Complexities in Colorectal Surgery: Decision-Making and Management 1st ed. 2014, Corr. 2nd printing 2014 Edition

[amazon template=iframe image2&asin=1461490219]

Complexities in Colorectal Surgery: Decision-Making and Management provides a unique, modern, practical guide that covers the strategic evaluation, specific approaches, and detailed management techniques utilized by expert Colorectal Surgeons caring for patients with complex problems―whether they result from underlying colorectal disease or from complications arising from previous surgical therapy. The text is formatted as both a “how-to” manual as well as an algorithm-based guide allowing the reader to understand the thought process behind the proposed treatment strategies. By making use of evidence-based recommendations, each chapter will include not only diagnostic and therapeutic guidelines, but also a narrative by the author on his/her operative technical details and perioperative “tips and tricks” that they utilize in the management of these complex surgical challenges. This test includes chapters on the assessment of risk and nutritional intervention methods utilized to minimize perioperative complications. In addition, sections on medical and surgical therapies for abdominal, pelvic and anorectal disease are incorporated. Moreover, the technical challenges of managing complications resulting from the original or subsequent operations is addressed. The underlying focus throughout the text is to provide pragmatic and understandable solutions that can be readily implemented by surgeons of varying experience to successfully treat complex colorectal problems. The text also goes beyond the technical aspects of Colorectal Surgery and includes special sections highlighting the essence of a surgeon. These include chapters describing the importance of the first encounter, building patient rapport, and demonstrating confidence and competence while showing humility and avoiding arrogance. Additionally, aspects involving the medical-legal, ethical, and economic challenges confronting surgeons are covered.

Laparoscopic Colorectal Cancer Surgery: Operative Procedures Based on the Embryological Anatomy of the Fascial Composition 1st ed. 2017 Edition

[amazon template=iframe image2&asin=9811023190]

This unique guide describes colorectal surgery procedures using medical terminology and anatomical terms originating from embryology.

In the last decade, laparoscopic procedures in gastrointestinal surgery have been enhanced and their safety has significantly improved. With the number of cases of colorectal cancer surgery increasing and laparoscopic surgery no longer considered a specialized surgery, the recognition of the correct anatomy is vital in these procedures. Unfortunately, however, the understanding of clinical anatomy is frequently separate from that of basic surgical concepts. Initially, the dissecting layer should be presumed to derive from the fascial anatomy based on embryological recognition. Furthermore, the techniques currently being used by surgeons should be described in sufficient detail and the appropriate anatomical terms should always be used. In view of this, this valuable monograph benefits gastrointestinal surgeons and general surgeons who are involved in the treatment of colorectal cancer.

Methods and Results of Liver Biopsy

[amazon template=iframe image2&asin=1632422778]

This book primarily focuses on the methods as well as results of the process of liver biopsy. Liver biopsy is the process of obtaining a small piece of liver tissue and analyzing it in the laboratory. Liver biopsy may be used to examine a mass seen on images, diagnose lesser known liver diseases or abnormal liver function tests and to assess the complexity of several liver diseases including hepatitis, fibrosis, and steatosis. Liver biopsy is an invasive procedure and its complications are rare but potentially fatal. Therefore, it is essential to perform liver biopsy safely from clinical aspect and to take specimen steadily from a pathological one. This book deals with various prospects of liver biopsy including role, indication, technique and assessment. It also discusses novel non-invasive alternatives encompassing elastography and computer analysis of liver fibrosis.
