About this ebook
Over the last two decades, there have been major advances in imaging, endoscopy, and laparoscopy in the field of gastrointestinal (GI) surgery. GI surgery is the newest sub-specialty branch of general surgery, where enhanced expertise and high-volume centres have made a difference to the outcomes of complex operations. Surgeons can now do difficult procedures with low morbidity and mortality rates, and greatly improved overall results. This volume provides detailed and up-to-date knowledge on diseases of the liver, gall bladder, and bile ducts. Split into two sections, it covers anatomy and physiology, approaches to specific conditions and traumas, a thorough analysis of current knowledge and future advances in the field, and a review of the relevant literature. Written and edited by world-renowned experts in the field, this book will be a valuable resource for hepatobiliary surgeons and trainees, general surgeons, researchers, and medical students.
