Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Surgery remains the cornerstone of treatment of most malignant and benign hepato-pancreatobiliary (HPB) diseases. Remarkable progress has been achieved over the past few decades in the diagnosis and management of (HPB) tumors. With the aid of modern technologies, extended and complex HPB surgical procedures that less than 20 years ago could only be imagined can now be performed safely and effectively with excellent perioperative and long-term outcomes.
The present Special Issue aims to provide an update in the field of surgical treatment of primary and metastatic HPB tumors as well as benign diseases. The issue will mainly focus on new technologies currently used in the field of HPB surgery and new emerging ones that may be introduced in clinical practice. We further aim to inspire, inform, and provide both direction and guidance to surgeons and researchers in the field.
We strongly encourage authors to submit high-quality research articles focusing on emerging surgical strategies and innovative technologies for the management of HPB diseases. Original articles as well as review articles, meta-analyses, instructions, and opinion articles are welcome.
