This is an excellent addition to the colorectal library.

The purpose of this book specifically is to teach surgeons academic or community , surgical fellows and surgical residents regardless of the surgical specialty, the skills to appraise what they read in the surgical literature. Surgeons need to be able to understand what they read before applying the conclusions of a surgical article to their practice.

As most surgeons do not have the extra training in health research methodology, understanding how the research was done, how to interpret the results and finally deciding to apply them to the patient level is indeed a difficult task.

Chapters explain the methodological issues pertaining to the various study designs reported in the surgical literature. Most chapters begin with a clinical scenario with uncertain course of action with which most surgeons are struggling.

Readers are taught how to search the literature for the best evidence that will answer the surgical problem under discussion. An identified article that seems relevant to the problem you are investigating can be appraised by addressing 3 key questions: 1.

Is the study I am reading valid? What are the results of this study? Can I apply these results to my patients? While the primary goal of Evidence-Based Surgery is to teach surgeons how to appraise the surgical literature, an added benefit is that the concepts explained here may help research-minded surgeons produce higher quality research.

Palliative care has become increasingly important across the spectrum of healthcare, and with it, the need for education and training of a broad range of medical practitioners not previously associated with this field of care.

Part of the Integrating Palliative Care series, this volume on surgical palliative care guides readers through the core palliative skills and knowledge needed to deliver high value care for patients with life-limiting, critical, and terminal illness under surgical care.

Chapters explore the historical, philosophical, and spiritual principles of surgical palliative care, and follow the progression of the seriously ill surgical patient's journey from the pre-operative encounter, to the invasive procedure, to the post-operative setting, and on to survivorship. An overview of the future of surgical palliative care education and research rounds out the text.

Surgical Palliative Care is an ideal resource for surgeons, surgical nurses, intensivists, and other practitioners who wish to learn more about integrating palliative care into the surgical field.

Keighley,Norman S. This fourth edition of Surgery of the Anus, Rectum and Colon continues to redefine the field, with its comprehensive coverage of common and rare colorectal conditions, advances in the molecular biology and genetics of colorectal diseases, and new laparoscopic techniques.

Contributions from international experts on specialized topics and various new illustrations ensure that the extensive text is not only current and authoritative, but easy to understand.

No other book provides the expertise of a world-class editorial team with the cutting-edge knowledge you need to master colorectal surgery. Surgical site infections are caused by bacteria that get in through incisions made during surgery.

They threaten the lives of millions of patients each year and contribute to the spread of antibiotic resistance. But surgical site infections are not just a problem for poor countries. No international evidence-based guidelines had previously been available before WHO launched its global guidelines on the prevention of surgical site infection on 3 November , and there are inconsistencies in the interpretation of evidence and recommendations in existing national guidelines.

These new WHO guidelines are valid for any country and suitable to local adaptations, and take account of the strength of available scientific evidence, the cost and resource implications, and patient values and preferences.

In addition, sections on medical and surgical therapies for abdominal, pelvic and anorectal disease are incorporated. The underlying focus throughout the text is to provide pragmatic and understandable solutions that can be readily implemented by surgeons of varying experience to successfully treat complex colorectal problems.

The text also goes beyond the technical aspects of Colorectal Surgery and includes special sections highlighting the essence of a surgeon. These include chapters describing the importance of the first encounter, building patient rapport, and demonstrating confidence and competence while showing humility and avoiding arrogance.

Additionally, aspects involving the medical-legal, ethical, and economic challenges confronting surgeons are covered. This comprehensive book provides the reader a perspective of the current evidence-based management of Laparoscopic Colorectal Surgery. It covers sections on benign surgery for IBD, diverticulitis, rectal prolapse etc. The accompanying videos complement the text imparting specific operative skills of exposure, retraction, countertraction, dissection, vascular control, hemostasis, laparoscopic Stapling, anastomosis, specimen extraction and stoma formation.

This book aims to help surgeons to learn, standardize, practice and master the complex skills of Laparoscopic colorectal surgery. Key Features Provides step by step solution to the difficulties encountered by the beginners by covering a section on bugbears.

Caters to General, GI, Oncology and Colorectal surgeons who have the adequate basic laparoscopic skills and have already been doing some advanced laparoscopic surgery in form of laparoscopic Upper GI and bowel surgery and would want to start laparoscopic colorectal surgery.

Covers a section on Robotic and single incision laparoscopic surgery providing the contemporary knowledge in this emerging field, whereas a section on trans-anal surgery provides a futuristic dimension to this field. Colorectal Surgery has continued to experience tremendous growth in both the community and academic settings over the past few years.

The recent increase in demand for colorectal specialists has been fueled by an overwhelming number of applications to fellowship training programs, resulting in some of the most coveted and competitive positions.

Furthermore, the accumulation of experience, knowledge, and wisdom from pioneers in the field, combined with major recent technological advances, has transformed the clinical management of diseases of the colon and rectum. Colorectal Surgeons have embraced advances ranging from minimally invasive approaches for complex problems to novel training methods for future generations. Additionally, we have spearheaded innovations in the management of colorectal cancer, pelvic floor disorders, diverticulitis, inflammatory bowel disease, and anorectal conditions.

Despite these improvements, there remains a seemingly never-ending mixture of complex patient disease processes and complications resulting from the care of these patients. Even in cases where the technical challenges were managed successfully, complications or poor function may result in dramatic life-long consequences, reduced quality of life, as well as having economic implications. Three editions of the ASCRS Textbook of Colon and Rectal Surgery have been published and have proved to be extremely valuable for their wealth of general information and knowledge, providing not only background information, but also specifics regarding the more complex situations that surgeons who treat patients with colorectal disease experience on a regular basis.

This has been formed by abstracting the textbook into a bullet format; all figures and most tables were retained. The 3rd edition of the Textbook published by Springer included completely new chapters and authors. This 3rd edition of the Manual is indicated to conform to the new edition of the Textbook and incorporate newer information in the field of colon and rectal surgery. This Manual will serve as a very useful resource for physicians and researchers dealing with diseases of the colon and rectum.

It will provide a concise yet comprehensive summary of the current status of the field that will help guide education, patient management and stimulate investigative efforts.

All chapters were written and abstracted by experts in their fields and will include the most up to date scientific and clinical information. Laparoscopic Colorectal Surgery provides 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.
