Hepatobiliary Surgery & Liver Transplantation

In keeping with the Vanderbilt century-long tradition of excellence in patient care, our approach to treatment uses careful assessment and selection to offer our patients the best long-term results. We employ procedures that our research and clinical experience have proven reliable, and we aggressively seek improved outcomes for our patients by integrating effective new procedures.

The staff of the Hepatobiliary Surgery and Liver Transplantation Program participate in a comprehensive medical-surgical-radiologic hepatobiliary referral service emphasizing diagnosis and medical management, liver resection, chemoembolization, RF ablation, alcohol injection, portasystemic shunting, TIPS, laparoscopic procedures, biliary bypass and percutaneous stenting as treatment options to liver transplantation.
