Section of Hepatobiliary and
Intra-abdominal Transplantation
The
section of intra-abdominal transplantation has recently initiated a
liver tumor clinic. This is in response to the success that the liver
transplantation program has enjoyed. This clinic is a multidisciplinary clinic
in which all types of patients with liver or bile duct-related problems are
seen.
During
the past year, this clinic has seen over 200 new patients with chronic liver
disease and has performed close to 100 hepatobiliary operations. We
have numerous therapies available for treatment of liver tumors. These
therapies include liver resections, radiofrequency ablation, and ytirium based
therapy.
In
addition, the clinic has seen a number of patients with biliary problems.
These are all evaluated in the clinic and discussed at a multidisciplinary
meeting.
The
section of transplantation continues to make strides to improve and grow through
ongoing clinical and research projects. We welcome all new referrals and any
other patients that may benefit from our expertise.
