"Pancreatic and hepatobiliary surgery" is surgery of the pancreas, liver, and bile ducts, including the gallbladder.
We at Saint Agnes Medical Group, Maryland Surgeons believe that the relationship between patient and surgeon is crucially important to providing top-notch and personalized care.
Our surgeons work closely with our patients to ensure that the best possible treatment is provided in a caring and compassionate setting. We aim to ensure our patients understand clearly their disease and how each treatment option will benefit them.
Saint Agnes Medical Group, Maryland Surgeons are highly skilled in pancreatic and hepatobiliary surgery and use state of the art equipment and advanced techniques when they perform surgery. Depending upon the patient, our surgeons can perform minimally invasive (laparoscopic or robotic) surgery. These surgical techniques offer easier recovery, increased precision, and improved cosmetic outcomes.
