Author:
Gastrointestinal surgery is performed for a range of benign and malignant diseases in both elective and emergency settings. This volume covers the surgery and management of the liver, gall bladder, and bile duct, including anatomy and physiology, transplants, and the management of different diseases, traumas, and cancers.
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.
About the Author: Professor Mohamed Rela is an acclaimed liver transplant surgeon with over 25 years' experience in the field. He has been a Consultant Surgeon and Professor of Liver Surgery at Kings College Hospital, London, UK since 1993 and has been working in India since 2009. He now runs the busiest liver transplantation program in South India, performing over 250 liver transplants each year. Professor Rela has authored over 500 peer-reviewed publications and a number of book chapters including a chapter in the latest edition of Gray's Anatomy. In 2011 he started the annual Master Class in Liver Disease series which is now one of the most popular academic events in South Asia, regularly attended by over 1000 delegates across the world. He is the President-Elect of the International Liver Transplantation Society (ILTS). Professor Pierre-Alain Clavien is a world-renowned surgeon and researcher. Since 2001 he has led the Department of Surgery at the University Hospital Zürich, Switzerland, and leads the liver research group of the Wyss Institute. He was the first surgeon to receive the most prestigious Swiss scientific prize, Otto Naegeli, for his work on liver transplantation. He developed a classification of complications that holds his name, which is used worldwide as the standard reporting for postoperative morbidity. He has organized several international consensus conferences using an independent jury on liver surgery and innovation including one on 'how to select chair of medicine' which has had worldwide impact on academic medicine. Finally, he was a major player in the Oxford Balliol consortium, which defined the IDEAL framework assessing surgical innovations. In 2020 he was elected as an active member of the National Academy of Medicine of the United States of America.
