Liver and Biliary Tract Surgery:Embryological Anatomy to 3D-Imaging and Transplant Innovations

Liver and Biliary Tract Surgery:Embryological Anatomy to 3D-Imaging & Transplant Innovations


This beautifully illustrated monograph provides an up-to-date and comprehensive overview about all fields of liver and
biliary tract surgery and liver transplantation. It consists of four sections with 48 chapters: Section I: Anatomy,
physiology, imaging and general principles, Section II: Biliary tract surgery, Section III: Liver surgery and Section
IV: Liver transplantation. The book includes more than 500 figures and illustrations mostly in color. Some of the
topics such as computer assisted surgery planning are treated comprehensively for the first time. The book is written
in a concise and well conceived way.
