Description
This practical work presents an all-encompassing review of the technological procedures available for use by the general surgeon. The book follows a disease-oriented approach, covering how new cutting edge surgical procedures can be applied to "old" diseases. Since the approach of the physician is always disease-oriented rather than technology-oriented, this organ systems format makes the format easily accessible. The book is divided into main parts. It first discusses the technology itself, and goes on to cover how this technology is used to surgically treat diseases in a new way.
