Liver, Pancreas & Gallbladder Surgeon in Melbourne
I provide specialist surgery for liver, pancreatic, biliary and gallbladder conditions, using robotic, minimally invasive and open approaches as appropriate. For selected patients, robotic and minimally invasive surgery can offer smaller incisions and may support a faster recovery, while maintaining the principles of safe, high-quality surgery. The most appropriate approach is individually determined based on each patient’s condition, tumour characteristics and overall health.

His approach prioritizes evidence-based care, multidisciplinary collaboration, and tailored treatment plans that reflect each patient’s individual condition, goals, and circumstances.
The spleen plays a vital role in the body's immune system. Whenever it is safe and appropriate, preserving the spleen may help maintain normal immune function while achieving effective treatment of pancreatic disease.
In this video, I explain why preserving the spleen is an important goal during selected pancreatic operations and demonstrate how modern and advanced surgery allows precise dissection while maintaining the spleen's blood supply.
