Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery 5/e - Print and E-Book

Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery meets the needs of surgeons in higher training and practising consultants for a
contemporary and evidence-based account of this sub-specialty that is relevant to their general surgical practice. It
is a practical reference source incorporating the most current information on recent developments, management issues
and operative procedures. The text is thoroughly referenced and supported by evidence-based recommendations wherever
possible, distinguishing between strong evidence to support a conclusion, and evidence suggesting that a recommendation
can be reached on the balance of probabilities.

highly regarded source of information for the specialist general surgeon.
