Gastrointestinal Surgery (eBook, PDF)

Pathophysiology and Management

Beschreibung

Written entirely by Dr. Haile T. Debas, Dean of School of Medicine and former Professor and Chairman, Department of Surgery, at the University of California, San Francisco, this book provides the unified approach only found in a single-authored text. Based on the three pillars of understanding particular disease processes - fundamental anatomy and physiology, pathophysiology, and clinical correlations - surgical treatment of GI disease is presented as the means to correct abnormal physiology and restore health. Thirteen lavishly illustrated chapters cover the GI system as well as gastrointestinal peptides and peptide-secreting tumors, abdominal trauma, the abdominal wall, surgery for morbid obesity, the liver, spleen, retroperitoneum, and perioperative care. Dozens of summary tables throughout each chapter condense "essentials" for quick reference. With 400 illustrations and tables, including anatomical line drawings commissioned exclusively for this title, Gastrointestinal Surgery provides an approach to surgical diseases that will prove invaluable to the surgical trainee and the practitioner.

(H. W. Tilanus, The British Journal of Surgery, Vol. 92 (3), 2005) "The book is easy to read and addresses in a rather comprehensive way all major chapters of gastrointestinal surgery. ... can be a useful tool for medical students and residents; it trains them to base the understanding of the development and manifestation of the diseases on the knowledge of basic anatomy and physiology."
