Book SynopsisThe second edition of Surgical Treatment of Hemorrhoids covers this important and common disorder, offering a comprehensive critical analysis of advantages and disadvantages of recognized treatment options, covering both recent advances and traditional treatments in the field. The topics covered include essential elements of diagnosis, surgical technique and after-care for the main operations used in hemorrhoid surgery. Providing authoritative in-depth presentations of all perspectives and latest techniques available, the individual procedures are each described by an internationally recognized expert, and the full range of treatment options is covered.

Book SynopsisThe aim of this book is to identify and shed new light on the main surgical practices involved in acute care and trauma surgery. Adopting an evidence-based approach, a multidisciplinary team of surgeons and intensivists illustrate basic and advanced operative techniques, accompanied by a comprehensive and updated reference collection. Emerging surgical procedures in Acute Care Surgery are also explored step by step with the help of ample illustrations. Further, the book offers an overview of treatment options for acute organ failure, with a focus on peculiar clinical situations that call for special treatment, including: extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), circulatory support and urgent liver transplantation. In order to identify the key determinants in decision-making and therapeutic support that can help avoid critical errors, authors not only define and discuss specific surgical techniques, but also present major issues and controversies related to it. In essence, the book can be considered a “What to do guide” that offers easy access to both basic and advanced lifesaving surgical procedures, due in part to text boxes highlighting “Tips, Tricks and Pitfalls” as well as advice on “Complications Management”. Many chapters are enriched by providing clinical case scenarios, an important educational resource including self–assessment questionnaires.Trade Review“Senior trainees and providers are an appropriate audience. … This book is an effective combination of the evolution in European thinking with considered inclusion of the North American approach to trauma care. The scope is expansive and reference lists feature major contributions from both North America and Europe. … this book adequately presents the growing number of techniques and treatment strategies available to acute care surgeons.” (David J.

Book SynopsisExplores the world of surgeons from their own perspective how they perceive themselves, their work, colleagues, and communities. This book uses the central metaphor of the surgical 'miracle' by illuminating the drama of the operating room, where surgeons and patients alike expect heroic performance.Trade Review"Joan Cassell's book is fair-minded and unsparing. A meticulous dissection of The Surgeon by an observer whose gaze is as sharp and precise as a scalpel. For me there was a shock of recognition on every page." --Richard Selzer, M.D., Yale Medical School (retired), and author of Mortal Lessons: Notes on the Art of Surgery and Letters to a Young Doctor "The most explicit account I have read about what surgeons do; what their experiences are like; what they are like; what they think about their successes and failures; and what an astonishing variety of experiences of being a surgeon there are. Written with great clarity and considerable grace... I hope this book will become assigned reading for surgeons, surgical residents, medical students with interest in surgery, surgical nurses and technicians, and anyone who has to undergo a surgical procedure. A fine achievement." --Arthur Kleinman, M.D., Ph.D., Department of Social Medicine, Harvard Medical School, Department of Anthropology, Harvard University "Joan Cassell gives us valuable insight into the mores, the high professional standards--as well as the lapse in and abuse of these standards--and the 'esprit de corps' of the 'fellowship of surgeons.'

Book SynopsisAlthough benign biliary disease is an area in which many surgeons have experience, there are many nuances to providing the highest quality of surgical care. The biliary anatomy is unique but presents with anatomical variances and can be distorted by benign pathology. Biliary surgery has been one of the areas where minimally invasive techniques were first applied in the late 1980s. However, surgical technique has continued to evolve due to acquisition of advanced minimal surgical skills and improvement in surgical technology. The expertise, sage, and knowledge of the members of the Society of American Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgery (SAGES) have prioritized the creation of this manual on modern biliary surgery.This manual will provide the standard for the current state of biliary surgery in the 21st century. The SAGES Manual of Biliary Surgery will align with the new SAGES University Masters program. The Manual supplements the Masters Program Biliary Surgery Pathway. Its goal is to help the surgeon progress from the competent to the proficient and finally to the mastery level. Both for the surgical trainee and senior surgeon, this guidebook will also give insight into modern evaluation and management. The highlights will emphasize what is both feasible and safe from a minimally invasive approach in biliary surgery. The concept of Safe Cholecystectomy will be defined and expounded on in detail. The difficult cholecystectomy will be given ample coverage to include management of intraoperative bile duct injury, indications and techniques of subtotal cholecystectomy, and special attention to intraoperative diagnostic imaging that serve as adjuncts, including cholangiograpy, ultrasound, as well as indocyanine green biliary fluorescence. We will review the updated international Tokyo guidelines for acute cholecystitis. Furthermore, the evolution of treatment of choledocohlithiasis has evolved the most in recent years, and thus requires an extensive discussion of the non-operative and operative management of bile duct stones.This text will serve as an important contribution to the medical literature sponsored by SAGES, an international leading authority in gastrointestinal surgery with a keen interest in safe and proficient biliary surgery. Leaders in the field of biliary surgery will impart their insight and considerable experience in the chapters planned for this manual. The intent for this manual is to be the cited resource for high quality and applicable knowledge for the treatment of benign biliary disease.Trade ReviewTable of ContentsIntroduction to Biliary Manual.- Biliary Anatomy.- Basic Principles of Safe Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy.- Preoperative Optimization for Elective Cholecystectomy.- Preoperative Imaging in Patients Undergoing Cholecystectomy.- Choosing the Best Timing for Cholecystectomy.- When to Perform a Cholecystectomy after Percutaneous Cholecystostomy Tube Placement.- Intraoperative Cholangiography (IOC): Important Aid in Biliary and Common Bile Duct Surgery.- Intraoperative Indocyanine Green during Cholecystectomy.- Laparoscopic Biliary Ultrasound.- The Difficult Cholecystectomy.- Non Operative Management of Common Bile Duct Stones: ERCP & Other Techniques (Lithotripsy).- Common Bile Duct Exploration.- Management of Common Bile Duct Injury.- Operative Management of Bile Duct Injury in the Presence of Prior Roux-en-Y.- Management of Common Bile Duct Tones in the Presence of Prior Roux-en-Y.- Advanced Biliary Procedures.

