Esophageal and gastric pathology are challenging, and the underlying physiology is complex. Advanced diagnostic testing is extensive, and the results can often be difficult to interpret. The impact of these findings on tailored treatment modalities has evolved as a result. This manual is therefore designed to present a comprehensive review of the various esophageal and gastric functional pathologies, diagnostic modalities and treatment options. Chapters included here focus on challenging functional pathologies encountered by both gastroenterologists and surgeons. Diagnostic modalities that are currently available are discussed, with accompanying deep analysis of the potential results. Within each chapter, clinical scenarios, testing/treatment options and a review of the literature for each option are included. Chapters will also focus on how to collaborate between specialties and develop a complex GI motility center, as well as the effect of common prior procedures on subsequent physiologic findings.No comprehensive resource currently exists that discusses the physiologic evaluation of foregut diseases, and none present an algorithmic approach to the management of these scenarios. This unique manual addresses and provides guidance to the approach, geared towards both gastroenterologists and surgeons.

Robotic surgery is the fastest growing area in surgery worldwide. This growth has touched every single specialty, but it is seen most prominently in general surgery. Since The SAGES Manual of Robotic Surgery was published in 2017, the increasing utilization of robotic surgery has led to advances in technique, technology and even indications for the use of robotic procedures. Innovation has been at the forefront with development of newer robotic platforms. This revised and updated second edition provides a comprehensive review of indications, best practices and advancements in technique over a wide variety of robotic procedures. The manual will be divided in sections. The first section includes chapters providing a general review of available robotic surgical systems, including future innovations and platforms. The second section focuses on specific procedures based on the various SAGES Masters Programs. The third section is comprised of chapters on miscellaneous but prominent and upcoming robotic areas, such as thoracic, breast, transplant and cardiac procedures. All sections are accompanied by plentiful color figures and photos, as well as high-quality surgical videos.Like its predecessor, this manual provides a detailed review of robotic surgery and is geared towards surgeons at all levels of training and experience. It also addresses the needs of surgeons across various sub-specialties. In addition to providing insight into individual procedures, the general review of the system will be beneficial to those who are brand new to the technology.

The SAGES Manual of Robotic Surgery is designed to present a comprehensive approach to various applications of surgicaltechniques and procedures currently performed with the robotic surgical platform. The Manual also aligns with the new SAGES UNIVERSITY MASTERS Program. The Manual supplements the Robotic Surgery Pathway from Competency to Proficiency to Mastery. Whether it’s for Biliary, Hernia, Colon, Foregut or Bariatric, the key technical steps for the anchoring robotic procedures are highlighted in detail as well as what the reader needs to know to successfully submit a video clip to the SAGES Facebook Channels for technical feedback.The initial chapters are dedicated to the anchoring procedures needed to successfully navigate through the Masters Program. Subsequent chapters then address preliminary issues faced by surgeons and staff , such as training and credentialing, as well as instrumentation and platforms commonly used for these procedures. Individual chapters will then focus on specifi c disease processes and the robotic applications for those procedures
