The gastrostomy placement is a method of providing nutrition to the patients who are unable to eat. In this book you can find chapters focused on the use of gastrostomy in children, patients with neurological impairment and patients with head and neck tumours. Home enteral nutrition is suitable for all of these groups of patients and is far easier with gastrostomy. The new indications (especially in very young children) required new techniques such as: laparoscopic gastrostomy, laparoscopy assisted endoscopic gastrostomy with/without fundoplication, ultrasonography assisted gastronomy. All information about these techniques can be found in this book. This book does not serve as a basic textbook, but as an interesting reading material and as an aid for physicians who are already familiar with the indication for gastrostomy and want to know more.

There are about 1,300 general surgery residency spots a year in the US alone. In addition, 20,000 medical students rotate through surgery a year. With medical students and residents routinely scrubbing into surgeries that they've never seen or have only seen a handful of times, an easy, practical, to the point, user friendly reminder of the major steps of an operation is vital. It is not uncommon to see medical students and residents watching videos or searching online frantically to understand a common operation. This book serves as a practical guide for the resident to easily carry in their pocket, quickly skim through, and have the basic steps of every major operation at their fingertips. Common Surgeries Made Easy is written in a bullet point format with clear illustrations to provide an easy to read, quick overview of the "core" surgeries encountered during residency with some added advanced operations for extended use in the beginning stages of a medical career. Geared towards quick review for the oral board exams, this study guide caters specifically to the resident.

Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tubes are placed more than 125,000 times a year in the Unites States alone, making it one of the most common therapeutic endoscopic procedures. The editor, Eric Mark Pauli, along with his co-editor Dr. Jeffrey Marks had the good fortune of training with Dr. Jeffrey Ponsky, the recognized co-developer of the technique. PEG is deceptively simple. You do not need to complete a fellowship to understand it. In the majority of patients, PEG is a 10 minute procedure that requires minimal pre-operative evaluation, a moderate amount of surgical/endoscopic skill and minimal post-operative follow up. The trick to being good at PEG lies in recognizing those circumstances that require more forethought, more patient/family discussion, more endoscopic skills, more post-operative management. If such recognition is followed up with appropriate action, few patients should be deemed un-PEGable and complications should be kept to an absolute minimum. The purpose of this book is twofold. First, for the individual who is new to performing PEG, it provides an overview of the basic management strategies and endoscopic techniques as they are performed by recognized experts in their respective fields. Second, for the practitioner who already performs PEG, the editor hope that it exposes them to alternative techniques and more advanced therapeutic options such that they can offer the procedure to more patients in an even safer fashion.
