Leslie Harold Blumgart was the surgeon behind making Hepatopancreaticobiliary surgery a speciality and his recent demise will always leave a void in that field. He was the person who classified anatomical variations in the biliary tract and devised a special anastomotic technique to decrease the rate of postoperative pancreatic duct fistula after Whipple’s pancreaticoduodenectomy. His contribution in managing hepatobiliary oncology cases with chemotherapy and radiotherapy was also significant. No wonder, he was designated as the “living legend” by the International Hepatopancreaticobiliary Association.

Leslie H. Blumgart 教授——肝胰胆外科医生先驱:致敬
莱斯利·哈罗德·布鲁姆加特 (Leslie Harold Blumgart) 是使肝胰胆外科成为专科的外科医生,他最近的去世将永远在该领域留下一个空白。他对胆道的解剖变异进行了分类,并设计了一种特殊的吻合技术来降低惠普尔胰十二指肠切除术后胰管瘘的发生率。他在化疗和放疗管理肝胆肿瘤病例方面的贡献也很显着。难怪他被国际肝胰胆协会誉为“活着的传奇人物”。
