Anesthesia in hepatobiliary disorders

Abstract

Multiple factors have led to an increased incidence of hepatobiliary disease across the continents, and with it we witness an increased number of patients, who report for surgery for a hepatobiliary disease, e.g. hepatic lobectomy, cholecystectomy, corrective surgery on bile ducts and even liver transplantation, or they report for surgery for an unrelated disease but with a concurrent hepatobiliary disease. These patients require special considerations during perioperative period. Please select the one best option in each of the following questions.
