For more than 25 years clinicians and scientists have been trying to improve the treatment of acute hepatic failure. Several devices were developed and hemodialysis procedures were refined. The treatment of fulminant hepatic failure and end-stage liver cirrhosis by liver transplantation became a standard procedure. However, for the successful management of critical situations before and after liver surgery, artificial liver support is still needed. This book is the proceedings of the Falk Symposium No. 145 on a ~Artificial Liver Supporta (TM), held on 27--28 January 2005 in Ulm, Germany, and provides an overview of the possibilities and limitations of the existing procedures and devices available for artificial liver support. The results achieved with albumin dialysis (MARS System), the Prometheus System, and dialysis and hemofiltration or plasma exchange as well as modular extracorporeal liver support (MELS) and the Amsterdam bioartificial liver are discussed in detail regarding their effects in different clinical situations. In the second half of the book, the remaining problems and expectations for the future of clinical hepatocyte transplantation and stem cell therapy are elucidated. Leading experts in the fields of artificial devices, bioartificial devices, hepatocyte transplantation and stem cells present the latest data on these topics. Their experience and their data are summarized in this volume, thus providing an exceptional overview of the problems and future perspectives in the field of artificial liver support.
The field of colorectal surgery has undergone tremendous developments in recent decades. Surgery has become less invasive, new perspectives and insights have improved perioperative management and novel outcome measures have been defined. At the same time, the limits of surgical technique and perioperative care are being challenged by more complex patients. In order to realize the immense potential for excellent outcomes in colorectal surgery, coordinated multifaceted care must be delivered within a context of limited resources. Accordingly, there is a pressing need to streamline processes and heighten clinical productivity. Excellent communication and collaboration are required, with constant attention to detail and precision within an environment of learning, research and innovation. This book discusses in depth the transdisciplinary integration of different components of care in colorectal surgery. Pertinent background information on the complexities of current management in colorectal surgery is first provided, followed by discussion of the role of design thinking in care integration. Subsequent chapters focus on a range of issues associated with surgical and perioperative care in patients undergoing colorectal surgery, with emphasis on how the multiple facets of care can be integrated through a transdisciplinary approach. Each chapter provides helpful take-home messages in bullet point form and numerous informative figures and tables are also included. The authors are surgeons, physicians, anesthetists, oncologists, nurses, and allied health professionals with extensive experience in the field.
This text atlas presents gastrointestinal surgery of the upper GI tract at its best. Each surgical procedure is briefly introduced as to why it is selected. The surgical technique is then described step by step, each major step presented by an illustration & a short concise text, without sacrificing scientific accuracy. The procedure is concluded with a short overview on outcome & possible difficulties. Top international experts present internationally accepted standards.
This book gives in depth information of the pre and post operative management of patients undergoing gastrointestinal surgery, with emphasis on the care required to lessen the potential complications post operation. Patients having undergone surgery face a 10 per cent risk of adverse reaction to the treatment and certain gastrointestinal operations have a 50 per cent risk of postoperative complications, particularly among cancer patients. Consequently preventing complications from arising is of paramount importance. That's what this book sets out to do.

Overall, gastric cancer is the number 2 cancer death cause in the world. However, there is a great regional difference in incidence, the highest rate being found in men in northeast Asia (Japan, Korea and China). Just as incidence varies, there are also differences in screening programs and treatment strategies between Eastern and Western countries. In this publication, experts in the field of gastric cancer from both the East and the West impart their evidence-based view as well as express their expert opinion on topics that are still being discussed. These include lymph node dissection, sentinel node navigation surgery, adjuvant and neoadjuvant therapies, laparoscopic gastrectomy, various methods of gastric cancer staging, underlying molecular mechanisms, and palliative treatment. |
