Springer Nature Switzerland AG No Stones Left Unturned: Hans Kehr and His Contributions to Biliary Surgery from Inception to Worldwide Application in the Modern Era of Laparoscopic Surgery
Book SynopsisThis book is a tribute to early pioneers and later innovators in applications of surgical principles for biliary stone disease. It is written as a challenge to all surgeons applying these principles to approach the biliary system with the safest and most appropriate technical support. This book is also written as a challenge to all those involved in the training of future generations of surgeons in the hope that critical standards in biliary surgical management will be promulgated and highlighted. The text contains knowledge from surgical leaders who played a vital part in the modern management of biliary stone disease. These contributions include their perceptions, wisdom and recommendations for the future. In doing so, the authors aim to discover ways to make the surgical management of biliary stone disease even better. This volume, thoughtfully curated by two eminent surgical scholars, provides perhaps the most complete history of the field. Dr. Berci and Dr. Greene enlisted a remarkable panel of distinguished colleagues from around the world to discuss every important element of surgical practice. These elements include: The resourcefulness of developing novel optics and instruments on “the fly”, the integration of new imaging capabilities into pre-operative assessments and intraoperative management, the challenge of educating prideful senior surgeons who were ill at ease with the distance imposed by a laparoscope, and the introduction of progressively more elegant ex vivo modules to train inexperienced juniors with limited open operative experience. Finally, it also discusses the never-ending task of ensuring the safety of one of the most common operations performed in the world, yet one with a persistent, if small, risk of life altering injury to the biliary ducts. No Stones Left Unturned aims to build on a classic surgical text and then discusses the issues faced by surgeons performing biliary surgery in the modern era. It serves as a valuable resource for surgeons, practicing clinicians, surgical residents, and fellows that wish to apply this knowledge and improve upon the current standards of biliary surgical management.Table of ContentsPart IChapter I: The History of Biliary Stone Disease Chapter II: Professor Dr. Hans Kehr (1862 – 1916) Chapter III: Translation of Professor Dr. Hans Kehr, Chapter IV: The Anatomy and Variations of Important Structures of Biliary Anatomy Chapter V: Biliary Stones Chapter VI: Surgery Part IIChapter VII: History of Endoscopy Chapter VIII: Early Biliary Surgeons Chapter IX: Early American Surgeons Chapter X: Endoscopy Chapter XI: Laparoscopy Chapter XII: Advances in Visualization for Laparoscopic Surgery Chapter XIII: Laparoscopic Cholecystectomies Chapter XIV: Cholangiography in the Operating Room Chapter XV: Bile Duct Injuries Chapter XVI: Common Bile Duct Stones Chapter XVII: Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy: Introduction, Uptake, Maturity and Impact on Surgical Practice: Personal Reflections from the Shop Floor, by Professor Sir Alfred Cuschieri, MD Part IIICommentaries by Chapter XVIII: Desmond H.

Nova Science Publishers Inc Prophylaxis of Surgical Site Infection in
Book SynopsisSurgical site infection (SSI) is one of the most frequent complications after abdominal surgery as abdominal procedures are often clean-contaminated, contaminated or even dirty procedures, so long the gastrointestinal tract, plenty of microorganisms, is entered. SSI is associated with morbidity and mortality, and reduces the patients' quality of life after surgery. Moreover, it prolongs hospital stay and requires increased instrumentation, medication and complementary tests, altogether representing an economic burden for the Health Services. This has led to the development of several Guidelines and Consensus documents, including prophylactic measures to prevent SSI. Different scientific societies, including the World Health Organization (WHO), the Center for Disease Control (CDC), the American College of Surgeons (ACS) and the Surgical Infection Society (SIS), have published recommendations for the prevention of SSI in the last years. All the documents agree with most of the recommendations. However, the evidence grade of these recommendations is often low to moderate and with the aim to generalise these measures to all the surgical procedures, the extrapolations lead to a lowered evidence power. Thus, in some cases the force of the recommendations is based on the opinion of experts in the field. The aim of this book is to revise the actual evidence about these prophylactic measures in abdominal surgery.Table of ContentsFor more information, please visit our website at:https://novapublishers.com/shop/prophylaxis-of-surgical-site-infection-in-abdominal-surgery/

