This book is distinctive in that it focuses exclusively on current laparoscopic and endoscopic techniques for inguinal, primary and incisional abdominal wall, and hiatal hernias. Individual steps in diagnosis and treatment are described by experts in the field, but this clinical expertise is also integrated with the best available external evidence from systematic research as encapsulated in statements, recommendations, and guidelines. The reader will thus not only learn how to perform techniques systematically and reproducibly but also come to understand which of the procedures have been scientifically validated by studies, reviews, and meta-analyses and which have simply developed empirica...
This book is based on the latest comprehensive data about molecular mechanism of acute pancreatitis, chronic pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer. The diagnostic techniques including histology, radiology, sonography etc. are based on the sensitivity and specificity of the respective methods. Special focus is given to the indication and contraindication to surgical techniques. The book contains specific treatment modality and results for the first time after long-term outcome evaluation. There is detailed description of diagnosis and treatment, and the book is abundantly illustrated with approximately 300 color illustrations.
This second volume of the series on photorefractive effects focuses on the most recent developments in the field and highlights the parameters which govern the photoinduced nonlinearity. Besides reviewing conventional electro-optic crystals, this book deals with organic photorefractive materials, giving an in-depth assessment of the present understanding of the effect in a variety of materials. The materials considered in this volume will play a significant role in the development of applications such as presented in the third volume.
Thoroughly revised by distinguished new authors, the Fifth Edition of Dr. Nyhus and Condon's classic text remains the definitive reference on hernia. This edition has been extensively reorganized to include laparoscopic procedures in each chapter and to offer comparisons of the various types of hernia repair. The largest part of the book is devoted to inguinal hernia, but esophageal, abdominal, and diaphragmatic hernia are also covered. A chapter on hernia in pediatric patients is included. More than 600 illustrations complement the text. A Brandon-Hill recommended title.
Repair of simple and complex abdominal hernias by the laparoscopic technique is now the method of choice in many centres. Laparoscopic repair offers equivalent outcomes to open repair, with the additional benefits of greater patient satisfaction and reduced hospitalization. For some hernias, notably incisional and hiatal, the outcome appears to be superior using the minimally invasive technique. This book, authored by an international team of leading surgeons in the field of hernia repair, gives a definitive guide to appropriate patient selection and operative technique. The introductory section delivers a useful, illustrated account of instrumentation, biomaterials and mesh fixation. Subseq...

Diagnostik und laparoskopische Therapie von Leistenhernien, Bauchwand- und Narbenhernien sowie Hiatushernien werden Schritt für Schritt und mit zahlreichen Abbildungen von einem internationalen Expertenteam beschrieben. Neben den etablierten Verfahren sind auch neu entwickelte Operationstechniken und das Vorgehen bei atypischen und komplexen Hernienformen dargestellt, ebenso die Prävention und Behandlung von Komplikationen. Der Netztechnologie ist zu jedem der Hauptthemen ein eigenes Kapitel gewidmet. Vor- und Nachteile der einzelnen Behandlungsformen werden diskutiert und verglichen. Jedes Kapitel nimmt dabei Bezug auf die anerkannten Leitlinien der Fachgesellschaften und die relevanten Studien, Übersichten und Metaanalysen und bezieht zugleich die Erfahrungen und Empfehlungen renommierter Hernienchirurgen ein. Standardisierte Operationstechnik und evidenzbasierte Entscheidungsfindung tragen zur Verbesserung der Behandlungsergebnisse in der laparo-endoskopischen Hernienchirurgie bei.
