A High Degree of Experience in Treating Liver Conditions
Some gastroenterologists and surgeons at the AdventHealth Digestive Institute Tampa have specific training in treating conditions of the liver. The liver is thought to have about 500 functions, and it is absolutely essential to digestion. In fact, the liver is so important that it is the body’s only organ that can regenerate itself. Unfortunately, diseases brought on by poor lifestyle habits, viruses and just plain bad luck can affect the liver.
Our Approach to Liver Care
At AdventHealth Digestive Institute Tampa, liver conditions are diagnosed and treated with medications, outpatient procedures and surgery. When treating cancer or non-cancerous tumors, our surgeons work with hepatologists and other cancer specialists to come up with the best care plan for each individual patient. If surgery is necessary, Dr. Iswanto Sucandy and Dr. Alexander Rosemurgy, our liver surgeons, are highly experienced in using minimally invasive techniques. Because the large majority of our patients do not need a large incision, they experience easier and faster recoveries. Not all area centers are able to provide minimally invasive liver surgery, which requires a highly experienced surgeon like those at AdventHealth Digestive Institute Tampa.
If you are interested in receiving leading-edge care for a liver condition or cancer, call the AdventHealth Digestive Institute Tampa at Call813-615-7557 for an appointment.