Nova Science Publishers Inc Liver Steatosis and Bariatric Surgery
Book SynopsisLiver steatosis or nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a progressive disorder characterized by the fat accumulation in the parenchyma of the liver. The progressive form of NAFLD called nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is the advanced condition that shows different grades of fibrosis, which could progress to cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma and liver-related morbidity and mortality. Bariatric surgery gains attention as a potential treatment for liver steatosis because different studies revealed an improvement in 90% of cases of fatty liver after surgery. The improvement occurred within the first year and persisted up to five years. Pathogenic mechanisms that are involved in the evolution steatosis are intimately connected with insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes (T2D) and the metabolic syndrome. Bariatric surgery is a powerful treatment to ameliorate all these conditions. The aim of this book is to update the actual evidence about liver steatosis, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis in morbidly obese patients, the diagnostic methods and the evolution after the different techniques of bariatric surgery.Table of ContentsPrefaceIntroduction to NAFLD and NASH: EtiopathogenesisEpidemiology and Relevance of NASH in Patients with Morbid ObesityFatty Liver Development: Imbalance between Acquisition and Removal of LipidsHistopathology of NAFLD and NASHLiver Biopsy as the "Gold Standard" in NASH DiagnosisConventional Imaging Tests for the Evaluation of NASHMR Spectroscopy and Quantification of Intrahepatocitary Lipid ContentBiochemical MarkersEvolution of Liver Steatosis after Sleeve GastrectomyLiver Steatosis and Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB)Liver Steatosis Regression after One Anastomosis Gastric BypassSADI-S: Characteristics and Results of a Novel Bariatric Surgery Technique -- The Role in NAFLD and NASHSimultaneous Liver Transplantation and Bariatric SurgeryNon-Surgical Treatment of NASH: The Other OptionsIndex.

Nova Science Publishers Inc Surgeon's Perspective on Dialysis Patient
Book SynopsisEvery year a large number of chronic patients undergo dialysis at dialysis departments in the Slovak Republic. Each one of them is connected to the artificial kidney 100 to 160 times. The most valuable property of these patients is a quality and long-term functioning arteriovenous fistula since it is one of the essential conditions for successful dialysis. The surgeon who creates arteriovenous access must thoroughly examine the patient before the operation, properly evaluate the vascular system and choose the most favourable way of the vascular access for long-term haemodialysis. Patients with chronic renal failure have impaired haemostasis, several of them have diabetes and their vascular system is affected by atherosclerosis. Determination of the operational plan and optimal vascular access is strictly individual and depends not only on the vascular system of the patient but also on the general condition, age and prognosis of the disease. A quality arteriovenous fistula should conform to the requirements of the simplest and the shortest operation as possible, using local anaesthesia. Underestimation of any fact can result in the creation of many non-functional AV fistulas. AV fistulas operations for the purpose of long-term haemodialysis are an integral part and one of the most problematic issues of Vascular Surgery. There are more and more patients who are in the long-term haemodialysis program. The average age of patients is increasing. All these factors have resulted in the need to create more and more AV fistulas because their usability is limited. The correct operational tactics, individual approach to the patient and precise surgical technique of the vascular surgeon contributes to the improvement of the quality of life of sick patients, of whom only a small percentage is so lucky that the disease is cured by successful kidney transplantation.Table of ContentsIntroduction; Vascular Access; Arteries and Veins of Upper Limbs; Chronic Kidney Disease from the Surgeons Perspective; External and Subcutaneous Arteriovenous Connections; Methods and Principles of Forming Arteriovenous Fistulae (Pre-operative Assessment, Patient and Operating Room Preparation, Postoperative Care); Monitoring of Vascular Accesses, Causes of Vascular Access Failures, and Prevention and Treatment Options; Complications of Arteriovenous Connection (Arteriovenous Fistulas); Long-term Central Venous Access PERMCATH; Repeated Formation Of An Arteriovenous Connection; Peritoneal Dialysis; Skin Covering in Dialysis Accesses from the Point of View of a Plastic Surgeon; Kidney Transplantation; Vascular Accesses and Possible Complications from the Cardiology Point of View; Case Studies of Patients at the Department of Vascular Surgery; Thoracosurgical Complications in Dialysis Patients; Skin Diseases Associated with Chronic Renal Failure; Index.

