The University of Cincinnati (UC) is a leader in surgical innovation and development of new technologies for use in liver surgery. Surgical treatment of liver disease is more common today than ever before as safety and efficacy have increased. Through collaborative relationships between UC, the UC Division of Transplantation, the UC Center for Surgical Innovation (CSI) and the medical industry, we have developed and validated minimally invasive surgery (MIS) techniques. MIS uses laparoscopy to perform surgery without making large incisions in the patient's abdomen. This kind of surgery minimizes the side effects and stresses of traditional surgery. Such technology and procedures provides UC an opportunity to offer more choices in the treatment of liver diseases.
This web site offers a lot of information on laparoscopic surgery for both the patient and physician. It is our sincere hope that this platform provides you with information that adds value to the management of your health.
