Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal publishes research on hepato-biliary-pancreatic diseases and surgical interventions. Studies focus on evaluating the effectiveness and safety of various surgical techniques, including minimally invasive approaches like laparoscopic and robotic surgery, for conditions such as pancreatic necrosis, bile duct stones, pancreatic cancer, and liver resections. The scope also includes investigations into complications like chyle leakage and pancreatic fistula, as well as the role of genomic profiling and chemotherapy in cancer treatment. Additionally, research explores prognostic factors, anatomical variations, and perioperative management, including machine perfusion and blood transfusions, in the context of liver transplantation and pancreatic surgery.
