Why choose Johns Hopkins?

Johns Hopkins is one of the few centers in the country that performs liver and pancreas operations with both the traditional open method and minimally invasive operations, including robotic and laparoscopic procedures. Our treatments, which utilize a minimally invasive approach, include the Whipple procedure, auto islet surgery, bile duct resections, and liver resections.

High Volume
Johns Hopkins performs more pancreas surgeries than any other institution in the United States. Each year, our surgeons perform more than 500 pancreatectomies, including approximately 350 Whipple procedures.

Minimally Invasive Surgery
Our experienced surgeons perform advanced surgical techniques for liver and pancreas operations using minimally-invasive procedures.

Unresectable Pancreatic Cancer
Johns Hopkins is one of the few hospitals that specializes in diagnosing and treating unresectable pancreatic cancer. Our team will determine if apparent unresectable tumors may be resectable.
