      abstract = {This book is exceptional in describing not only the  standard surgical procedures, open and laparoscopic, for  various gastrointestinal indications, but also the  technical variations that may be employed in response to  difficult intraoperative situations. For each surgical  procedure, leading experts provide step-by-step,  illustrated descriptions of their standard techniques and  preferred modifications when confronted by challenging  circumstances associated with an increased risk of intra-  or postoperative complications. All of the described  variations are designed to meet the original surgical goals  and achieve satisfactory outcomes. Topics addressed include  upside-down stomach, antireflux surgery, gastric  gastrointestinal tumors, gastric cancer, gallbladder and  bile duct disease, inflammatory bowel disease, right and  left hemicolectomy, sigmoid diverticulitis, rectal cancer,  and rectal prolapse. The provision of several points of  view for each surgical indication ensures that approaches  from the conservative to the more radical are conveyed. It  is clearly explained in which situations use of the  described technical variations may be indicated, and  practical tips are provided on the avoidance of  complications. In addition, important medicolegal issues  are discussed and guidance is offered on risk assessment  and decision analysis within the surgical setting. This  book will be an invaluable aid to decision making and  practice for every gastrointestinal surgeon.},
