Book excerpt: Welcome to the second edition of the Handbook of Clinical Pancreatology an educational resource from the Gastroenterological Society of Australia. The world has certainly changed since the launch of the first edition in 2016. What has not changed is the complexity of pancreatic anatomy and physiology and the challenges we confront in managing patients with pancreatic pathology be it benign or malignant. The Handbook of Clinical Pancreatology has evolved and this second edition is greatly enhanced. Each Australian author has now been partnered with an international expert. I welcome authors from Scotland, England, France, Germany, The Netherlands, India, Thailand, Taiwan, New Zealand, Canada and the United States. The input of these experts brings a great depth and international perspective to the Handbook of Clinical Pancreatology. The second edition has also been augmented by the addition of three new chapters: Diabetes of the Exocrine Pancreas, Cystic Fibrosis and the Pancreas, and Paediatric Clinical Pancreatology. The primary aim of the Handbook remains unchanged, however; that is to be an up-to-date succinct guide rather than a definitive textbook, a resource that can be referred to in the lecture hall, hospital ward or consulting room. The Handbook will be of value to medical students through to practicing clinicians. It continues to highlight the necessity for a multidisciplinary approach to the treatment of pancreatic disorders. I hope the Handbook of Clinical Pancreatology broadens your knowledge, answers your specific questions and inspires you to make clinical pancreatology a focus of your career in patient care.
