SIG Aims and Proposed Activities

This new Special Interest Group recognizes the exciting potential of recent innovations in hepatobiliary surgery to improve outcomes in liver transplantation, and for new techniques in liver preservation and transplantation to benefit the wider population of general HPB patients.
