Abstract
Surgical oncology encompasses the surgical treatment of malignancies of the skin, soft tissue, breast, gastrointestinal tract, head and neck, and thorax. Many of these anatomic locations are covered in other chapters of this book and will not be discussed further here. The focus of this chapter is on the role of simulation in acquiring and maintaining technical skills around liver, biliary, and pancreas surgery. The discussion points will include contexts in which simulation plays a role in hepato-pancreato-biliary (HPB) surgery, the modalities used for simulation-based training, curricula that have been described, and research priorities to further the meaningful application of simulation to improve the quality of training and patient outcomes in HPB surgery.