Nova Science Publishers Inc Hernias: Signs / Symptoms, Management & Surgical
Book SynopsisPatients affected with a hernia continue to represent a significant clinical population. Resulting from varied causes and associated with an array of pathophysiologies, a hernia can pose marked diagnostic and treatment challenges for the clinician. Sometimes sub-clinical and sometimes life-threatening, a hernia may require little or substantial medical intervention. This book consists of sixteen chapters by noted clinicians and scientists. Many chapters include background pathogenesis, typical symptoms experienced by patients, diagnostic measures, and therapeutic approaches. Current information is summarised and interpretations offered where appropriate. Basic pathogenic mechanisms and pathophysiology are considered in chapters such as those on the inheritance of a groin hernia (Burcharth and Rosenberg), and on alterations in arterial blood gases both before and after surgery (Tsounaki). These chapters make evident both the progress made in understanding the processes underlying hernias and related diseases, as well as the incomplete understanding we have with respect to such processes. Descriptions of clinical presentations, diagnostic approaches, and medical and surgical management are provided for several types of hernias, including inguinal, diaphragmatic, incisional, and Richter''s. The utility of new methods for correction, such as laparoscopy and components separation, is described in the chapters by Maxwell and Baird, Marescaux et al, Mazzochi et al, and Sabino et al. These chapters reflect the technological improvements that have been brought to the successful treatment of hernias. It is likely that, with time, further definitions and refinements will additionally advance the understanding and approaches to hernias. The goal of this book is to summarise our understanding of basic concepts of hernia, at present, as a reference for scientists and clinicians.

Nova Science Publishers Inc Role of Imaging Technology in Current Surgical
Book SynopsisThis book represents an effort to document the experience of a carefully-chosen group of international surgeons, regarding the use of imaging technology in their everyday practice. The aim of this book is to help medical students and surgeons at all levels of training and practice to understand the basics of the more common imaging techniques (CT, MRI, MRCP, US, XR, radionuclide scan, etc.), including their advantages and disadvantages and their optimal use and limitations. Following that, the application of these imaging modalities, including the most current developments, in the different fields and subspecialties of surgical practice (including, but not limited to, surgical oncology, neurosurgery, endocrine surgery breast surgery, hepatobiliary surgery, pancreatic surgery, transplantation, urology etc.) is presented in detail. What is important about this book is that it is written by an international group of surgeons who are experts in their respective fields and who offer us here their wisdom and experience, regarding what the communication between the surgeon and the radiologist should be, in order to provide these complex patients with the best possible care. Apart from the radiological and imaging tools commonly used in current practices, future prospects and challenges regarding how imaging technology can increase surgical efficiency in the future are explored. The overall goal of this book is to help surgeons in today''s technology-driven environment have a proper understanding of the use and limitations of modern imaging techniques.

Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG Ligament Balancing in Total Knee Arthroplasty: An Instructional Manual
Book Synopsis The varus knee has a group of bone and ligament abnormalities that must be addressed to correct the deformity. The mechanical axis of the femur is tilted medially relative to the long axis of the tibia. The distal femoral surface usually remains in valgus alignment to the long axis of the femur. Most of the varus deformity is caused by deficiency in the medial tibial plateau. The deep and superficial medial collateral ligaments are contracted and deformed by osteophytes.Table of Contents1.

Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG Transfixation: Atlas of Anatomical Sections for the External Fixation of Limbs
Book SynopsisThe past 25 years have seen a progressive improvement in external fixation techniques in terms of patient acceptability, ease of appli- cation and apparatus stability. The recent awareness in Europe of the method, application and excellent results of the technique pio- neered by G. A. I1izarov has caused a rapid increase here in the number of surgeons who have become "banderilleros". In particu- lar, external fixators can be used in the treatment of difficult clini- cal conditions, such as severe fractures and their sequelae, as well as for the correction of congenital deformities of the peripheral skeleton. As one of the first in France to use the lIizarov method, I became increasingly aware that we needed an updating of anatomical knowledge oriented towards this technique, which uses multiple fixation pins. Without this anatomical infonnation, there is real danger of damaging neuro-vascular structures or entering ajoint in the course of assembling the fixator. Traditional anatomical cross- sections are often inadequate or too schematic to serve as a safe guide for the surgeon using this particular technique. This is the reason why my colleagues Claude Faure and Philippe Merloz have produced and analysed a series of anatomical cross-sections of the limbs to serve this particular need.Table of ContentsPreparation and Analysis of the Cross-sections.- A.
