Advances in Hepatobiliary Surgery

Dear Colleagues,

Hepatobiliary surgery is used to treat a diverse group of diseases, from benign conditions to primary and metastatic tumors, and has seen a constant expansion in recent decades. A pivotal role in this development has been played by the introduction of new techniques and technologies that now allow patients once considered affected by pathologies judged too complex or advanced to receive safe and effective treatments. These advances range from the development of new surgical techniques and devices to the applications of novel technologies, such as the expansion of minimally invasive techniques and the implementation of artificial intelligence and augmented reality, which provide hepatobiliary patients with the optimal diagnostic, therapeutic and prognostic tools, aiming at achieving the best possible outcomes.

In such a fast-developing scenario, this Special Issue has the objective of focusing on the latest advances in all aspects of hepatobiliary surgery.
