Techniques in Liver Surgery

Techniques in Liver Surgery is a practical textbook giving a clear, step-by-
step account of the many techniques now used in liver surgery, ranging from the
standard approaches to liver resection and transplantation, through to advanced
procedures such as major liver resections using hypothermic perfusion,
auxiliary liver transplantation and transplantation from living related donors.
In addition to specific techniques, the book provides detailed coverage of the
surgical anatomy of the liver, the basic approaches to liver surgery and the
history of the specialty itself. Throughout, the book is superbly illustrated
with detailed colour line drawings, intraoperative photographs and radiological
images, providing an invaluable source of information on the surgical anatomy
of the liver and all of the common and less common techniques that are likely
to be encountered by the hepatobiliary surgeon, both in training and in
practice.


?Comprehensive coverage of all surgical techniques in liver surgery


?Superlative, full colour, line drawings clearly illustrate key steps in each
procedure
