Leslie H. Blumgart, MD was an internationally renowned surgeon, one of a small group of pioneering investigators who established the foundation for safe and effective hepatic resection. His work helped transform hepatic resection from a high-risk and highly morbid procedure to a routine operation that is now performed widely for many indications. This change, a major factor in the improved outcome for many patients with primary and metastatic liver cancer, has benefited tens of thousands of patients over the years.

The program celebrates his life and how his immense contributions impacted the field of HPB surgery – and also his personal influence on the careers of many of us. This symposium will conclude with a Networking Reception from 5:30-7:00 pm.
