SSO President, David L. Bartlett, MD speaks with SSO HPB Disease Site Work Group Vice Chair, Melissa E. Hogg, MD, MS. Dr. Hogg is the Director of HPB Surgery, Director of Robotic Training for Grainger Labe and Northshore University Healthsystem, Evanston, IL.

The following podcast features a conversation with individuals who are experts within their respective fields and are members of the Society’s Disease Site Work Groups. SSO supports the need for treatment decisions to be made on a case-by-case basis. The surgeon’s knowledge and understanding of the biology of GI and HPB cancer, alternative treatment options, and the institution’s policies at the time the patient will be scheduled for surgery all need to be taken into consideration.
