“This book is devoted to difficult problems in hepatic resection for colorectal metastatic disease. It is an attempt to bring together, in a series of chapters, a lot of information about the current status of liver resection (including transplantation) and apply it to this common problem. … It is most likely to be of use to specialists, who may find in its pages additional information or guidance on specific complex problems and techniques.” (Carol Scott-Conner, Doody's Book Reviews, October, 2017)
