"Operative Techniques in Hepato-Pancreatico-Biliary Surgery was produced with the intent to be truly unique and thus essential to surgeons in training, fellowship, and practice.

As endoscopic and catheter-based therapies now complement or replace operative approaches, renowned authors from the fields of gastroenterology and radiology provide chapters specifically written for surgeons in the context of multidisciplinary care. Hepato-pancreatico-biliary system operative planning and execution requires a thorough understanding of complex, often variable anatomy and is now routinely based upon cross-sectional imaging of 3-dimensional space. Addressing this challenge was the charge to each author; the result is a liberal use of imaging and intra-operative photography supported by exceptional, consistent artwork.
