Therapeutic Endoscopy and ERCP

Endoscopy is a non-surgical procedure in which a flexible scope with a camera and a working channel is inserted through the mouth into the upper gastrointestinal tract to treat certain conditions. ERCP is a complex endoscopic procedure from treatment of biliary and pancreatic disease such as bile duct stones, obstructing tumors, and chronic pancreatitis. Dr Tierney is the only surgeon in Northern Colorado who specializes in ERCP and this gives him a unique approach to patient care as his specialty bridges the fields of surgery and gastroenterology.

HPB Surgery & Oncology

Hepatopancreatobiliary (HPB) Surgery and Oncology is the specialty focused on the surgical treatment of both benign and malignant diseases of the liver, pancreas, and biliary tree. Surgical procedures in the area of the body are highly complex and require advanced training to master. Dr. Tierney is a high-volume, fellowship-trained HPB surgeon who performs many of his procedures in a robotic, minimally invasive fashion.

General Surgery

The field of general surgery includes a wide variety of procedures to treat conditions such as hernias, gallbladder disease, colon and rectal disease, and endocrine diseases. Dr. Tierney specializes in both routine and complex general surgery. He utilizes robotic surgery to minimize size of incisions, speed recovery, and enhance outcomes.

Robotic Surgery

Robotic surgery utilizes a robotic platform controlled by the surgeon to perform both minor and complex surgery in a minimally invasive fashion. Improved visualization and better instrumentation allows for better quality surgery. The technology has enabled certain complex surgeries that could previously only be performed through a large open incision to now be done through small incisions. This results in less postoperative pain, less inflammation and infectious complications, and quicker recovery. Dr. Tierney performs a high volume of robotic procedures for a wide variety of surgical conditions both benign and malignant.
