HPB是一個國際性的臨床、科學和教育交流論壇。每年有十二期，包括良性和惡性肝膽疾病及其治療的所有方面的讀者導論、專家評論、原始文章、圖片、社論和讀者通信。HPB具有臨床和轉化研究和實踐的相關方面。感興趣的特定領域包括臨床從業者在全球胃腸外科專業領域遇到的HPB疾病。該雜志闡述了在涉及肝臟、膽道系統和胰腺的癌癥治療中所面臨的挑戰。雖然外科腫瘤學是HPB實踐的重要組成部分，但也歡迎提交有關肝和胰腺移植的手稿、治療諸如急性和慢性胰腺炎等良性疾病以及與肝膽感染和炎癥有關的手稿。將重點發展一個多學科的方法來診斷和治療內鏡和腹腔鏡的方法，放射干預和外科技術是強有力的代表。HPB歡迎在所有這些領域和以科學為中心的研究中提交手稿，這些研究與HPB外科實踐具有明顯的臨床相關性。HPB旨在幫助讀者——外科醫生、醫生、放射科醫生和基礎科學家——發展他們的知識和實踐。參與肝膽胰疾病管理的專家將對HPB感興趣，但也將通知相關領域的工作人員。摘要和索引信息：MEDLINE?埃博斯PubMed科學引文索引擴展學術搜索（EBSCO）HPB由國際肝膽胰協會（IHPBA）所有，也是美國肝膽胰協會（AHPBA）、亞太肝膽胰協會（A-PHPBA）和歐洲-非洲肝膽胰協會（E-AHPBA）的官方刊物。

HPB is an international forum for clinical, scientific and educational communication.Twelve issues a year bring the reader leading articles, expert reviews, original articles, images, editorials, and reader correspondence encompassing all aspects of benign and malignant hepatobiliary disease and its management. HPB features relevant aspects of clinical and translational research and practice. Specific areas of interest include HPB diseases encountered globally by clinical practitioners in this specialist field of gastrointestinal surgery. The journal addresses the challenges faced in the management of cancer involving the liver, biliary system and pancreas. While surgical oncology represents a large part of HPB practice, submission of manuscripts relating to liver and pancreas transplantation, the treatment of benign conditions such as acute and chronic pancreatitis, and those relating to hepatobiliary infection and inflammation are also welcomed. There will be a focus on developing a multidisciplinary approach to diagnosis and treatment with endoscopic and laparoscopic approaches, radiological interventions and surgical techniques being strongly represented. HPB welcomes submission of manuscripts in all these areas and in scientific focused research that has clear clinical relevance to HPB surgical practice.HPB aims to help its readers - surgeons, physicians, radiologists and basic scientists - to develop their knowledge and practice. HPB will be of interest to specialists involved in the management of hepatobiliary and pancreatic disease however will also inform those working in related fields.Abstracted and Indexed in:MEDLINE?EMBASEPubMedScience Citation Index ExpandedAcademic Search (EBSCO)HPB is owned by the International Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary Association (IHPBA) and is also the official Journal of 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).Specific areas of interest include HPB diseases encountered globally by clinical practitioners in this specialist field of gastrointestinal surgery.
