About me

I work in high-complexity oncological surgery, mainly the surgery of peritoneal carcinomatosis.

Since 1995 I have directed the Hepatobiliary Surgery and Peritoneal Carcinomatosis Unit at the Centre de Lutte contre le Cancer de Montpellier (ICM), being responsible for surgeries for liver tumors, peritoneal carcinomatosis, and abdominal sarcomas. I also serve as scientific coordinator of SIRIC-Montpellier for peritoneal carcinomatosis.

I treat patients with advanced peritoneal disease and with liver disease, and I also perform oncovascular surgery.
