Abstract

This 2-volume reference, edited by a panel of experts and featuring contributions by many leading authorities, comprehensively covers the cutting edge of research, teaching, and practice in surgery of the liver, biliary tract, and pancreas. This resource covers anatomy, pathophysiology, immunology, molecular biology, genetics, diagnosis, and treatment. Richly illustrated, it is accompanied by a DVD with detailed video clips of laproscopic procedures, effectively allowing you to use it as an operative atlas.

  • Covers pathology, diagnostics, surgery, and non-operative intervention all in one text, to give you a single, comprehensive reference.
  • Offers step-by-step procedures, extensively illustrated with over 200 operative line drawings.
      • Provides new coverage of the pancreas, making this the only fully comprehensive text on both hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery.
      • Considers all the new aspects of the rapidly changing area of transplantation.
      • Shows detailed surgical anatomy to help with diagnosis, surgical operation, interventional radiology, and endoscopy.
      • Contains detailed, up-to-date diagnostic coverage to keep you abreast of the latest strategies.
      • Incorporates the latest information on pre- and post-operative care and blood transfusion.
