Summary
- I am a board certified general surgery with almost 30 years of clinical experience who specializes in liver transplantation (both adult and pediatric) and complex hepato-biliary surgery. My personal surgical experience in liver transplant is over 2000 cases, both adult, pediatric and split liver transplantation. My current practice also includes live and cadaver renal transplants in addition to kidney-pancreas transplants for end stage renal disease and patients with diabetes and chronic renal failure. Other areas of expertise are in pancreatic and liver surgery both for benign and malignant disease. In my current surgical practice, over 150 major hepatobiliary cases a year are performed including pancreatico-duodenectomy (Whipple procedure) as well as other complex liver resections for various liver related cancers (left, right hepatic lobectomy, left, right trisegmentectomy). My current title is the Chief of Abdominal Transplantation at Memorial Hermann Hospital Texas Medical Center and the Director of the Division of Abdominal Transplantation and Immunology, McGovern School of Medicine, University of Texas Houston.
