Description

The book integrates recent advancements made in the field of hepatic surgery. The liver was referred to as a hostile organ by Longmire since it welcomes sepsis and malignant cells so warmly, bleeds so freely, and is usually the first organ to get injured in blunt abdominal trauma. To balance these negative factors, it has an excellent characteristic: its capability to regenerate after a great loss of substance. This book highlights a great range of topics including secondary liver tumors, liver tumors in infants and children, hepatobiliary trauma, hepatic trauma and portal hypertension. It would serve as an important source of reference for students, researchers and physicians.