Book Synopsis This comprehensive, multi-authored book covers all aspects of surgery on obese patients in emergency conditions. Obesity is a metabolic disease affecting a high percentage of world population.. It involves marked anthropometric changes, affecting surgical practice and altering patients’ ability to react to surgical stress. The prevalent comorbidities also affect the rate of complications and mortality after surgery. The obesity paradox, the ability of obese patients to survive emergency operations in spite of an increased risk of complications, is an effect of the widespread development of “Obesity Science”. This volume discusses this science, examining the frailty of the obese patients and the main comorbidities that affect clinical practice, as well as the most frequent emergency situations after trauma, inflammatory diseases and the complications of bariatric surgery.With contributions from leading experts, it provides clinicians with detailed and updated information for better practice in this emerging field of surgery.Trade ReviewTable of ContentsForeword.- 1 The frailty of the obese patients and the effect of surgical stress.- 2 Emergency anaesthesia in the obese patient.- 3 Perioperative and intensive care management of the obese surgical patient.- 4 Postoperative complications in ICU.- 5 The ERAS protocol.- I CLINICAL SETTINGS IN OBESE PATIENTS.- 6 Trauma and burns in obese patients.- 7 Perforations of the upper gastrointestinal tract.- 8 Acute Diverticolitis.- 9 Acute appendicitis.- 10 Pancreatic and biliary emergencies.- 11 Bowel obstruction.- 12 Abdominal compartment syndrome.- II CLINICAL SETTING AFTER BARIATRIC SURGERY.- 13 The evolution and development of bariatric surgery.- 14 Metabolic complications after b.s.: the faulse acute Abdomen.- 15 Complications after bariatric surgery.: a general overview.- 16 Complications of BIB therapy.- 17 Complications of restrictive operation.- 18 Upper G-I bleeding after bariatric surgery.- 19 Peptic ulcer after bariatric surgery.- 20 Bowel obstruction after bariatric surgery.- 21 Acute peritonitis and abscess after bariatric surgery.- 22 Anastomotic leakage after bariatric Surgery: from prevention to treatment.- 23 Gallstones and related complications, cholecistitis and Cholangitis after bariatric surgery.- 24 Emergencies After bariatric surgery: the role of flexible endoscopy and interventional radiology.- 25 Extreme remedial surgery for b.s. acute complications.- 26 Accreditation of the surgeon to emergency bariatric surgery.- 27 Litigation after bariatric surgery.

Book SynopsisThe thorax has a fundamental role in the aesthetic of the male body: congenital or acquired alterations are experienced as extremely frustrating clinical situations. Most breast surgery texts briefly mention gynecomastia, but no text comprehensively addresses the male breast and thorax, including reconstructive and cosmetic surgery and surgery in transgender patients. This gap is now thoroughly filled by Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery of the Male Breast: after introducing principles of anatomy and aesthetics for the male thorax, the first part focusses on the main congenital malformations and their treatment; the main benign acquired pathologies and their treatment (including an ample section dedicated to gynecomastia), the carcinoma of the male breast, with reference to familiar forms; the treatment of carcinoma and reconstruction of the thorax. The book closes with a chapter dedicated to breast surgery in transgender patients. While female breast surgery is increasingly practiced in specific Breast Units and highly specialized centers, male breast issues are treated in general and plastic surgeries units. This handy volume is a sound reference for the most complex clinical cases, and the latest reconstruction treatments for the male thorax and will be useful for general and thoracic surgeons, plastic surgeons and senologists.Trade ReviewTable of ContentsPart 1 Aesthetic Aspects of the Male Chest.- 1 Arts and Aesthetics of Male Chest.- Part 2 Anatomy of the Male Chest.- 2 Preoperative considerations on the thorax: Anatomy and Surgical Landmarks.- Part 3 Male Chest Congenital Pathologies.- 3 Poland syndrome.- 4 Pectus excavatum.- Pectus carenatum.- Part 4 Benign Pathologies of Male Breast.- 6 Gynecomastia.- 7 Gynecomastia after massive weight loss: reshaping with intercostal perforator flaps.- 8 Male Tuberous Breast.- Part 5 Oncologic Pathologies of Male Breast.- 9 Skin Tumors of the Male Chest.- 10 Male Breast Cancer: Oncology.- 11 Male Breast Cancer: Oncologic Surgery.- 12 Male Breast Cancer: Reconstructive Surgery.- Part 6 Anterior Chest Wall Reconstruction.- 13 Chest Fistula repair.- 14 Reconstruction with Pedicled Flaps.- 15 Reconstruction with Free Flaps.- Part 7 Feminization of the Male Chest.- 16 Augmentation mammoplasty.- Part 8 Masculinization of the Female chest.- 17 Masculinization of the Female chest.
