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.
