Advanced Techniques In Gasless Laparoscopic Surgery: Abdominal Wall Lifting With Subcutaneous Wiring


Book Description

This book, designed primarily as a practical reference, attempts to provide a clear and pragmatic approach to the understanding of the innovative procedure in abdominal wall lifting with subcutaneous wiring. This sophisticated laparoscopic operation eliminates the conventional complications of the pneumoperitoneum method. The techniques described here do not require the use of air-tight trocars, thus allowing surgeons to operate smoothly as well as safely with better operative view and easier hemostasis, ligation, suturing, etc. This method has the additional advantage of greatly reducing the equipment and expensive disposable instruments used. This book is well illustrated with over 100 high quality and beautiful photographs.




Current Review of Minimally Invasive Surgery


Book Description

This survey explores both the established procedures and the frontiers of laparoscopic surgery, while examining several controversies that have evolved in recent years. Also addressed are topics such as two-handed surgical technique, intracorporeal suturing, intricate dissection, control of large vessels, the operating room of the future, cost considerations, and regulatory issues.

Endourooncology


Book Description

Recent research and clinical work have demonstrated that the rapid urologic innovation in minimally invasive treatment is creating exciting new horizons in endourology. This sixth volume in the series Recent Advances in Endourology brings that knowledge to a wider audience, focusing on the new concept of endourooncology, which is the merging of endourology and oncology. In the surgical treatment of urologic malignancies, bipolarization - that is, radical extended resection or organ-sparing surgery - is making remarkable advances. Further developments in sophisticated reconstructive surgery using robotic systems and image-guided ablation technology will allow surgeons to formulate minimally invasive, tailor-made procedures for each patient with urologic cancer. In this book, the current status and future prospects of these new technologies are reviewed, illuminating their roles in the future of endourooncology.

Novel Regional Therapies for Liver Tumors


Book Description

This book is about regional therapies for liver tumors, including surgical treatments and interventional therapies. Written by experienced surgeons and radiologists, it also describes controversial issues in patients with liver tumors, such as treatment for ruptured HCC, liver resection for benign tumors, and chemoembolization for large HCC with tumor thrombus.







CARS 2000


Book Description

Hardbound. Over the centuries, the macroscopic view of the human being has been enhanced with an anatomical and functional degree of detail, such that no physician can no longer memorise this wealth of information. With modern imaging tools, the information which may be obtained from a particular patient will move further from the macroscopic to the microscopic detail. This information will neither be imprinted on film or paper nor stored in the PC, but will, rather, reside on the network. Intelligent processing and management of this imaging information contributes to new possibilities for computer assisted diagnosis and therapy.CARS 2000 focuses on these computer and communication tools. Radiologists, surgeons, computer scientists and engineers from over 40 countries are actively supporting these aims of CARS. This demonstrates that advancing patient care is best served by international and interdisciplinary cooperation, and this publicatio
