Hepatobiliary Surgery & Whipple Procedure | Specialist Care
Specialized surgical care for diseases affecting the liver, pancreas, gall bladder, and bile ducts. We perform high-complexity procedures including the Whipple surgery (pancreaticoduodenectomy) for pancreatic cancer and cysts, with excellent recovery outcomes. The hepatobiliary system is highly complex, and treating its conditions requires advanced training and surgical precision.
The Whipple procedure is one of the most demanding surgeries in general surgery, involving the removal of the head of the pancreas, the duodenum, part of the bile duct, and the gallbladder. Dr. Cesar Gonzalez performs this procedure using precise techniques to reconstruct the digestive tract, ensuring optimal recovery and preserving pancreatic function. This surgery is highly effective for localized pancreatic tumors, cholangiocarcinoma, and duodenal cancers.
In addition to the Whipple procedure, we offer liver resections (lobectomy and segmentectomy) for primary liver cancer, metastatic liver lesions, and benign tumors. We also specialize in treating biliary tract disorders, including bile duct strictures, gallbladder cancer, and complex biliary reconstructions. Our clinical center in Mexicali is equipped with specialized surgical devices and an intensive care team to manage post-operative recovery safely.
