Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, “Next-Generation Approaches to Hepatobiliary Disorders”, aims to explore the rapid evolution of multidisciplinary care management in hepatobiliary disorders.
This Special Issue primarily aims to address the latest clinical and scientific advances in hepatobiliary diseases, focusing on innovations that could transform patient care. The management of these disorders has become multidisciplinary and multimodal, with interventional radiology and advanced endoscopy being integrated with laboratory diagnostics, molecular research, and translational studies, thus refining diagnostic and therapeutic strategies across the spectrum of hepatobiliary disorders. The convergence of these technologies not only enhances precision and reduces invasiveness but also facilitates the timing of and approach to treatment, allowing for earlier interventions and improved outcomes.
Liver transplantation is also undergoing significant advancements: new indications for transplantation are emerging alongside efforts to expand donor pools. While the implementation of DCD and perfusion machines is crucial, more work should be conducted to develop biomarkers for viability.
We welcome contributions from clinicians and researchers that explore these transformations in hepatobiliary disorders, hoping to provide novel insights and practical advances in this field.
Dr. Lorenzo Petagna
Guest Editor
