Area of Science:

  • Thoracic surgery
  • Minimally invasive procedures
  • Pain management

Background:

  • Chronic pancreatic pain, often from alcohol-related pancreatitis or cancer, significantly impacts patient quality of life.
  • Splanchnicectomy, the division of splanchnic nerves, is a recognized surgical approach for palliating such pain.
  • Traditional surgical methods can be invasive, prompting interest in less invasive alternatives.
