The outstanding advances, new discoveries, and observations in hepatobiliary sciences have resulted in remarkable changes in the approach to the diagnosis and management of many liver diseases. The editors, being the dean and vice deans of the National Liver Institute, Menoufia University, Egypt, a leading center in liver diseases in the Middle East, intended to capture and present these advances in this publication. Leading experts in this super-sub‐ specialty from North America, Europe, Asia, and Africa have participated in this book. In other words, the book team reflects an international *dream team* of expert clinicians and in‐ vestigators in the field of liver diseases.

The current book contains the most recent advances in the hepatobiliary sciences, including the remarkable advances in the therapy for Hepatitis C, primary and secondary malignant liver tumors, liver injuries, as well as liver cysts, liver resections, liver transplantation, and preoperative management of patients with liver diseases. This book is addressed to re‐ searchers in the field of liver diseases, practicing gastroenterologists, hepatologists, and HPB surgeons as well as medical students, residents, and fellows.

We wish to thank all our distinguished authors for their cooperation and desire to share their precious experience with the medical community. On their behalf, we wish to express hope that this publication will facilitate access to the latest scientific achievements in the field of liver diseases all over the world. We are particularly thankful to Ana Pantar and Iva Simcic and their colleagues at InTech®, the publisher of one of the largest multidisciplinary open access collec‐ tions of books covering the fields of science, for their expertise and support in bringing this edition to completion. We wish to extend our appreciation to all of our colleagues at the Nation‐ al Liver Institute, Menoufia University, for their tremendous support.
