Textbook of Hepatobiliary & Gastrointestinal Surgery is an extensive, illustrated, evidence-based review of complex liver and gastrointestinal surgery, edited by gastrointestinal expert Govind Nandakumar, based at Weill Cornell Medical College, New York.

Divided into 63 chapters, the book begins with a chapter on minimally invasive and robotic oesophagectomy, followed by overviews of oesophageal conditions requiring surgery.  Subsequent chapters cover the surgical management of a broad range of disorders including Crohn’s disease, colitis, and several cancers affecting the hepatobiliary and gastrointestinal systems.  Surgical techniques discussed include gastric bypass, banding and sleeve gastrectomy, liver and pancreas transplantation, and a separate chapter on bariatric surgery in developing countries.

Textbook of Hepatobiliary & Gastrointestinal Surgery concludes with discussion on radiology techniques, pathology, and nutrition for gastrointestinal patients, and recovery after surgery. 638 full colour illustrations enhance this comprehensive resource for surgeons in training and in practice.
