Background and Purpose
The importance of performing safe and precise hepatobiliary and pancreatic (HBP) surgery has been increasingly recognized, especially as global communication among international HBP surgeons becomes more seamless. The Japanese Society of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Surgery (JSHBPS) has been committed to advancing knowledge of practical surgical anatomy and operative techniques, with the aim of enhancing patient care and surgical education.
In this context, JSHBPS organizes a series of international webinars to provide a platform for sharing and discussing expertise and experiences on how to safely and accurately perform advanced HBP surgical procedures. This webinar also serves as a valuable opportunity—particularly for young HBP surgeons—to receive educational guidance and technical advice from leading international experts in the field.
Contents
The theme of this webinar is “Precise Anatomy for Liver Resection”. International HBP experts will share their knowledge and insights on surgical anatomy and operative approaches through presentations and surgical videos, highlighting key anatomical pitfalls and practical surgical tips.
