Pierre-Alain Clavien & John Baillie 
Diseases of the Gallbladder and Bile Ducts [PDF ebook] 
Diagnosis and Treatment

An interdisciplinary reference book for the diagnosis and
treatment of gallbladder and bile duct diseases

With recent developments in the management of hepatobiliary
diseases including liver transplantation, this new edition aids all
members of the team by addressing both the biliary indications for
and biliary complications of these procedures.

It’s divided into three sections on anatomy, pathophysiology,
and epidemiology; diagnostic and therapeutic approaches including
the latest therapeutic modalities; and specific conditions.

Includes more than 250 illustrations for rapid reference. Each
chapter now has a Q&A section and begins with a list of
objectives outlining the chapter’s goals. In addition, a
number of new imaging modalities are presented in this new
edition.

It takes an integrated medical, surgical and radiological
approach, making this invaluable to all members of the team who
deal with complications of liver transplantation and the management
of patients.
