Book SynopsisThis atlas demonstrates how to perform each available extraperitoneal hernia repair via a set of high-quality annotated images showing step-by-step guidance on how to perform the surgery. Robotic extraperitoneal hernia procedures are considered great teaching procedures especially with a dual teaching console. The book bridges the gap between traditional hernia and laparoscopic hernia texts by combining both approaches to create a book with a unique visual approach. Preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative figures are integrated to highlight the importance of these step-by-step procedures, enhance skill and efficiency, and avoid surgical pitfalls. Detailed descriptive figures accompany step-by-step instructions and include specific anatomical annotations that describe the anatomy and layers of the abdominal wall during hernia procedures. Robotic Hernia Surgery provides a comprehensive, insightful and state-of-art review of this field, and serves as a valuable resource for surgeons, surgeons in training, and students with an interest in hernia and robotic hernia surgery.Table of ContentsRobotic Transabdominal Preperitoneal Repair for Subxiphoid Hernia (TAPP).- Robotic Epigastric Hernia Repair: Totally Extraperitoneal (TEP).- Robotic Umbilical Hernia Repair: Totally Extraperitoneal (TEP).- Robotic Hybrid Ventral Hernia Repair: Totally Extraperitoneal (TEP).- Robotic Supra-pubic Hernia Repair Transabdominal Preperitoneal (TAPP).- Robotic Posterior Component Separation.- Robotic Extended Totally Extraperitoneal (reTEP) Midline Ventral Hernia Repair.- Robotic Subcostal Hernia Repair: Totally Extraperitoneal (TEP).- Hybrid Robotic Lateral Incisional Hernia Repair: Totally Extraperitoneal (TEP).- Robotic Totally Extraperitoneal (TEP) Flank Hernia Repair.- Robotic Parastomal Hernia Repair.- Robotic Lumbar Hernia Repair: Totally Extraperitoneal (TEP).- Robotic Iliac Hernia Repair: Totally Extraperitoneal (TEP).- Robotic Inguinoscrotal Hernia Repair: Transabdominal Preperitoneal (TAPP).- Robotic Direct Inguinal Hernia Repair: Transabdominal Preperitoneal (TAPP).- Robotic Anterior Component Separation.

Book SynopsisThis book presents current evidence in an Enhanced Recovery Programme context, and provides a common sense approach to using the array of available analgesia techniques appropriately in major abdominal surgery. Current pain relief options are discussed, many of which have been described only in the last ten years. Topics covered range from the now widespread use of portable ultrasound machines to an appreciation of the value of some older drugs in a new context. Analgesia for Major Abdominal Surgery is aimed at anesthetists, acute pain teams, and acute pain nurses, as well as colorectal, hepatobiliary, urological and gynecological surgeons.Trade Review“This book will be a valuable addition to the library of students, practicing anesthesiologists, and acute and chronic pain teams, because it describes the various drugs and techniques used since inception of the subject … . The in-depth description of invasive techniques supplemented by actual color photographs and 3D illustrations offer an important resource for students to learn pain management through the first year of residency, the practicing ‘generalist,’ and a quick reckoner for the ‘regionalist.’” (Nishant Kumar, Anesthesia & Analgesia, Vol. 129 (5), November, 2019)Table of ContentsSection 1: Background.- Introduction to cover Enhanced Recovery Programmes and contextualize advance in surgery and analgesic options.- Anatomy of the Nerve Innervation of the Abdominal Cavity & Types of Pain with Illustrations of Different Surgical Approaches.- Multimodal simple analgesia.- Opiates & Routes of delivery.- Section 2: Regional Techniques.- Central Neuraxial Blocks.- Continuous Paravertebral Blocks.- Psoas Compartment Blocks.- Abdominal Wall Blocks: Transabdominus Plane (TAP) Blocks.- Abdominal Wall Blocks: Rectus Sheath Catheters.- Continuous Wound Infusions Catheters.- Section 3: Non-opioid analgesics.- Lidocaine Infusions.- Gabapentinoids.- Ketamine.- Dexamethazone.

Book SynopsisA handbook for obstetrics and gynecology residents who are starting to elaborate on laparoscopic surgery which does not aim to present new techniques nor to illustrate the history and evolution of laparoscopic surgery. Instead the authors have created a comprehensive text able to provide the minimum knowledge for one to operate safely and with confidence. They believe that a minimum proficiency in laparoscopy is necessary for every new gynecologist.The book has been designed to live in every resident's pocket and not his library. To stimulate further studying a list of suggested literature can be found at the end of each chapter.In recent years laparoscopy has been used more and more in the management of gynecologic cancer we felt that it was necessary to allocate a significant portion of this handbook on the laparoscopic management of gynecologic malignancies. In addition a chapter on robotic surgery has been included. At the end of this handbook the reader can find algorithms regarding troubleshooting and management of emergency situations in laparoscopy.
