Y1 - 2017 N1 - T2 - Pocket Journal Club: Essential Articles in General Surgery AB - Surgical therapy for hepatopancreaticobiliary disease has a rich history with meteoric advances occurring over the last century. Perhaps surprisingly, it was not until 1848, and the description of pancreatic lipase by French physiologist Claude Bernard, that the exocrine function of the pancreas was recognized.1 In 1899, William Stewart Halsted first successfully resected the head of the pancreas along with the duodenum for ampullary cancer. This evolved into the one-stage pancreaticoduodenectomy described by Allen Oldfather Whipple in 1940.2 Puestow and Gillesby introduced the lateral pancreaticojejunostomy for the management of chronic pancreatitis in 1958, and Frey and Child introduced the 95% distal pancreatectomy in 1965. Carl Langenbuch performed the first successful cholecystectomy in 1882, and the first elective hepatic resection for tumor in 1888.3 The modern era of hepatic resection was brought about in 1952 when Lortat-Jacob and Robert performed the first true anatomic liver resection with primary vascular control.4 SN - PB - McGraw-Hill Education CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/04/18 UR - accesssurgery.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1191194568 ER -
