Not illustrated. 1900 edition. Excerpt: ...he concluded that one case in every seven or eight, or about 13' 4 per cent., terminated in this manner. This estimate has been generally accepted by subsequent writers, notwithstanding the fact that the calculation is vitiated by several obvious sources of error. Thus, in the first place, it is probable that the proportion of recoveries from the disease is far more than 50 per cent., a modest estimate being that two out of every three ulcers heal during life (p. 34). Secondly, the method of collecting isolated cases of the disease is open to serious objection, since it is only when some striking event, like perforation or fatal haemorrhage, occurs that the case is deemed worthy of publication. Lastly, many of the authors whose statistics Brinton accepted made no distinction between perforation with general peritonitis and that which gave rise to localised abscess. Welch came to the conclusion, from the study of a large number of autopsies, that the accident occurs in about 6% per cent. of all cases, while Engel estimates its frequency at 5% per cent., and Miquel at about 2 per cent. Owing to our inadequate knowledge of the frequency with which cicatrisation takes place, all computations based upon post-mortem statistics must necessarily be imperfect. A more trustworthy method is to observe the number of times perforation occurs in a large series of clinical cases. Thus, out of the 252 cases which came under the care of Lebert, nine, or 3'5 per cent., died from perforative peritonitis, and in our own series of 265 cases of chronic ulcer the death rate from this cause amounted to 51, -per cent. If due allowance be made for those that are lost sight of before a cure has been effected, and for that not inconsiderable class where secondary...

This Atlas comprehensively covers minimally invasive operative techniques for benign and malignant cancer surgery of the esophagus and stomach. It provides easy-to-follow instructions accompanied by a range of pictures and illustrations, as well as a collection of interactive videos to aid the reader in developing a deeper understanding of each surgical procedure. Techniques covered include minimally invasive surgical treatment for esophageal and gastric cancer including different approaches such as thoracoscopic, transhiatal, laparoscopic, and robot-assisted resections. These chapters include different types of cervical and intrathoracic anastomoses after esophageal resections, and different anastomoses and reconstructions after gastrectomy. Moreover, the Atlas includes an extensive description of minimally invasive procedures in bariatric surgery including sleeve resection, gastric bypass, biliopancreatic diversion, and others. Minimally invasive approaches for other benign pathologies such as benign tumors and treatment of gastroduodenal ulcer complications are also depicted. All chapters, written by a renowned and experienced international group of surgeons and their teams, are focused on practical step-by-step description of the techniques. Atlas of Minimally Invasive Techniques in Upper Gastrointestinal Surgery systematically describes the most frequently performed surgical procedures of the esophagus and stomach and is a valuable resource for all practicing surgeons and trainee general surgeons dedicated to upper gastrointestinal surgery, such as bariatric and surgical oncologists.

Medical nutrition therapy plays a central role in the management of diseases including reducing disease risk, slowing disease progression, and monitoring nutritional status. Though a nutrition care process has been implemented in some countries, many do not have a national standard for nutrition and dietetic practices for different diseases including the scope of gastrointestinal disorders. Moreover, there is no guidance to dietetic practice by most of the governing bodies of the world. Cases on Medical Nutrition Therapy for Gastrointestinal Disorders presents real-world case studies on nutrition assessment, diagnosis, intervention, monitoring, and evaluation standards and practices. Moreover, the cases provide critical updates on the use of medical nutrition therapy for gastrointestinal disorders that include but are not limited to Celiac Disease, Crohn’s Disease, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, constipation, and bowel obstructions and discusses strategies for the prevention and management of these disorders. Registered dietitians, dietetic interns, nutritionists, healthcare professionals, researchers, academicians, and students will benefit from the scenarios presented within this book.
