Hepatobiliary and Upper GI Surgery reflects the overwhelming need
for such a book as this specialisation proceeds apace. The book
covers all the foregut except the liver, bile duct and pancreas,
looking at the diverse anatomy and physiology, the functions and
the disease processes. The book reflects a significant change in
the management of certain conditions, as our understanding of
disease has improved. Technical developments have moved surgery
forward; minimally invasive surgery being the treatment of choice
for most upper GI operations for benign disease. With cancers of
the upper GI tract being common, and with our understanding more of
the genetic profile of tumours, we have identified premalignant
lesions and cancer surgery is now targeted to allow
stage-appropriate therapies. This book gives a current and concise
summary of all key topics within the specialty and concentrates on
recent developments. Hepatobiliary and Upper GI Surgery brings
together an international group of contributors, all experts in
their field, to provide a text for specialists and trainees.
