We are thrilled to present to you this special issue of Digestive Disease Interventions focusing on pediatric liver interventions. This edition encompasses the complete spectrum of pediatric liver interventions and associated topics, spanning from minimally invasive interventional radiology to surgical procedures. The articles featured in this issue have been contributed by a diverse group of experienced physicians and clinical researchers who are esteemed leaders in their respective fields. These review articles are meticulously crafted based on the latest evidence and the authors' wealth of clinical expertise.

The primary focus of this issue revolves around portal hypertension in the pediatric population and its management through both surgical and interventional radiology approaches. Additionally, the issue delves into interventional oncology, offering insights into liver transplant from a surgeon's perspective, posttransplant interventions, and biliary interventions.

Given the scarcity of data and the lack of first-level evidence in the literature concerning hepatobiliary interventions in the pediatric population, the review articles contained within this issue aim to provide the most comprehensive and up-to-date information available.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all the contributors for their outstanding work and for generously sharing their invaluable experiences. We also express our appreciation to Dr. Kapoor, the editor-in-chief, and the publisher for affording us the privilege to serve as guest editors for this special issue.
