Essentials of Visceral Surgery
The 2nd edition of the successful book also summarises the factual knowledge of visceral surgery in a condensed, keyword-like form. It is suitable for preparation for the specialist examination as well as for quick reference in everyday clinical practice. All articles have been written by renowned experts. The focus is on detailed recommendations on the diagnostic procedure, the indication and the implementation of therapy; for the most important interventions, the steps of the surgical procedure are also presented. Brief overviews facilitate the targeted memorisation of the most important facts.
Short-term and Long-term Outcome of Oesophagogastric Surgery for Cancer in Obese and Normal Weight Patients
Abstract: Background Obesity is generally considered to be associated with worse surgical outcome and impaired oncological prognosis. The impact of pre-therapeutic body mass index (BMI) in patients with oesophagogastric cancer on the surgical outcome is controversially discussed. Methods We retrospectively examined 730 patients who had undergone curative treatment for oesophagogastric cancer at the Medical Center of the University of Freiburg (1996-2015). Patients were divided in groups according to pre-therapeutic BMI (underweight (UW): 18.5 kg/m2; normal weight (NW): 18.5-25 kg/m2; overweight (OW): 25-30 kg/m2; and obese (OB): 30 kg/m2). Results Median BMI was 24.7 kg/m2. Forty-two patient...
Atlas of Robotic Upper Gastrointestinal Surgery
Deep knowledge of anatomy and surgical technique will continue to remain the foundation of surgery despite advancement in surgical technology. Robotic surgery usage has increased drastically in the last decade. More than ever before, surgical community in great need for an updated atlas in the various upper GI surgical procedures and techniques available. This atlas demonstrates how to perform the most common Upper GI robotic procedure via a set of high-quality state-of-the-art annotated images showing step-by-step guidance providing pertinent and concise procedure descriptions spanning benign and malignant upper GI problems. Robotic upper GI procedures are considered technically demanding w...
A Novel Rodent Model Modifying Perioperative Temperature and Humidity During Bowel Surgery and Mimicking Laparoscopic Conditions
Abstract: Laparoscopic surgery seems to have a general physiological benefit compared to conventional procedures in several clincal studies especially regarding intestinal anastomotic healing. Reliable experimental data concerning the particular mode of beneficial action are lacking. Clinical studies will not be able to identify the variables responsible for this effect. To establish a feasible, standardized experimental model to investigate variables such as humidity and perioperative room temperature, we employed an incubator designed for neonatal care. This allows individual manipulation and observation of above mentioned variables. Our initial results show that creating intestinal anastomoses in the incubator is safe and easy to perform, creating a valuable possibility to influence perioperative conditions for experimental and clinical research
