Les cancers ovariens = Ovarian cancers
Deals with ovarian cancers and their therapeutic management. Besides the epithelial tumors which are the most frequent, the rarer tumors, with attenuated malignancy, germ cells or of the ovarian stroma are also studied. Specialists from multiple backgrounds each deliver in their field the most recent knowledge on the fundamental aspects of the disease, its genetic, epidemiological and prognostic characteristics and its pathological peculiarities. Modern means of diagnosis are presented. The surgical technique, including laparoscopy, is detailed at the different stages of the disease. The therapeutic strategy aims to position the surgery and chemotherapy according to the stage. The current place of radiotherapy and isotopic therapies is indicated. Some more specific aspects are discussed, screening, lymph node dissection, the “second look”, intraperitoneal chemotherapy with or without hyperthermia, treatment of the elderly, monitoring after treatment… as well as the emergence of targeted therapies.
Le Cancer du rein = Kidney cancer
Localized tumors are discovered at an earlier stage. The concept of active surveillance emerges. Minimally invasive treatments such as cryotherapy or radiofrequency for selected cases are now available. The indications for elective open partial nephrectomy are expanding and laparoscopic and then robotic partial nephrectomy are being evaluated.
Laparoscopic Urologic Surgery in Malignancies
The horizons of laparoscopic surgery are expanding, such that the overwhelming majority of abdominal urologic procedures have now been performed laparoscopically. In some of these procedures, the laparoscopic alternative has been demonstrated to be superior to its open counterpart; in others comparative analyses are ongoing; and in yet others, only the initial forays into minimally invasive surgery have been undertaken. This book sets out to collate the current body of knowledge on laparoscopic urology under one cover. The authors are respected experts in the field and have provided concise, thoughtful updates on their respective topics. The information contained in this volume will help urologists to increase their laparoscopic knowledge and skills.
Laparoscopic Colorectal Surgery
This new Second Edition includes updated information on laparoscopic colorectal procedures, including hand-assisted laparoscopic procedures and new chapters on the physiology of pneumoperitoneum, laparoscopic anatomy of the colon and rectum, and evidence-based discussion of outcomes. The text is complemented by over 200 line drawings created exclusively for the textbook.
Complications in Gynaecological Surgery
Focusing on a range of gynecological issues, including urinary tract injury, sterilization and assisted pregnancy, as well as the application of cutting-edge laparoscopy, this book will be of great interest and use to the practicing gynecologist or urologist.
Biliary Lithiasis : Basic Science, Current Diagnosis and Management
The book provides an overview on biliary lithiasis and all its clinical pictures, twenty years after the first laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The gallbladder, the main bile duct and intra-hepatic stones, in their uncomplicated and complicated forms are illustrated.
Anorectal Malformations in Children : Embryology, Diagnosis, Surgical Treatment, Follow-up
The book assembles many new aspects in the broad field of anorectal and genitourinary malformations. Special attention is given to the new surgical techniques posterior sagittal anorectal plasty (PSARP), urogenital sinue advancement, and laparoscopy. The results of an international workshop of 26 international authorities on congenital malformations of the organs of the pelvis and perineum are presented. The new classification proposed at the Krickenberg Conference will enable future studies comparing the types and the results of treatment of anorectal malformations.
Clinical management of salivary gland disorders
Serves as a complete reference guide for the totality of salivary gland (SG) disease. Focusing on the clues available to the practitioner during the patient examination, it will completely review and update the available data concerning all manner of SG conditions. Looking beyond the perspectives of surgery, imaging, pathology, or sialendoscopy in diagnosis and therapy, this book will provide all professionals interested in the head and neck extensive and detailed diagnostic information about each SG entity.
