Gallbladder, Bile Duct and Pancreas Disorders: Current Challenges, New Perspectives and Innovative Techniques

Dear Colleagues,

Gallbladder, bile duct and pancreas disorders are highly frequent and characterized by heterogeneity. Innovate technologies are used for the diagnosis and management of these disorders, allowing for the medical community to identify, locate and treat them. Entering this field, artificial intelligence is offering solutions to difficult cases of clinical practice. Additionally, minimally invasive surgical and endoscopic procedures, as well as robotic surgery, render higher chances for the successful management of the patients of these disorders. Moreover, oncology treatments are evolving, employing a wide range of biological medicines and opening a new era in therapy for gallbladder, bile duct and pancreas disorders.

The aim of this Special Issue is to evaluate and discuss current challenges, new perspectives and innovative techniques for gallbladder, bile duct and pancreas disorders, including differential diagnosis, pharmacotherapy, treatment, final outcome and prognosis.

We invite colleagues around the world to report their experience and knowledge with original studies, reviews, case reports or communications in current challenges, new perspectives and innovative techniques relating disorders of the gallbladder, bile ducts and pancreas for this Special Issue of our journal, in order to support this dominant research area.

You may choose our Joint Special Issue in Medicina.
