ABOUT THIS BOOK
"Operative Strategy" is the advance plan that the surgeon develops to
anticipate and avoid technical pitfalls and potential danger points
of an operation. The goal is to make each surgical procedure safe and
without complications. Completely revised and now under the
editorship of Carol E.H. Scott-Conner, M.D., Chassin's Operative
Strategies in General Surgery: An Expositive Atlas, Third Edition
provides a clear exposition of all basic procedures including surgery
of the digestive tract, breast, abdominal wall, selected head and
neck, and endocrine system. Surgery is currently in a state of
transition, and many procedures are being performed by minimally-
invasive means. While some might argue that "old" operations should
be discarded, no operations have been deleted from the text. These
operations are still needed, and a surgeon may be called upon to
perform an operation that has become rare. That is when this "legacy"
material, unique to Chassin's, will be used. In addition, nineteen
new chapters have been added, including seven new chapters featuring
precise technical discussions of:
-laparoscopic basics
-laparoscopic nissen fundoplication
-laparoscopic esophagomyotomy
-laparoscopic plication of perforated ulcer
-laparoscopic appendectomy
-mesh repair of inguinal hernia
-laparoscopic repair of inguinal hernia
Over 1000 elegant illustrations by Caspar Henselmann accompany
detailed textual explanations. This book is an indispensable
reference for all surgical residents and practicing surgeons.
