Minimally Invasive Surgery of the Liver

This book intends to provide a comprehensive and up-to-date description of the newest techniques in minimally invasive liver surgery. The treatment of liver diseases comprises a significant component of the practice of any general surgeon working either in the academic, general and community hospitals. With the rapid expansion of knowledge and technology also the liver has been approached laparoscopically in a few specialized centers with well recognized advantages for the patients. Now this large amount of experience will be made universally available through this book. After a concise description of the main tools and technology necessary to carry out a safe laparoscopic and/or robot-assis...

Glissonean Pedicles Approach in Minimally Invasive Liver Surgery

Aim of this book is to present the main minimally invasive approaches to the Glissonean pedicles. This kind of technique for hepatectomy has been gaining interest in recent years and may represent the ideal method to achieve anatomical liver resections. Currently the most performed procedure for liver surgery is still the classic intrafascial approach in which, after entering the Glissonean sheath, the portal triad elements are singularly dissected and isolated. However, this is a quite challenging technique to pursue in a minimally invasive setting. Nowadays the laparoscopic and robotic approach for liver resections are increasing worldwide and the intra or extra hepatic Glissonean approach...

Hepatocellular Carcinoma

This open access book offers a comprehensive review of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with a particular focus on the pathobiology and clinical aspects of the disease, including diagnosis and treatment. HCC is becoming one of the most common causes of cancer-related death worldwide. It is the fifth most common malignancy in men and the ninth in women, with an estimated 500,000 to 1 million new cases annually around the world. Independent of its cause, cirrhosis is considered a major clinical and histopathological risk factor for HCC development. Five percent of all cirrhotic patients develop HCC every year. Diagnostic tools for HCC include blood tests, high-quality imaging studies and liver biopsy. The treatment of HCC depends on the size and location of the HCC and includes surgical resection, liver transplantation, endovascular approaches, percutaneous ablation, and medical treatments. The book is organized into four parts--overview, diagnosis, management strategies, and recommendations--and aims to provide surgeons and clinicians with a valuable resource for complete and up-to-date research on the clinical aspects and management of HCC.

Textbook of Liver Transplantation

Liver transplantations require a complex and varied, multidisciplinary approach involving not only hepatologists and surgeons but also pathologists, psychologists, professional educators, nurses and, in the case of young patients, also pediatricians and development experts. This textbook provides an overview of the management problems involved in liver transplantation for acute and chronic liver disease, pediatric liver transplantation and the psychosocial aspects of liver transplantation. A closing chapter, focusing on the developments and future prospects in liver transplantation, outlines the potential offered by donors after cardiac death, cell therapies and organogenesis. The multidisci...

Precision Medicine in Gastrointestinal Cancers

Precision medicine is the main emphasis in healthcare after recognizing the importance to integrate the clinical data with the molecular data of a specific disease. The term was first introduced in 2015 in which the Precision Medicine Initiative was initiated with the final aim to provide targeted therapy with high efficacy and less toxicity. Precision medicine plays an increasingly important in gastrointestinal cancers. Gastrointestinal cancers are divided into the upper (esophagus, stomach) and lower part (hepatobiliary and colon) of the gastrointestinal system. We would like to explore the latest era of integrative therapeutic target in gastrointestinal cancers taking into consideration of various aetiologies including genetic and exposome (dietary factors, microbial, hormonal, environmental insults) and their interactions with the host microenvironment.
