Tips and Techniques in Laparoscopic Surgery
Jean-Louis Dulucq
editore: Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. K
pagine: 257
Performing a surgical operation could be compared to na- gating inside the human body. Two essential requirements are necessary for a successful apprenticeship: ? A perfect understanding of the roadmap, the anatomy ? Regular training with expert surgeon teachers showing str- egies, tactics, manoeuvres, and gestures to make the journey safe, efficient and fast For decades this was the way taken by apprentice-surgeons and also by surgeons already in practice concerned about upd- ing their knowledge. For years their only travelling companions were books, drawings, and pictures. However, printed medium cannot satisfactorily and properly reproduce the movements of a manoeuvring surgeon. In open surgery, only the two first - sistants can precisely capture by direct vision what is happ- ing in the depth of the operating field. Therefore, the duration of apprenticeship is long and restricted to a small number of people per teacher. The introduction of movie cameras into the operating rooms improved the quality of surgical education. But filming in open surgery is not so easy.
The cameraperson has to be well trained to catch good takes in the depth of a pit between the heads, shoulders, and fingers of the surgeon and assistants. Most of the time, those constraints disturb the op- ator's manoeuvres, altering their pedagogical value. With the introduction of laparoscopic surgery (LS), using a video camera providing images in real time on a television screen, everything changed.

Laparoscopic Urologic Surgery in Malignancies
Gill S Inderbir , Jean J. M. C. H. de la Rosette
editore: Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. K
pagine: 324
The horizons of laparoscopic surgery are expanding, such that the overwhelming majority of abdominal urologic procedures have now been performed laparoscopically. In some of these procedures, the laparoscopic alternative has been demonstrated to be superior to its open counterpart; in others comparative analyses are ongoing; and in yet others, only the initial forays into minimally invasive surgery have been undertaken. This book sets out to collate the current body of knowledge on laparoscopic urology under one cover. The authors are respected experts in the field and have provided concise, thoughtful updates on their respective topics. The information contained in this volume will help urologists to increase their laparoscopic knowledge and skills.

Operation Atlas of Hepato-pancreato-biliary Surgery
Collected Case Studies
Hidenori Miyake , Seiki Tashiro
editore: Springer Verlag Japan
pagine: 342
This work bridges a gap that exists in the field of hepato-pancreato-biliary surgery: the scarcity of surgical atlases dealing with the individual peculiarities that change from patient to patient and which are of critical importance in determining the outcome of an operation. Previous atlases dealt with the subject in broad strokes, for example advocating right hepatic lobectomy for liver cancer or pancreatoduodenectomy for cancer of the pancreatic head. That approach takes little or no account of the needs of the individual, which can vary greatly, even in patients with similar conditions or whose cancer has spread to the same extent. The editors have produced an experience-based atlas that illustrates just how effective surgery can be when the finer details of previous cases are considered. Even in cases of advanced cancer, which account for 80 per cent of the studies in this book, remarkable results are possible when the appropriate techniques are fully utilized.

New Procedures in Open Hernia Surgery
Francesco Corcione
editore: Springer Editions
pagine: 139
The inguinal hernia represents the most significant aspect of the technical and technological evolution of the second half of the 20th century, still in vogue at the beginning of this new millennium. We passed in fact, from a whole series of tra- ditional procedures, with small variations, to the most modern ones with prosthesis, to arrive then to the laparoscopy. A surgical disease, which counts more than 200 different kinds of operations, as in the case of the inguinal hernia, does not exist. This is due to the whole sur- gical category's interest towards this disease, as well as to the fact that many sur- geons try to create some new techniques, and to propose "new" prosthetic mate- rials to the Companies in order to personalize and facilitate the procedure. Recently, in this context, within the open surgery field, several variations and a great number of other prosthetic procedures have been added to the original "Tension-free hernioplasty", described by Irving Lichtenstein at the beginning of the '70s, but widespread only at the end of the '80s.
Some of these prosthetic techniques had a remarkable diffusion all over the world, while others were adopted only in certain countries. In the last few years some posterior repairs arose and this is the reason why, thanks to a wonderful day-congress in Naples, with every most modern open inguinal hernia repairs, realized with live-surgery, we had the idea to summarize and to illustrate them in this book.

Guida pratica al trattamento del paziente chirurgico e traumatizzato in Pronto Soccorso
Giuseppe Ciccone , Francesca Perlasca
editore: Centro Scientifico Editore
pagine: 418
L'opera realizzata da autori con esperienza pluridecennale in area chirurgico-traumatologica di Pronto Soccorso, vuole essere una guida pragmatica, di utile consultazione e che fornisca nozioni sull'approccio al paziente traumatizzato e chirurgico acuto, su mezzi diagnostici e su tecniche e terapie di più recente introduzione. Proprio perché il destinatario è il medico di Pronto Soccorso multidisciplinare, e non quello di Medicina d'Urgenza, ampio spazio è stato dedicato alle lesioni che possono essere trattate direttamente in Pronto Soccorso, mentre per altre, quali ad esempio la frattura del femore o l'appendicite acuta, di competenza degli specialisti del DEA, sono stati forniti solo elementi per la diagnosi circostanziata.
