Watson Clinic General Surgeon and Surgical Oncologist
Dr. Dany Barrak is the first specialist in the area to perform two highly advanced procedures. In the first procedure, Dr. Barrak was able to successfully remove a rectal carcinoma utilizing robotic technology. In the second procedure known as hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy, Dr. Barrak surgically pumped a heated chemotherapy drug directly into the affected region of a late-stage abdominal cancer patient.
