While the mainstream issues in pancreatology are taught at various levels and conferences, as well as guidelines, the remaining is mostly left to the experts, not to say connoisseurs. A selection of such experts from around the globe have contributed to this book with very special cases and exemplifying problems in the form of case reports for better application and understanding of the same in clinical practice.
