This book provides up-to-date evidence on laparoscopic emergency surgery and supplies concrete advice on when and how to approach patients laparoscopically in an emergency setting. All the diseases elegible for emergency laparoscopy are addressed, and for each disease recommendations, levels of evidence, and technical key points are discussed and analyzed. Diagnostic flow charts are included for cases in which laparoscopy turns out to be the final diagnostic step and the first therapeutic one. Furthermore, problematic and positive aspects of the laparoscopic approach from the anesthesiologic point of view are fully explored. Finally, a useful overview of current practice in hospitals across the world is provided, highlighting the varying applications in relation to different medical “cultures”, skills, resources, and healthcare systems.

This is the first time a book about laparoscopy in emergency abdominal surgery has been published. Numerous articles have been published in specific surgical journals, but, until now, there has not been a book that collates all the aspects of this little-known field. The aim of this volume is to achieve a complete and easy presentation of all the implications associated with laparoscopy in emergency abdominal surgery. The book should be a manual that can be easily consulted by digestive, general, and specialized surgeons, especially in an emergency. The authors’ contributions are founded on evidence-based medicine, which give the book scientific credibility, but this is coupled with their experience of daily practice, which adds an important complementary dimension to evidence-based medicine. This is balanced by an emphasis on clarity and accessibility, because the ultimate aim of the book is educational. We hope this book will be frequently consulted, in depth, not only by specialist practitioners, but also by undergraduate students, new graduates and surgeons in training.

This practical reference provides a broad comparison of access andexposure in open and minimal access surgery that bridges the gapbetween conventional and laparoscopic techniques while analyzingthe advantages and disadvantages of each. Abdominal Access in Open and Laparoscopic Surgery integrates adiscussion of basic surgical concepts with a survey of evolving newtechnologies and techniques. It provides a comprehensive overviewof classic surgical incisions, established minimal accessalternatives, and the emerging state of the art--gaslesslaparoscopy with subcutaneous lift systems and planar liftingdevices. Over 90 photographs--many in color--and numerous linedrawings clearly illustrate operative techniques and procedures.The indications for, and potential complications of, each techniqueare discussed within the context of standard surgical proceduressuch as cholecystectomy, appendectomy, gastrostomy, andherniorrhaphy. The book concludes with a summary of prospectiveimprovements in instrumentation and videoscopy that will continueto expand the boundaries of minimal access surgery. Individual chapters cover such topics as: * Surgical incisions * Techniques of CO2 pneumoperitoneum * Low pressure pneumoperitoneum * Alternatives to and complications of CO2 pneumoperitoneum * Subcutaneous lift system (SCLS) for laparoscopic surgery * Laparoscopic procedures using the planar lifting technique * Pros and cons of gasless laparoscopy With its detailed coverage of both fundamental concepts andadvanced technologies, Abdominal Access in Open and LaparoscopicSurgery is an ideal resource and an indispensable guide for allpracticing surgeons and surgical residents.

This book, designed primarily as a practical reference, attempts to provide a clear and pragmatic approach to the understanding of the innovative procedure in abdominal wall lifting with subcutaneous wiring. This sophisticated laparoscopic operation eliminates the conventional complications of the pneumoperitoneum method. The techniques described here do not require the use of air-tight trocars, thus allowing surgeons to operate smoothly as well as safely with better operative view and easier hemostasis, ligation, suturing, etc. This method has the additional advantage of greatly reducing the equipment and expensive disposable instruments used. This book is well illustrated with over 100 high quality and beautiful photographs.
