Presenting a number of scenarios in general surgery, this book explores minimally invasive treatment options and offers the rationale for that chosen. Each chapter contains an evidence-based review of the literature and, where appropriate, SAGES guidelines.
Minimal access, whenever feasible, in the performance of most general surgical procedures is now well established. However, many areas still need clari? cation. They range from indications and contraindications to the optimal route of access, as well as to choices to be made among the various procedures possible for any single surgical problem. This M- ual is unique in that unlike most manuals it is not so much a "how to" but more a "when to," the "how to" having been covered to a signi? cant extent in the two previous SAGES manuals. This work takes a series of common clinical scenarios and offers various, detailed, often contrasting approaches, commonly but not exclusively minimal access, discussing indications, limitations, and potential complications. In this age of evidence-based surgical practice, the reader will ? nd it refreshing to have abundant data and references to support or reject a particular approach or technique. With a cadre of surgeon authors skilled in open as well as minimal access surgery, including ? exible endoscopy, the student and practitioner of surgery is exposed to not only varying approaches to many common surgical conditions but also comes to appreciate how ? exibility and integration of various approaches can improve the outcome for the patient. The forty-six chapters can each constitute a stand-alone discussion.

From the reviews:
"This is a guide to clinical strategy for the general surgeon employing minimal access surgery. ... Contemporary trainees in general surgery and senior practitioners ... will benefit from this work from an international group of experts with a significant number of contributors from the University of Iowa. ... Discussion of treatment alternatives is clear and the review of evidence is excellent. Dr. Scott-Conner and her contributors place an important technique in context for trainees and practitioners."(David J. Dries, Doody's Review Service, November, 2008)
