NYU Langone hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgeons are renowned worldwide for their skill and expertise in caring for people with benign and cancerous conditions that affect the liver, pancreas, bile duct, and gallbladder. Our mastery of open, minimally invasive, laparoscopic, and robotic-assisted procedures, along with our relentless dedication to quality, enable us to treat all disorders of these organs, including the rarest and most highly complex, with outstanding outcomes.
Excellence in Cancer Care
We are part of Perlmutter Cancer Center, an NCI-Designated Comprehensive Cancer Center.
We provide care for people with cancers of the bile duct, gallbladder, liver, and pancreas through Perlmutter Cancer Center. Our surgical team at the Pancreatic Cancer Center has built a reputation as being among the best in the nation for pancreatic procedures. Our surgeons routinely perform the robotic Whipple operation and removal of tumors with major blood vessel involvement—often those that other hospitals consider inoperable. Highly specialized surgeons at our Liver Tumor Program can perform essentially any operation necessary to treat cancer, ranging from robotic liver resections to liver transplantation.
Histotripsy for Liver Cancer
We are the first hospital system in New York City to offer this groundbreaking technology. Histotripsy, a noninvasive form of focused ultrasound, destroys liver tumors on a subcellular level, offering unprecedented precision.
The team at NYU Langone’s Pancreatic Disease Program specializes in treating people with pancreatitis, pancreatic cysts, pancreatic tumors, and pancreatic cancer. They also offer genetic testing and counseling for people who may be at increased risk of developing pancreatic cancer due to family history or other risk factors.
Members of our team are part of the NYU Langone Transplant Institute—where we offer exceptional care that incorporates the latest technological advancements in liver, living donor liver, liver–kidney, pancreas, and kidney–pancreas transplants. Our high-volume liver transplant program performs 100+ transplants annually. We have the highest one-year patient survival rate in New York State, and a 100 percent one-year survival rate for people receiving a liver from a living donor.
The Latino Liver Program provides Hispanic and Latino children and adults with culturally conscious care.
Liver transplants for children are offered by the Pediatric Liver Disease and Transplant Program at Hassenfeld Children’s Hospital at NYU Langone.
Excellence in Locally Advanced Pancreatic Cancer
Our program is among the few worldwide specializing in advanced vascular techniques: these allow us to remove tumors most other programs thought were inoperable.
Our team is skilled in the most advanced minimally invasive and robotic surgical techniques, which we offer at all of our locations: Tisch Hospital, Kimmel Pavilion, NYU Langone Hospital—Brooklyn, and NYU Langone Hospital—Long Island. Our operating rooms are among the most technologically advanced in the nation, with many featuring imaging systems that reveal tumors on a microscopic scale.
We are the highest-volume robotic pancreatectomy program in New York State and one of the highest-volume robotic hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery programs in the nation.
We are among the only teams in the world to offer vascular reconstruction after partial or total pancreatectomy for locally advanced pancreatic cancer. This complex procedure can in many cases lead to remission of the disease.
In addition, we perform all surgical procedures to treat disorders of the liver, pancreas, bile duct, and gallbladder, including the following.
