Contemporary Surgical Management of Liver, Biliary Tract, and Pancreatic Disease

Contemporary Surgical Management of Liver, Biliary Tract, and Pancreatic Diseases presents an excellent resource for surgical residents, hepatobiliary fellows and practicing surgeons interested in hepatobiliary surgery. This textbook offers a readable, concise and practical alternative. It is divided into three sections: liver, biliary tract, and pancreatic diseases. Each section covers the spectrum of benign and malignant disease. In addition, several chapters in each section are devoted to surgical techniques. This textbook should ultimately serve as an essential source for the rapidly evolving field of hepatobiliary surgery and its practitioners.
