title: Portal blood flow, effective hepatic blood flow, and outcome after partial portal decompression.
abstract: What a great time to practice Surgery! Things we only dreamed about 20 years ago are finding their way into clinical care and greater advances are around the corner. As practicing surgeons, we have prospered by being raised on the shoulders of giants in Surgery that trained and inspired us. Dr. David B. Skinner was such a giant.
