Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Liver surgery includes hepatic resection and liver transplantation. Common indications for hepatic resection are hepatocellular carcinoma, liver metastasis from colon cancer, and bile duct origin intrahepatic tumors. Liver transplantation is the only curative treatment option for end-stage liver disease, and it is also an alternative treatment option for hepatocellular carcinoma. There have been many studies on novel challenges and advances in liver surgery, but the field still needs continuous effort and research.
The aim of this Special Issue is to introduce and discuss the current treatment and future options in liver surgery, including hepatic resection and liver transplantation. It includes the study of preoperative diagnosis, perioperative management, surgical techniques and innovations, and prognosis after surgery.
We invite colleagues around the world to share their experience and knowledge on novel challenges and advances in liver disease with original studies, reviews, or communications in order to develop this important field.
Dr. Suk-Won Suh
Guest Editor
