HPB PDF

HPB is an international journal that serves as a valuable platform for clinical, scientific, and educational communication in the field of hepatobiliary disease. With a publication frequency of twelve issues per year, HPB provides readers with a wealth of content, including leading articles, expert reviews, original research papers, medical images, editorials, and reader correspondence, encompassing all facets of benign and malignant hepatobiliary diseases and their management. The journal also covers pertinent aspects of clinical and translational research and practice.

HPB focuses on a range of topics within hepatobiliary and pancreatic (HPB) surgery, catering to clinical practitioners in this specialized field of gastrointestinal surgery. The journal addresses the challenges related to the treatment of HPB cancers involving the liver, biliary system, and pancreas. While surgical oncology is a significant component of HPB practice, the journal also welcomes submissions related to liver and pancreas transplantation, the management of benign conditions such as acute and chronic pancreatitis, and topics concerning HPB infection and inflammation. HPB emphasizes the development of a multidisciplinary approach to diagnosis and treatment, encompassing endoscopic and laparoscopic techniques, radiological interventions, and surgical methods.

HPB is intended to help its readers, including surgeons, physicians, radiologists, and basic scientists, enhance their knowledge and clinical practice in the management of hepatobiliary and pancreatic diseases. The journal is of interest not only to specialists in this field but also to professionals working in related disciplines.

HPB is both owned by and serves as the official journal of several renowned international associations, including the International Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary Association (IHPBA), the American Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary Association (AHPBA), the Asian-Pacific Hepato Pancreatic Biliary Association (A-PHPBA), and the European-African Hepato-Pancreatic Biliary Association (E-AHPBA).
