Hepatobiliary Oncology Surgery
Specializes in curative resection and transplant pathways for primary hepatocellular carcinoma and complex liver lesions.
- Anatomic liver resection protocols
- Pre‑operative portal vein embolization
- Margin‑negative (R0) surgical outcomes
Coordinates with oncology to integrate systemic agents into surgical planning.
Pancreatic Cancer Therapeutics
Leads trials evaluating multimodal approaches for borderline resectable pancreatic cancer and advanced pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.
- Neoadjuvant chemotherapy sequencing
- Vascular‑sparing pancreaticoduodenectomy
- Post‑operative adjuvant strategies
Focuses on improving long‑term survival through combined modality treatment.
Biliary Tract Cancer Management
Develops surgical and interventional protocols for cholangiocarcinoma and gallbladder carcinoma across disease stages.
- Extended hemi‑hepatectomy for hilar tumors
- Laparoscopic bile duct resection
- Intra‑operative fluorescence navigation
Integrates biliary drainage and oncologic therapies to optimize resectability.
Liver Metastases & Multidisciplinary Care
Focuses on surgical and ablative treatment of secondary liver disease such as colorectal liver metastases and neuroendocrine tumor deposits.
- Two‑stage hepatectomy planning
- Radiofrequency ablation adjuncts
- Multidisciplinary tumor board coordination
Seeks to align hepatic surgery with systemic and locoregional therapies.
Translational Surgical Innovation
