Post Graduate Course – Classification/Guideline Driven Management in HPB

This course, driven by international classifications and guidelines, focuses on the management of common HPB diseases. Each topic will be presented in a structured way, detailing the rationale of treatment at various stages of the disease, and highlighting modern and new aspects. It is ideal for more junior colleagues (i.e. those still in training and younger surgeons), wishing to broaden their field of knowledge and improve daily practice.
