Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Hepato-pancreato-biliary (HPB) surgery is continually advancing, driven by significant improvements in surgical techniques, technological innovations, and multidisciplinary collaborations. Despite considerable progress, substantial challenges persist, including the management of complex hepatic resections, the optimization of outcomes in pancreatic surgery, and the enhancement of safety and efficacy in biliary interventions. Emerging technologies, minimally invasive approaches, and advancements in perioperative care have demonstrated considerable potential; however, robust evidence and innovative strategies remain essential to effectively address existing clinical gaps.
In response to these ongoing developments, the Journal of Clinical Medicine (JCM) is pleased to announce a Special Issue entitled “State of the Art in Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary (HPB) Surgery”. This Special Issue aims to highlight recent breakthroughs, underscore current standards of care, and examine state-of-the-art advancements, particularly in the domain of minimally invasive surgery. We warmly invite original research articles, comprehensive reviews, and detailed case series that address innovative surgical methodologies, technological progress, enhancements in patient safety, and evidence-based perioperative management in HPB surgery. Your valuable contributions will play a significant role in shaping future clinical practice and improving patient outcomes within the field.
