Main description:

This book describes and illustrates surgical procedures in the field of hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery and liver transplantation, including important cutting-edge techniques. Written by master surgeons from the Korean Association of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Surgery, it will be invaluable for all who are embarking on a career in this field or are seeking to improve their surgical skills. The three sections of the book focus on liver surgery, gallbladder and biliary surgery, and pancreatic surgery. A wide range of operative procedures are covered, including different techniques of hepatectomy, deceased and living donor liver transplantation, cholecystectomy, resection of choledochal cysts, procedures appropriate in the contexts of hilar and extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, pancreatectomy, and pancreaticoduodenectomy. Attention is drawn to essential tips and tricks, and each chapter includes video clips of the described procedures in addition to high-quality surgical photos and illustrations.
