Surgery of the Liver, Bile Ducts and Pancreas in Children, Third Edition describes the modern approach to the diagnosis, management and surgery of childhood conditions of the liver and associated structures. The first edition was recognized worldwide as a landmark publication and helped to establish pediatric hepatobiliary surgery as a discrete subspecialty; the second was expanded to include pancreatic diseases, transplantation and trauma. This third edition is overseen by a new editorial team from two world-leading centers for children’s liver surgery: King’s College Hospital in London, and Lurie Children''s Hospital in Chicago. The book has been further expanded and updated by a team of international experts to take account of the very latest advances in research and practice.

Although pediatric surgery is a distinct and evolving specialty, it still remains an integral part of most general surgical and paediatric medical practice. Nevertheless, surgery in children does differ from adult practice in various fundamental ways, and there are key physiological and anatomical differences that constantly need underlining. Progress and improvement in outcome has also been rapid but it is sometimes difficult for practitioners to keep themselves up-to-date with the usual surgical or paediatric text books.

This book will give a concise overview of all important topics and is designed to provide information in order to recognise the common surgical conditions; namely typical symptoms and signs, investigation and then treatment management. It will also provide an anatomical and physiological background to aid understanding, in addition to emphasising logical, and where possible, evidence-based practice by the use of flow charts, tables and algorithms.

Authored by an international range of leading contributors, this is the first book of its kind to offer comprehensive coverage to this topic in a quick reference, pocket-book format.

The new, fully updated edition of this book gives a concise overview of all important topics and is designed to provide information to recognise and treat common pediatric surgical conditions: namely, symptoms and signs, investigation, and management. A logical, evidence-based practice is encouraged by the use of flow charts, tables, and algorithms. This edition has been thoroughly revised to reflect the rapid progress in the world of pediatric surgery including the subspecialties of general pediatric surgery, urology, hepatobiliary surgery, organ transplantation, minimally invasive surgery (including robotic surgery), and bariatric surgery. This book also provides an anatomical and physiological background to aid understanding.

Having been authored by international leaders in these fields, this book offers comprehensive coverage of various surgical conditions in children with a quick-reference format.

The first edition has been immensely popular with over 160,000 downloads including GPs, A&E doctors, adult surgeons who need to treat children, pediatricians, and of course, pediatric surgeons.
