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.

Book SynopsisHip arthroscopy has seen significant developments in the last 25 years. Until a decade ago, it was considered an emerging surgical technique, but today it is an established and effective treatment for various hip pathologies. The development of hip arthroscopy is strictly linked with the evolution of the concept of femoroacetabular impingement. The description of this new pathology and the open surgical treatment described by Professor Ganz were actually the basis for the development of hip arthroscopy. Femoroacetabular impingement is, nowadays, the main indication for hip arthroscopy. Femoroacetabular syndrome should be regarded as a triad of symptoms, clinical signs and imaging findings. The goal of the treatment, in these cases, should not be simple anatomic correction but to obtain a hip without impingement in the normal range of motion. In addition, labrum, cartilage, capsule and soft tissues should be evaluated and lesions should be treated. In particular, the role of the labrum has been investigated during the last several years and several techniques for labral repair and labral reconstruction have been developed. Despite the progress in diagnosis and treatment of several hip pathologies, the exact indications of hip arthroscopy are still debated. Defining the limits for arthroscopic treatment in cases of advanced osteoarthritis, bone deformity and periarticular soft tissues pathologies is one of the goals of current investigations concerning hip arthroscopy. This book is intended as a guide to the innovation and development in hip arthroscopy over the last 10 years ranging from an update of the surgical indications to rehabilitation after hip arthroscopy. In every chapter, an expert in hip arthroscopy discusses a specific subject focusing on latest trends and surgical techniques. Attention is focused especially on surgical indications, patient positioning and approaches, labral and capsular management, ischiofemoral impingement management, extra-articular pathologies, trauma and finally post-operative rehabilitation.Table of ContentsPreface; Introduction; FAI Indications: Anything New?; Postless-Technique in Hip Arthroscopy; Access to the Hip: Whats New?; Labral Repair: Anything New?; Labral Reconstruction (Graft); Capsular Repair; Ischio-Femoral Impingement; Gluteus Medius Repair; Maximus Release-Polesello Technique: The Endoscopic Gluteus Maximus Tendon Release; Posterior Hip Pain; Hip Arthroscopy in Trauma; Rehabilitation After Hip Arthroscopy: Whats New?; Index.

Book SynopsisColoproctology is a surgical specialty which dynamically changes every few years. There is a profusion of colorectal textbooks but specialty series on particularly complex topics as well as on the specialized management approach for trainees and training colorectal surgeons are actually few. The aim of this text is a superior quality colorectal book written by world experts targeted at senior surgical and colorectal trainees and young consultant coloproctologists in current areas of subspecialty expertise. The structure of the chapters is current and is based on what does not appear and is not addressed in current colorectal textbooks. This series has proven useful in areas already represented, including Neurosurgery, Vascular Surgery, Transplantation Surgery, etc. The text is aimed at being relatively didactic with an algorithm approach to specialized areas within coloproctology which could potentially be updated every 3 years or so with new topics to create a set for didactic training in colorectal surgery. It is anticipated that these texts will become valuable teaching textbooks and part of every coloproctologist’s armamentarium as well as appealing to all general surgeons and surgical trainees engaged in complex elective and emergency colorectal surgery. Trade ReviewFrom the reviews:“This concise book explores the most technically difficult and debatable aspects of colon and rectal surgery. … It is targeted at residents in training and practicing surgeons, but, in my estimation, the most appropriate audience is practicing colon and rectal specialists. … This is an excellent reference, providing expert opinion and relevant and current references in addressing … most advanced issues in colorectal surgery. I will use this as a starting point in tackling the most difficult problems my patients present.” (John C. Byrn, Doody’s Review Service, June, 2010)“Edited and written by a team of experts in their respective fields with 57 illustrations this is essentially an educational manual with an algorithm approach and valuable reading for trainees in coloproctology … . The editors set out to address some of the most difficult and controversial problems as well as new areas of development for practitioners of colorectal surgery. It will be invaluable as a reference source and guide for those who are seeking practical information about complex procedures.” (ICS News, Vol. 7 (1), January, 2011)Table of ContentsGenetic Approaches to Colorectal Cancer.- Multivisceral Resection in Rectal Cancer.- Colonic Stenting.- Chemotherapy Trials for Colorectal Cancer in Advanced Disease: What’s the Current Hypothesis?.- Current Clinical Trials in Radiotherapy for Rectal Cancer.- Quality of Life Issues and Rectal Cancer.- Managing Presacral Tumors.- Revisional Pouch Surgery.- Surgery for Fecal Incontinence.- Recurrent Rectal Cancer.- The Surgical Management of Evacutory Dysfunction.- New Approaches in Perineal Crohn’s Disease.- Complex Anal Fistula.- Rectovaginal and Rectourethral Fistula.- Surgeon-Performed Ultrasound in Proctologic Practice.- Changing Paradigms in the Treatment of Sigmoid Diverticulitis.

Book SynopsisIn the past, liver resections and liver transplantations were performed by different surgical teams, with very little interplay between the two. However, the evolution toward more complex operations called for an increasingly intense interaction between these surgical techniques: split liver and living donor liver transplantation have become popular in the transplant community, utilizing the Coinaud segmental anatomy in a very sophisticated way, while portal and arterial resection and reconstruction have become indispensable methods for treating Klatskin tumors infiltrating the hepatic hilum. This book offers a complete overview of the connections between liver transplantation and hepatobiliary surgery. It focuses on ex situ techniques for resection of tumors at the suprahepatic confluence, with or without venous reconstruction, and on total vascular exclusion of the liver with the aid of a venovenous bypass that should be a surgical option for referral centers in hepatopancreatobiliary surgery. By taking into consideration the development of minimally invasive liver surgery, it will introduce readers to a variety of new perspectives such as: vascular exclusion techniques with or without extracorporeal circulation, hemodynamic implications and lessons learned from liver transplant surgery, and technical details on pediatric transplantation and its informative role in modern biliary tract surgery.
