During the last quarter century, management of children with hepatobiliary, pancreatic and splenic disease has developed from an obscure sub-speciality to an essential component of major academic centres in developed and developing countries. Major advances in basic and clinical research, genetics, laboratory medicine, imaging, medical care and operative technique have greatly altered the management of infants and children with congenital or acquired disease of the liver, bile ducts, pancreas and spleen. In this book these advances are highlighted, providing a concise and comprehensive update regarding the contemporary basis for medical and surgical management of children with hepatobiliary, pancreatic and splenic disease.
