Prof. Somaiah leads advanced minimally invasive liver and pancreatic surgeries at a regional specialist centre of complex liver and pancreatic surgery serving two million people in the South-West of England.

Since 2011, Prof. Somaiah has performed more than 400 liver resections and 300 pancreatic resections. This includes major robotic hepatectomies and pancreaticoduodenectomies.
