In this book, the recent developments in immunology and the impact on the treatment of infections in critical care and in surgery are presented, also describing how cellular immunology influences clinical treatment. This information helps in understanding the pathogenesis of infections in surgery and critical care. The impact of a standard treatment such as antibiotic therapy is evaluated and possible future therapy modalities outlined. This book will be of interest to clinicians and immunologists as scientists of both specialties have contributed to the book.

Biofragmentable anastomoses rings represent a fascinating concept: Stan­ dardization of anastomoses, secure technique in application, expulsion of the material without residuals. In addition, one single technique allows to perform the classical end to end, end to side, and side to side anastomoses in most areas of the gastrointestinal tract, without any auxiliary tool. This means a great advantage of practicability. Controlled studies evidenced that the rate of complications is very small for the intestinal tract. Therefore, it is important to establish the localization for present indication and contra­ indications. Two chapters especially deal with upper GI anastomoses in­ cluding esophagus anastomoses and with BAR anastomoses in inflammatory bowel disease. This is done by analysing the data and by an exchange of experience between the clinical research groups. This book is to communi­ cate experimental data and to increase understanding about pathophysiology of the healing of anastomoses by means of compression anastomoses. Wiirzburg, Germany, Prof. Dr. R.

Auf dem Gebiet der gastrointestinalen Funktionsstörungen hat sich sowohl in der Diagnostik als auch in der Therapie vieles verändert. Durch die Entwicklung und Etablierung computergestützter Langzeitmonitoring- und Analyseverfahren wurde das diagnostische Spektrum erheblich erweitert. Gleichzeitig wurden gerade für die gutartigen Funktionsstörungen im gastrointestinalen Trakt minimal-invasive Operationstechniken entwickelt. Mit neuen konservativen Therapiekonzepten hat sich auch die Indikation für die operative Therapie verändert. Die diagnostischen und therapeutischen Entwicklungen werden in diesem Buch umfassend beschrieben. Ein spezieller Teil enthält praktische Anleitungen für die Durchführung der verschiedenen Untersuchungen.
