Abstract

Editor Jessica Wernberg and authors review the current management and procedures in biliary tract surgery. Articles will cover: anatomy and embryology of the biliary tract, bile duct cysts, symptomatic cholelithiasis and functional disorders of the biliary tract, gallstone pancreatitis, technical aspects of bile duct evaluation and exploration, iatrogenic biliary injuries, proximal biliary malignancy, distal biliary malignancy, gallbladder cancer, bile duct metabolism and lithogenesis, unusual complications of gallstones, endoscopic management of biliary disorders, biliary issues in the bariatric population, technical aspects of cholecystectomy, cholecystitis, and more!
