Liver Transplantation - ECAB

Liver Transplantation (LT), until recently the ‘forbidden fruit’, is the newest, the sexiest, the most controversial and arguably, the most technically challenging subspecialty of Surgical Gastroenterology to have mushroomed in India. In a journey spanning 12 years, 28 centers and 1500 liver transplants, we imagined there would be a gripping story to tell. It was only appropriate then, that we chose to inaugurate the series with an overview of Liver Transplantation. In the last 2 decades, the field has seen rapid progress with 1- and 5-year patient survival improving from 80% and 50% to 90% and 80%, respectively, owing to technical refinement, and better immunosuppressants, intensive car...

  • Publisher: Elsevier

The Liver in Biology and Disease was conceived as a sequel in the series Principles of Medical Biology, whose general aim continues to be the integration of human biology and molecular cell biology into modern molecular medicine. It is a volume molded by the Information Revolution which few will deny has forced the teaching faculties in our medical schools to curtail and prune the teaching load and focus on fundamentals and principles. With this intention in mind, a volume of this nature takes into account the close dependence of progress in the medical sciences on bioinformatics (gene and protein analysis) or more precisely, computational biology and of course, the Internet. In general, it follows the pattern of its predecessors.*Chapters are illustrated with numerous figures and references are current*Clear, concise and accurate text about a large number of liver diseases*Describes the liver's histology, biochemistry, and pathology in molecular terms

All surgeons are convinced that they provide the best possible care to their patients and fortunately most patients are happy with their surgeons. Where safety and quality were once considered to be self-evident, these issues need to be made more explicit in modern surgery. Doctors and the general public alike are nowadays more aware of the variations in quality that exist among surgeons and institutions and of the unwarranted harmful effects surgery can have. Super- or sub-specialization seems one way to improve both its quality and safety. Surgical Gastroenterology or Gastrointestinal Surgery is one of these new superspecialties. The path towards this specialization is not easy and turf ba...
