Mehrdad Nikfarjam MD
My training has been within the field of general surgery, with specialization in Advanced Liver, Pancreas and Biliary surgery. I received my board certification in surgery in Australia after which I continued with further training the USA in Liver, Pancreas and Foregut Surgery and Minimally Invasive Laparoscopic and Endoscopic surgery. This included clinical surgery at Penn State University, Hershey Medical Center, Hershey, Pennsylvania, working as a surgical oncologist, treating complex pancreas, liver, foregut and retroperitoneal cancers. Clinical surgery at Case Western Reserve University, University Hospitals, Cleveland, Ohio as an Advanced minimally invasive Laproendoscopic surgeon. Surgical observation and research was also conducted at Harvard University, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, Massachusetts. I have a particular interest in liver, biliary and pancreatic cancer, including treatment of locally advanced or borderline resectable cancer. I also have an interest in re-operative liver and pancreatic surgery and strongly feel that no patient should be denied the possibility of surgical cure, no matter how difficult the case may be. I have specialized training in advanced laparoscopic pancreas and liver surgery and am one of the few surgeons in Australia who performs laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (Laparoscopic Whipple's Procedure). I also offer single incision and needlescopic gallbladder surgery.
I am experienced in other Advanced minimally invasive surgery including laparoscopic hernia surgery, foregut surgery (including laparoscopic gastric and paraesophageal surgery), Endoscopic Reterograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and direct diaphragmatic pacing.
