Laparoscopic Liver and Pancreas Surgery

Minimally Invasive (Laparoscopic/Robotic) Liver & Pancreas Surgery

For many years open surgery, which requires a large incision across the abdomen, remained as the standard technique for treatment of many abdominal diseases. With advances in technology, laparoscopic surgery through tiny incisions has gained popularity among the patients.

Liver and pancreas surgeries are amongst the most complex abdominal surgeries. Due to its complexity, performing laparoscopic liver and pancreas surgery requires a surgeon’s higher level of expertise.

The advantages of laparoscopic liver and pancreas surgery are:

• Less pain
• Less chance of infection
• Less hospital stay
• Quicker healing time and return to normal activity
• Quicker initiation of potential chemotherapy
• Improved cosmesis

Arrowhead Regional Medical Center’s Cancer Surgery program is one of a few minimally invasive liver and pancreas surgery programs in the Los Angeles area that proudly provides cutting-edge service to the Inland Empire community.
