Handbook Of Hepato Pancreato Biliary Surgery

This handbook provides a comprehesive but succinct overview of medical and surgical management of diseases of the liver, pancreas, and biliary tree. It includes imaging of the pancreas and hepatobiliary system as well. Open and minimally invasive surgical management techniques are covered. Coverage includes pancreatic cancer and cysts, pancreatitis, complications of panreatic surgery, ultrasound for liver disease, cirrhosis and portal hypertension, neuroendocrine and colorectal metastases to the liver, gallstones, cholesystitis, infections in biliary surgery, and more. Target markets include surgical residents, surgical nurses, beginning fellows in HPB training programs. There may also be some uptake from gastroenterologists.

Hepato-pancreato-biliary surgery is the medical and surgical care for the treatment of diseases and disorders of the liver, pancreas, biliary tract and duodenum. It provides treatment to patients with primary and metastatic cancers of the liver, pancreas, bile duct and gallbladder, as well as benign conditions such as cysts, bile duct injuries and biliary strictures. The investigation, diagnosis and recommendation of effective treatment strategies, as well as operative procedures and provision of preoperative, perioperative and late postoperative care are within the scope of this field. HPB surgery can include laparoscopic procedures, resections, transplantation surgeries and reconstruction surgeries. A number of specialists may be involved in HPB surgery such as hepatobiliary and transplant surgeons, hepatologists, interventional radiologists and diagnostic radiologists. This book is a compilation of chapters that discuss the most vital concepts and emerging trends in the field of hepato-pancreato-biliary surgery. It consists of contributions made by international experts. Through this book, we attempt to further enlighten the readers about the new concepts in this field.

This text provides a comprehensive, state-of-the art definitive “case-based” reference for the work-up, diagnosis, intraoperative management, and peri-operative care of patients with complex, difficult to manage HPB diseases. The book provides a practical, clinically useful guide that reviews select complicated HPB cases, as well as providing key information on how to manage such patients. This text provides detailed “case-based” algorithms, as well as specific guidance on the management of complicated HPB patients. In addition, it also focuses on key points on how to work-up patients pre-operatively, highlights intra-operative technical “pearls”, and defines optimal post-operative care. Chapters are rich with images, have multiple “call out” boxes to highlight key lessons learned and also include clinical management “pearls.” All chapters are written by experts in their field and include the most up-to-date clinical information from national and world leaders in their respective discipline. Case-Based Lessons in the Management of Complex Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary Surgery will serve as a very useful resource for physicians, fellows and residents dealing with complex HPB patients. In addition, It will provide a concise yet comprehensive summary of the diagnosis, work-up, and management of some of the most complex, yet common, HPB cases.

With an emphasis on the “hows and whys” of contemporary surgery, Operative Techniques in Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary Surgery, Second Edition, features concise, bulleted text, full-color illustrations, and intraoperative photographs to clarify exactly what to look for and how to proceed. Drawn from the larger Operative Techniques in Surgery, Second Edition, this concise, stand-alone surgical atlas, overseen by editor-in-chief Mary T. Hawn and meticulously edited by Dr. Steven J. Hughes, focuses on the steps of each technique, rapidly directing you to the information you need to choose the right approach for each patient, perform it successfully, and achieve the best possible results.

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.

Hepato-pancreato-biliary (HPB) surgery is now firmly established within the repertoire of modern general surgery. Indeed, in many major centers, there are now specific teams for both pancreatic and liver surgery. However, in most hospitals outside these major centers, the day-to-day management and decision-making for patients with these disorders remains the remit of the general surgeon and presents often highly complex clinical scenarios. Surgical Management of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Disorders is a detailed guide to management in problems arising from cancer, trauma, cysts and other conditions, both acute and chronic. It is intended to cover the spectrum of common HPB diseases that will confront the general surgeon in his or her regular practice. The chapters are problem-based, rather than didactic descriptions of pathology and surgical technique. It is sufficiently comprehensive to cover the broad spectrum of HPB surgery for candidates coming to examinations at the completion of surgical training and will act as a comprehensive reference tool for surgeons in practice and in training.
