This comprehensive and easy-to-read review of all the surgical and laparoscopic procedures now used for the GI tract is designed for the nonsurgically trained physician who must care for postsurgical patients. It provides clear illustrations, discussions of accompanying anatomical and physiological changes, advice on patient management, and medical pearls. Topics range from esophageal and gastric surgery to abdominal hernia, from small and large bowel procedures to hepatic, biliary, pancreatic, aortic, and peritoneal operations. This is a unique book that covers the concepts and practices that underlie gastrointestinal surgery and are crucial to today's best management of patients.
