Textbook of Surgical Gastroenterology (2 Vols. + DVD)

Description

Textbook of Surgical Gastroenterology is a highly illustrated, two volume resource for residents and practising surgeons.
Divided into 124 chapters across ten sections, this comprehensive textbook covers a vast range of gastroenterological conditions and their surgical management. The book begins with a general section, covering imaging, infections and antibiotics, radiation therapy, nutritional support for hospitalised patients, statistics, and interventional radiology.

Subsequent sections cover specific parts of the gastrointestinal system, including oesophagus, stomach, pancreas, gall bladder, liver, spleen, and colon. Each section begins with a chapter on anatomy, before covering the surgical treatment of various disorders.

The penultimate section of Textbook of Surgical Gastroenterology provides extensive information on liver transplantation, and the final section covers miscellaneous topics in gastroenterology. This book is enhanced by 1200 images, and includes two DVDs with guidance on seven surgical procedures.
