Qualifications

Dr. Almog Ben-Yaacov is a board-certified surgical oncologist at Sheba Medical Center. He is a senior specialist in HIPEC (hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy). Since 2018, Dr. Ben-Yaacov has performed over 200 of these complex procedures. He graduated with honors and holds certifications in both general surgery and oncology.

Clinical Expertise and Specialized Procedures

Dr. Ben-Yaacov treats gastric cancer, sarcoma, and complex colorectal malignancies. This clinical focus includes resection of abdominal wall metastases and colorectal surgery. He also performs laparotomy and laparoscopic cholecystectomy for various gastrointestinal conditions. He uses specialized techniques to treat advanced abdominal cancers.

These methods include cytoreductive surgery combined with heated chemotherapy. He also performs microwave liver ablation — a technique that uses heat from microwave energy to destroy liver tumors. The doctor uses NanoKnife (irreversible electroporation) for case types that require high precision. This technology destroys cancer cells using electrical pulses without heat.

The process protects surrounding healthy tissue and critical structures. Dr. Ben-Yaacov also provides minimally invasive and laparoscopic surgery. These techniques allow for smaller incisions and faster recovery for patients. He integrates these methods into general and gastrointestinal surgery.
