His major interest is in hepatobiliary surgery, especially extended surgery for perihilar cholangiocarcinoma. He has experience with more than 1000 resections of perihilar cholangiocarcinoma. His research has focused on reducing morbidity and mortality of complicated hepatobiliary resections and, in turn, improving patient survival of biliary tract cancers.
