Any surgical intervention, elective or acute, may lead to
postoperative complications. Moreover, the pertaining approach -
laparoscopic or open - will probably not differ in the morbidity
rate after surgery. Complications that occur after a surgical
intervention can be classified as major or minor. Major
complications to the digestive tract after surgery imply in most of
cases a leakage of an anastomosis, bleeding in the abdominal cavity
or in the tract, the appearance of intraperitoneal abscesses, or
surgical site infections and wound dehiscence. These complications,
depending on the organ affected, upper GI, HPB tract or colorectal,
are associated with high morbidity and mortality. Early suspicion
and diagnosis, followed by an early and effective treatment is
imperative in order to reduce the morbidity and mortality. Adequate
treatment will involve a good coordination of the three disciplines
involved in treatment: the surgeon, the intervention radiologist,
and the gastroenterologist. Approach of these postoperative
complications is changing constantly and these changes are not
properly known by general and more specialized digestive surgeons
daily involved in the treatment of these diseases. The proposal for
this book is to offer a systematic description of the most frequent
complications occurring in the three above mentioned parts of the
digestive tract. In this way, the reader will have access to a
practical book in which every current complication can be easily
recognized, along with relevant information as guide for an
adequate treatment.

The proposal for this book is to offer a systematic description of
the most frequent complications occurring in the three parts of the
digestive tract: HPB, Upper GI and colorectal tracts. Every
complication, from esophageal to the rectum, is described
systematically through two or three practical cases as has been
treated by actual surgical practices of authors serving as surgeon
practitioners. Description of the case, presentation of indication
for surgery, type of primary surgical intervention and complication
is described textually but also and by means of clinical signs,
laboratory tests, radiological studies (CT scans and schematic
drawings) and other methods used for diagnosis and treatment. The
reader will have access to a practical book in which every current
complication can be easily recognized, along with relevant
information as guide for an adequate treatment.
The EAES Manual of Endoscopic Surgery provides surgeons and
surgical residents with the best practical knowledge currently
available on commonly performed minimally invasive abdominal and
thoracic procedures. Expert European surgeons share their
career-long experience by dissecting operative procedures step by
step and highlighting potential technical and anatomical hazards.
Authors instruct the reader in a fashion similar to the
conversations that take place between master surgeons and their
apprentices while scrubbing for surgery. Uniform full color
illustrations complete the detailed descriptions of minimally
invasive surgeries. In addition to the operative instructions, a
key component of the manual is the provision of information on
patient selection, choice of operative approach, special needs for
minimally invasive procedures, and the early diagnosis and
treatment of complications after surgery.
