Esophageal cancer remains both a life-threatening disease and an everyday challenge for both patients and surgeons. Controversies regarding its management are prevalent, creating con- sion and uncertainties. Preoperative mortality and morbidity, limited overall and disease-free survival, and dismal prognosis make decision making regarding the choice of management dif? cult. Prof. Puntambekar is an enthusiastic surgeon, full of energy and inspiration. This young colleague offers contemporary possibilities for management of esophageal carcinoma. Prof. Cuesta is an experienced surgeon working in Europe. These two authors have compiled their work in this atlas and enrich the reader with experience encompassing two different c- tinents. This book is an update of novel surgical techniques of combined thoracoscopic and laparoscopic approach in minimally invasive management of esophageal carcinoma. Prof. Puntambekar's outstanding experience and expertise in this ? eld is fully illustrated in this book in a step-by-step description of the operative procedures. This book should be regarded as a landmark for the surgical management of esophageal carcinoma. The book is distinctive and the technical steps are original, re? ecting a deep knowledge of the regional anatomy and a unique ability of visual and operative orientation.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
From the reviews:
"It is lavishly illustrated with color photos and selected line drawings. . The book is clearly written for advanced practitioners and subspecialty trainees, both laparoscopic and thoracoscopic surgeons, and for experienced esophageal surgeons who wish to make the switch to minimal access techniques for management of esophageal carcinoma. . For surgeons seeking clear photos detailing how to do these esophageal carcinoma operations, this is a useful reference . ." (Carol Scott-Conner, Doody's Review Service, November, 2010)
