He performs small- or no-scar thyroid and parathyroid surgery as well as laparoscopic or robotic pancreas, liver and adrenal surgery. Dr. Keutgen also specializes in complex liver resections for metastatic neuroendocrine tumors of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract and pancreas. He has advanced expertise in extensive removal of neuroendocrine liver tumors metastases (“debulking surgery”) using techniques that preserve a maximum amount of normal liver tissue (parenchymal sparing liver surgery).
