Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, “Latest Progress in Hepatobiliary Surgery Research”, seeks to present recent advances and contemporary perspectives in the field of hepatobiliary surgery. The scope includes, but is not limited to, developments in surgical techniques, perioperative care, minimally invasive and robotic approaches, liver transplantation, oncological outcomes, and translational research relevant to hepatobiliary disease. We particularly encourage the submission of original research articles, high-quality reviews, and clinical studies that contribute to improved understanding and management of hepatobiliary conditions. By gathering contributions from researchers worldwide, this Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the current progress and future directions, thereby serving as a valuable resource for both clinical practice and academic research.
Dr. Nikolaos Machairas
