Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
