty:

Liver — liver cancer (surgical, medical, RFA, and transplant counselling), liver cysts and hydatid disease, liver abscess, and liver injury.
Gallbladder & bile ducts — gallbladder stones (laparoscopic cholecystectomy), bile duct stones (ERCP and surgery), gallbladder cancer, cholangiocarcinoma (Whipple's operation), and surgical jaundice.
Pancreas — acute and chronic pancreatitis, pancreatic cysts, tumours, and pancreatic stones.

A patient-first surgeon

Technical skill is only half of good surgical care. Dr. Islam is widely known as a humanitarian, socially active, and patient-friendly doctor — one who explains the diagnosis in plain language, walks patients honestly through their options and risks, and treats the decision to operate as seriously as the operation itself.
