Hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery is a relatively new specialty
and the vast majority of patients present initially outside
tertiary referral centres. Many conditions such as gallstones,
acute and chronic pancreatitis, obstructive jaundice and
malignancies of the liver, biliary tract and pancreas are still
managed outside specialist centres or are not suitable for
referral. Many general surgeons continue to manage these problems
and in some parts of the world the geography and distances involved
makes referral for specialist care difficult or impossible. The
relative scarcity of specialist centres for the management of these
difficult conditions also means that the majority of trainees do
not get sufficient exposure prior their definitive appointment to
equip them with the tools needed to confidently manage many of the
problems they may face.
This book fills a void in the market for specialists who are working in areas without the support of gastroenterologists. Due to a lack of local expertise, treatment decisions in the field of gastroenterology frequently have to be made by non-gastroenterologists. The book addresses this problem by providing clear instructions on the diagnosis, medical management and on-going treatment of the most common disease patterns encountered in gastroenterology. Written by leading experts in their respective fields, it offers up-to-date evidence and insights into these conditions to enable adequate decision-making and safe management of these conditions.
