An expert multi-disciplinary team from the Hepatobiliary-pancreatic and liver surgery department at Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC) has successfully performed Qatar’s first robotic pancreatic surgery on a middle-aged female patient diagnosed with a cystic lesion of the pancreas.
Cystic lesions of the pancreas are a group of pancreatic lesions characterized by a cystic appearance. Many pancreatic cysts are found during abdominal scans (accidental discovery) for other problems and they can be benign or malignant. The procedure was performed by Dr. Ahmed Elaffandi, Senior Consultant, and Dr. Ibnouf Sulieman, Associate Consultant, at HMC’s Hepatobiliary Surgery Department, under the supervision and guidance of Dr. Hany Atalah, Director of Robotic Surgeries at HMC.
