Description
Two of the most internationally renowned pancreatic surgeons have edited this definitive reference book on pancreatic surgery. Surgery of the Pancreas is directed at the operating surgeon, its primary emphasis being on anatomy, surgical technique, and clinical decision making. The book is extremely well illustrated both with line illustrations and with photographs.Fully updated throughout, this edition includes new chapters on - molecular biology and pancreatic disease - management of pseudocysts - cystic pancreatic neoplasms - consideration of radical/super radical operations - endoscopic and percutaneous stenting for pancreatic cancer Surgery of the Pancreas presents an unparallelled compendium of information, ranging from the historical aspectsof the organ and its diseases to the current status of such frontiers as transplantation and adjunctive therapies. The Editors have sought their contributors from 9 different countries and have recruited some of the most experienced and widely recognizedauthorities in the field.The definitive reference work: an in-depth text covering every aspect of pancreatic surgery
