Laparoendoscopic Single-Site Surgery (LESS) and Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery (NOTES) are based on the premise that patients should benefit in terms of recovery time, physical discomfort, pain, and cosmesis if a surgical procedure can be performed without visible scarring. Scar-Less Surgery: NOTES, Transumbilical, and Others is a multi-disciplinary effort which weaves together the surgical aspects of these novel techniques. It is the first comprehensive reference on the subject providing state-of-the-art technical information to both general and urologic surgeons while also highlighting future developments and research needs.
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.
With the rapid development of surgical techniques, minimally invasive surgery has become the focal point of medical innovation technology. This book aims to introduce a comprehensive and advanced techniques of natural orifice specimen extraction surgery (NOSES). Firstly, the development process and the current status of NOSES worldwide were described. Secondly, various surgical procedures of NOSES in gastrointestinal, hepatobiliary, splenopancreatic, urogynecologic and general surgeries were elaborated, including indications and contraindications, detailed surgical steps, technical key points and operational skills. Thirdly, controversial hot topics, technical difficulties and key issues for each surgical procedure were discussed. Experience and lessons learned in practical application were also shared by experts in different fields. It is not only suitable for the gastrointestinal surgeons but also surgeons working in gastrointestinal, hepatobiliary, splenopancreatic, and urogynecologic surgeries.

The purpose of this book is to define the basis of telemicrosurgery, a new discipline at the border of robotics and microsurgery. After the history of robotics and microsurgery, the robots and their instrumentation will be described. The chapters will explain the training in telemicrosurgery and then propose some experimental paradigms. The first clinical applications for various specialties will be explored. In closing, potential future applications will be discussed.
Minimally Invasive Surgical Oncology is aimed at the minimal invasive surgeon as well as at the general surgeon and surgical trainee who wish to explore this field. It covers disciplines like gastroenterology, gynecology, urology, thoracic and pediatrics and builds bridges to oncologists and internal medicine. It gives a state-of-the art overview and perspectives for future developments and research as well. The book serves as an operative guide for a new generation of surgeons and offers the extraordinary feature being a text book, an operative atlas and a quick reference guide as well. The reader is provided with a tool in hand which synthesizes the latest knowledge in traditional therapies like chemotherapies and gives a comprehensive overview how to proceed in treating a cancer patient using minimal access techniques.
Robotics began as a science fiction creation which has become quite real, first in assembly line operations such as automobile manufacturing, airplane construction etc. They have now reached such areas as the ever-multiplying - medical field. Robotic surgery is now becoming highly practised in open heart, lung, and other forms of surgery. This book covers the developing stages of robotic surgery and its expectations in the medical field.
These proceedings of the World Congress 2006, the fourteenth conference in this series, offer a strong scientific program covering a wide range of issues and challenges which are currently present in Medical physics and Biomedical Engineering. About 2,500 peer reviewed contributions are presented in a six volume book, comprising 25 tracks, joint conferences and symposia, and including invited contributions from well known researchers in this field.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 4th International Symposium on Biomedical Simulation, ISBMS 2008, held in London, UK, in July 2008. The 19 revised full papers and 7 poster papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. The papers are organized in four different sections corresponding to key areas and techniques of this constantly expanding field: finite element modeling, mass spring and statistical shape modeling, motion and fluid modeling and implementation issues. An additional section covers the posters presented at the meeting.
