About this book

This book is part of a series covering surgical specialties.  The volumes are multi-authored, containing brief chapters, each of which are devoted to one or two specific questions or decisions within that specialty that are difficult or controversial.  The volumes are intended as a current and timely reference source for practicing surgeons, surgeons in training, and educators that describe the recommended ideal approach, rather than customary care, in selected clinical situations.

Reviews

“This book collects, in 58 chapters, expert opinion and best evidence from the current literature on a series of difficult and controversial topics in hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery. … The intended audience is the multidisciplinary group of professionals who care for hepatobiliary and pancreatic patients. … This is a great reference for those in practice and an outstanding resource for those in training. … It will be valuable to subspecialists and trainees in the field.” (Kent C. Choi, Doody's Book Reviews, October, 2016)
