It has rapidly developed into a medical, teaching and research platform with the core of clinical treatment of complex hepatobiliary and pancreatic diseases. Comprehensive treatment and individualized treatment of complex hepatobiliary and pancreatic malignancies mainly based on surgery; Minimally invasive treatment of cholelithiasis by laparoscopy, duodenoscopy and choledochoscopy is the clinical characteristic and advantage of Hepatobiliary Surgery.
The Department currently has 10 members devoted to medicine, teaching and research, including 1 academician, 2 chief physicians/professors, 1 associate chief physicians, 2 attending doctors and 4 residents. 70% of the members are under 45 years old, and 100% have a doctoral or master’s degree.
