Diseases of the Esophagus
The third triennial congress of the International Society for Diseases of the Esophagus (lSDE) was held in Munich in September 1986 under the presidency of J. Rudiger Siewert. The very well organized and epoch-making meeting was part of the International Esophageal Week and was held in conjunction with the International Conference of Esophageal Diseases, the European Study Group of Diseases of the Esophagus (GEEMO), and International Organization for Statistical Studies of Esophageal Diseases (OESO). I am very pleased that it has been possible to publish the proceedings of the congress so rapidly. The problems associated with diseases of the esophagus are multifaceted, varying considerably a...

Esophageal Carcinoma
The Symposium "Esophageal Carcinoma - State of the Art" has aroused very great interest. The numerous enquiries have caused us to publish the congress proceedings in the present volume. Particular attention was paid to current topical problems. One of the areas on which the present volume focuses is the epidemiol ogy and pathology of esophageal adenocarcinoma. Compared to squamous epithelial carcinoma, this is increasing in incidence in Europe. Modern diagnostic methods are described such as laser induced fluorescence spectroscopy or the optical coherence endo scopic technique. The latter enables normal mucosa to be distin guished from dysplastic or malignant lesions, in contrast to ...

Esophageal Cancer Surgery
A specialist clinical monograph for thoracic and general surgeons who specialize in the treatment of esophageal cancer, supported by practical images and video. Esophageal cancer is a challenging area which includes the specialties of gastro-hepatology, radiology, radio-chemotherapy, anesthesia, psychology and surgery, requiring treatment by a multidisciplinary team. In this type of surgery tumors located in the middle and upper 1/3 present a particular challenge, so the author describes how the use of the Akiyama procedure can alleviate this, maximizing operative access. This content is suitable for practicing surgeons with a range of surgical experience, and the step-by-step approach is fully illustrated with both photographs and access to operative videos. Key points are described, and potential pitfalls explained.
Principles and Practice of Gastrointestinal Oncology
Thoroughly updated for its Second Edition, this text provides comprehensive, interdisciplinary coverage of gastrointestinal cancer, including molecular biology, diagnosis, medical, surgical, and radiation therapy, and palliative care. The initial section, Principles of Gastrointestinal Oncology, includes an expanded radiation oncology chapter, an extensively revised cancer genetics chapter, and a completely rewritten medical oncology chapter emphasizing new agents. Subsequent sections focus on esophageal, gastric, pancreatic, hepatocellular, biliary tree, and colorectal cancer. Coverage of each anatomic site includes epidemiology, screening, and prevention; molecular biology and genetics; pathology; anatomy and staging; and clinical management. The final section on uncommon cancers includes new chapters on neuroendocrine tumors and small bowel cancers. A companion Website provides instant access to the complete, fully searchable text.
Superficial Esophageal Neoplasm
This book, containing the proceedings of the 2000 Kyoto Symposium on Esophageal Cancer, is an important contribution for all types of physicians interested in both squamous and adenocarcinoma of the esophagus. The volume has great legitimacy and relevance. The symposia hosted by Professor Masayuki Imamura brought together the leaders in several disciplines from Japan with other acknowledged authorities from Europe, the United States, Australia, and other parts of Asia. Japan has long been a leader in making advances in understanding the pathology, diagnosis, and treatment of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, for several decades originally led by Professor Komei Nakayama and his students.

Operative Thoracic Surgery Fifth Edition
Previous editions of this book (formerly published in the Rob & Smith Series) have established it as the pre-eminent guide to thoracic surgery. The work is a major revision edited by two well-respected surgeons and includes a host of prestigious international contributors. A comprehensive reference to operative procedures in this area, the book illustrates each procedure by a series of high-quality, full colour line illustrations, accompanied by detailed notes on operative technique. Additional text describes the principles and justification of choosing each procedure, pre-operative assessment and preparation, post-operative care and outcomes. The book is a gold standard teaching aid on operative thoracic surgery, and in addition, an invaluable reference for experienced thoracic and cardiothoracic surgeons approaching unfamiliar or uncommon procedures.
Learning Dynamic Spatial Relations
Andreas Bihlmaier describes a novel method to model dynamic spatial relations by machine learning techniques. The method is applied to the task of representing the tacit knowledge of a trained camera assistant in minimally-invasive surgery. The model is then used for intraoperative control of a robot that autonomously positions the endoscope. Furthermore, a modular robotics platform is described, which forms the basis for this knowledge-based assistance system. Promising results from a complex phantom study are presented.
