Bile duct injuries (BDI) are considered the most serious surgical complication associated with cholecystectomy. According to different reports, its incidence has remained constant over the years, ranging from 0.1% to 0.9%. BDI is associated with a greater risk of perioperative morbidity and mortality, a reduction in the quality of life, and a decrease in long-term survival. Also, this complication is a concern to surgeons since its progression is uncertain and may lead to demands on professional responsibility ("malpractice") and emotional and physical consequences ("second victim"). Given that injuries in a high percentage of patients are initially unsuspected, the postoperative recovery ma...

Los avances científicos y la investigación constante permitieron que el trasplante de órganos sea hoy una práctica habitual. Esto fue posible gracias a un entusiasta grupo de científicos que, a lo largo de varias décadas, trabajaron incansablemente seguros de que la ciencia podía mejorar la calidad de vida y perpetuarla. Testigo y protagonista, el doctor Roberto Cambariere reconstruye con rigor y sensibilidad el recorrido de los trasplantes en la Argentina y en el mundo. Motivado por el deseo de dejar la historia a disposición de las nuevas generaciones, y con el desafío que implica para alguien que se sumerge en el pasado llegar hasta el presente con la tinta aún fresca, el autor nos ofrece un apasionante recorrido donde la filosofía, la ética y la ciencia se amalgaman de un modo exquisito, como solo puede ejecutarlo alguien que se ha dedicado al saber y que ha vivido intensamente.
