It currently has 16 physicians, including 5 with senior professional titles and 4 with doctoral degrees. It has 52 operational beds and is equipped with internationally advanced equipment, including a da Vinci IV surgical robot, an integrated operating room, a fluorescence endoscopy system, a liver-transection ultrasonic aspirator system, and other equipment. It performs complex minimally invasive procedures involving the liver, biliary tract, pancreas, and spleen with robotic assistance and laparoscopic techniques; its techniques are mature and its concepts advanced. The team takes “minimally invasive treatment and rapid recovery” as its goal, uses “integrated diagnosis and treatment combining traditional Chinese and Western medicine” as its means, and regards “organ function-preserving techniques” as its hallmark; it routinely performs minimally invasive gallbladder-preserving surgery, robot-assisted and laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy, pancreatic body-and-tail resection, hemihepatectomy, complex liver cancer resection, and other procedures.
