Perioperative screening and management in elective complex hepatobiliary surgery

We present an evidence-based overview of the preoperative screening, optimization and perioperative management of patients undergoing complex HPB surgery. Summary Perioperative care of these fragile patients is an evidence-based dynamic process. Optimal patient management undergoing HPB surgery requires risk assessment and stratification, and meticulous attention to the correction of underlying conditions. Despite this, postoperative morbidity remains relatively high and requires a cohesive multidisciplinary approach to minimize complications.
