Laparoscopic Colorectal Surgery
Laparoscopic Colorectal Surgery, Second Edition is fully revised and updated and reflects an authoritative, team-oriented approach to the latest state-of-the-art laparoscopic colorectal procedures and surgical techniques. Written by pioneers in the field, this text will supply surgeons with all the information necessary to accomplish advanced laparoscopic procedures. Comprehensive discussions of positioning, instrumentation, cannulas, surgical techniques, special considerations, and considerations in cancer surgery are featured for a wide variety of major operative procedures. This new Second Edition includes updated information on laparoscopic colorectal procedures, including hand-assisted laparoscopic procedures and new chapters on the physiology of pneumoperitoneum, laparoscopic anatomy of the colon and rectum, and evidence-based discussion of outcomes. The text is complemented by over 200 line drawings created exclusively for the textbook.
Difficult Decisions in Colorectal Surgery
This multi-authored book contains brief chapters devoted to one or two specific questions or decisions in colon and rectal surgery that are difficult or controversial. It is a current and timely reference source for practicing surgeons, surgeons in training, and educators that describes the recommended ideal approach, rather than customary care, in selected clinical situations. Just like the other volumes in this series, the chapters in Difficult Decisions in Colorectal Surgery adhere to a specific format. This approach provides uniformity to the presentations, making it possible to identify useful material at a glance.
Minimally Invasive Cancer Management
As minimal access approaches to cancer diagnosis, staging, and therapy become more widely used, it is vital for general surgeons, along with laparoscopists, surgical oncologists and medical oncologists, to stay up to date. The editors, a team consisting of a renowned surgical oncologist and a laparoscopic specialist, aim to provide a resource for the practicing general surgeon using basic minimally invasive techniques. The book discusses diagnosis including biopsy with microinstrumentation, staging, and palliative and curative resection. Specific tumor sites are addressed, including esophagus, stomach, spleen, small bowel, pancreato-biliary, hepatic resection, and colo-rectal resection. Mini...
Robert Capa
The legendary war photographer Robert Capa carried into his personal life the same remarkable vitality that characterizes his pictures. Driven from his native Hungary by political oppression, he was first recognized for photographing the Spanish Civil War. In 1938 he was in China recording the Japanese invasion. During World War II he was in London, North Africa, and Italy, and then in France covering D-Day on Omaha Beach, the liberation of Paris, and the Battle of the Bulge. When the new nation of Israel was founded in 1948 he was there. In 1954 he was in Vietnam, taking photographs until the moment he was killed. Away from battle, Capa gather about him such famous people as Ernest Hemingway and his wife (the war correspondent Martha Gellhorn), Gary Cooper, Irwin Shaw, and Gene Kelly. Whelan shows Capa photographing the street life of Paris, crisscrossing America on assignment from Life, in Russia with John Steinbeck, in Italy with John Huston, on the Riviera with Picasso, and with Ingrid Bergman.
General Surgery
General Surgery: Principles and International Practice is organized over two volumes into ten Sections, each representing an important branch of surgical science. Amply supported by line drawings and photographs, algorithms and anatomical depictions, it provides illustrative, instructive and comprehensive coverage depicting the rationale for the basic operative principles mandated by state-of-the-art surgical therapy.
Double Take
"Seventy pairs of photographs, ranging in date from the earliest days of the medium to the present, document instances where, by direct influence or pure coincidence, two photographers were drawn to identical or very similar subjects. Though alike in content, the photographs within the pairs are strikingly different - unique in their formal and technical details and in the varying perceptions they describe." -- Cover flap.
Advances toward improved understanding and treatment of uncommon ovarian cancer types and subtypes
Ovarian cancer is an umbrella term for a collection of distinct disease entities (histotypes). Until now, the majority of research has focussed on the most common histotype, high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC), which accounts for 70% of cases. The less common histotypes – including endometrioid, clear cell, mucinous, low-grade serous, carcinosarcoma, and non-epithelial histotypes – have received far less research attention. Accordingly, while major advances in our understanding of HGSOC have led to molecularly-directed therapies that improve patient outcomes, progress in less common histotypes has lagged behind. Notably, many of the uncommon histotypes demonstrate resistance to conventional chemotherapy regimens, and their inherent biological differences suggest most are unlikely to respond to emerging molecular therapeutics designed to target the biology of common ovarian cancer types.
Mastery of Surgery
This authoritative two-volume reference represents the core procedural knowledge taught in most surgical residency programs. This edition has new procedures in bariatric surgery, hernia surgery, and vascular surgery, and includes a large number of international contributors. Editorial comments at the end of each chapter provide additional insight.
