Hepato-pancreato-biliary (HPB) surgery is now firmly established within the repertoire of modern general surgery. Indeed, in many major tertiary centers there are now specific teams for both pancreatic and liver surgery. However, in most hospitals outside these major centers the day-to-day management and decision-making for patients with these disorders remains the remit of the general surgeon.
Following the launch of the highly successful first edition of this book eight years ago there have been considerable advances in the surgical management of HPB disorders. Many of these relate to related specialties (radiology, oncology, gastroenterology, and anesthesia) and also directly to surgery (liver transplantation, caval bypass and replacement, laparoscopic surgery to name but a few). As such the second edition has been completely rewritten from scratch.
As with the first edition, the purpose of this edition is two fold. First, it is intended to cover the spectrum of common HPB diseases that will confront the general surgeon in his or her regular practice. Second, this work will be sufficiently comprehensive to cover the broad spectrum of HPB surgery for candidates coming to examinations at the completion of surgical training.
Foreword
As recent progress in hepato-pancreato-biliary (HPB) surgery has been evident since the first edition of this book was published eight years ago, Dr. Graeme Poston, Dr. Mike D’Angelica, and Dr. René Adam, internationally recognized authorities in HPB surgery, have attempted to rewrite the second edition, joined by selected numerous worldwide specialists renowned as expert authors in each field to present a current view of the surgical and non-surgical management of benign and malignant HPB disorders.
This book demonstrates the wisdom of the new knowledge and technical skills of these diverse disciplines where cooperative efforts contribute toward the benefit of the patients with HPB disorders.
The general surgeon will find this volume to be a useful source of current thoughts on how to manage the diverse HPB diseases.
