In addition to adult abdominal organ transplantation, the transplant team treats complex hepatobiliary problems. Our surgeons perform major hepatobiliary and pancreatic resections as well as shunting procedures for portal hypertension, including mesocaval shunts. The transplant surgeons work in conjunction with interventional radiologists to perform Transjuglar Intrahepetic Portosystemic Shunt (TIPS) procedures.
Willis-Knighton is the first hospital in north Louisiana to offer cryosurgical treatment of liver tumors. This technically advanced procedure can be an effective treatment for otherwise unresectable primary and metastatic liver tumors and is performed by our transplant surgeons.
