| Introduction | The Division of Liver, Biliary, and Pancreatic Surgery is specifically involved in the surgical treatment of benign and malignant diseases occurring in the liver, bile duct, and pancreas. These organs are one of the most complicated anatomical structures in the body where a variety of benign and malignant tumors occurs. The organs are essential and play a key role in exocrine and endocrine functions. Due to the complexity of the organs, the process of treatment is extremely complicated and the duration of the treatment last long. This is why the division requires highly experienced doctors and professional facilities. Specifically, a number of surgeries have been performed by the division: cholecystectomy, pancreaticoduodenectomy, hepatectomy, partial resection of the liver, and liver transplantation. The division performed a successful living-related liver transplantation in 1988 for the first time in the local medical community.
