Hepato-bilio-pancreatic surgery (HBP) and liver transplantation

The application of artificial intelligence methods for organ assessment. LiverColor a method to assess liver graft for liver steatosis. We are also applying the artificial intelligence for elaboration of a pancreatitis severity prediction algorithm using matching learning techniques. We are Agaur research team. Immunosuppression and liver transplantation. Management of immunosuppressants in pediatric and adult liver transplantation and in evaluating their effects in short and long-term follow-up. Transplant Oncology. Liver transplantation in unresectable perihiliar cholangiocarcinoma and colorectal liver metastases. Pancreatic Cancer. Genetic molecular profile and tumor recurrence after pancreatectomy for pancreatic cancer. Liver Surgical Oncology. Use of fluorescence in liver cancer surgery. We also investigate the correlation of the value of preoperative functional and volumetric studies with standard parameters in patients undergoing extensive hepatectomy.
