Advances in Gastrointestinal Surgery: A Comprehensive Guide

Over the past two decades, the field of gastrointestinal (GI) surgery has witnessed significant advancements in imaging, endoscopy, and laparoscopy. This has led to enhanced expertise and better outcomes in complex operations. GI surgery, a sub-specialty branch of general surgery, has made a considerable difference in the results of difficult procedures, with reduced morbidity and mortality rates.

This book provides in-depth information on diseases of the mesentery, omentum, peritoneum, and retroperitoneum, as well as abdominal trauma. It is an essential resource for surgeons, trainees, researchers, and medical students dealing with these often neglected areas of surgery. The comprehensive coverage of various conditions and traumas, along with a chapter dedicated to abdominal surgery during the COVID-19 pandemic, makes this book a valuable asset for those in the medical field.

Edited and written by international experts, this book aims to bridge the gap in knowledge and understanding of the anatomy, physiology, and pathology involved in managing patients with these diseases successfully. It serves as a guide for abdominal, peritoneum, and retroperitoneum surgeons and trainees, general surgeons, researchers, and medical students, helping them navigate the complexities of these diseases and traumas.
