Introduction to the Program
Take advantage of this unique online catch-up opportunity to improve your skills and update your knowledge in an increasingly important medical specialty in modern medicine"
In the last decade, Hepatobiliary Oncologic Surgery has experienced a great advance in the understanding of the surgical anatomy of the liver, biliary tract, and the application of minimally invasive surgical techniques. The importance of this medical specialty lies in the fact that liver and biliary tract tumors represent a significant burden to world health, due to their high incidence and mortality.
Hepatobiliary Oncologic Surgery focuses on diagnosing and treating liver tumors, biliary tract tumors and liver metastases effectively and preserving liver and biliary function. In order to improve specialization in this specialty, TECH has designed this Postgraduate certificate in Hepatobiliary Oncologic Surgery, aimed at physicians specializing in general surgery, digestive surgery, oncology, interventional radiology, among others.
This Postgraduate certificate in Hepatobiliary Oncologic Surgery of TECH addresses specific topics in two modules, covering from the surgical anatomy of the liver and biliary tract, diagnostic tests in hepatobiliary pathology, assessment of residual liver volume and function, principles of liver surgery, to surgery of biliary tract tumors, endoscopic and interventional treatment of bile duct and gallbladder tumors, and liver metastases of colorectal cancer, neuroendocrine, and others.
Advances in Hepatobiliary Oncologic Surgery have led to the application of less invasive surgical techniques, such as laparoscopic and robotic surgery, which allow for faster patient recovery and a reduction in postoperative complications. In addition, Hepatobiliary Oncological Surgery has experienced a significant advance in the identification of new biomarkers and specific therapies for liver tumors, which has significantly improved patient survival.

Postgraduate Certificate in Hepatobiliary Oncologic Surgery
Hepatobiliary surgery is a surgical specialty that deals with the treatment of disorders of the liver, gallbladder, bile ducts, pancreas and other structures of the biliary system. This includes the treatment of diseases such as gallstones (stones in the gallbladder), liver disease, liver tumors, pancreatitis, among others. At TECH Global University we have this specialized program designed to provide surgeons with specialized knowledge and skills in the diagnosis, treatment and management of hepatobiliary diseases.
This specialty focuses on the diagnosis and surgical treatment of diseases and disorders related to the organs of the upper abdomen. Operations may be performed by open procedures or through minimally invasive techniques, such as laparoscopy, which use small incisions and a camera to see inside the body. Hepatobiliary surgery is a complex field, as it requires a thorough understanding of the anatomy of the liver and biliary system, as well as the diseases and disorders that can affect these organs. Among the diseases treated with hepatobiliary surgery are gallstone disease, liver cirrhosis, viral hepatitis, liver tumors, tumors and pancreatitis.
