Extensively revised with new illustrations, new clinical photos, and bonus videos from Dr. Blumgart's own collection, this two-volume classic text remains the most comprehensive and up-to-date resource on surgery of the hepatobiliary and pancreatic region. Dr. William Jarnagin and his team of internationally recognized surgeons continue the Blumgart's tradition of excellence, bringing you the latest advances in diagnostic and surgical techniques. You'll find updates on the newest minimally invasive surgeries, new interventional diagnostic techniques, and complete coverage of all relevant diseases, including those seen in the tropics.
