A paradigm shift in contemporary practice favours the use of less intrusive approaches in abdominal surgeries over open methods. A wide array of advanced laparoscopic techniques is applied in surgeries of the colon and rectum in addition to abdominal operations for hernias. This book serves as an adjunct guide to a structured curriculum of training for colorectal and general surgeons. Designed to provide up-to-date information on the indications, contraindications preoperative preparation, technique, and post-operative complications of specified surgeries, this book is a descriptive surgery textbook on minimally invasive surgery. It gives a uniform structured format of chapters with multiple pictures and illustrations. An easy-to-read book in four sections: 1) Colon and Small bowel, 2) Rectum, 3) Pelvic floor, and 4) Hernias.

This concise book aids surgical trainees and early career colorectal surgeons through their mentored training.

This text presents the experiences of leading researchers and surgeons with different fluorescence methods. Chapters range from basic science of fluorescence to current clinical applications and new horizons. The first few chapters describe the historical evolution and physical principles of fluorescence and provide the foundation for the reader to understand the current scope and limits of its use in surgery. The second section focuses on the clinical applications of intraoperative fluorescence imaging including subsections on fluorescence cholangiography, applications to hepatectomy, lymph node navigation, applications to GI tract and pelvic surgery and identification of cancer tissues. The third section focuses on new frontiers including fluorescence probes, imaging systems and applications to photodynamic therapy.

Authored by leaders in the development of fluorescent methods worldwide, Fluorescence Imaging for Surgeons: Concepts and Applications will have an impact on numerous medical specialists including general surgeons, colorectal and minimally-invasive surgeons and surgical oncologists. Researchers will find the book to be an invaluable resource on the latest advances in the utilization of nanoparticles and fluorescent probes.​

This book is intended for medical students and surgical trainees such as surgical residents and fellows. It provides a practical preparation guide for common surgical procedures. Operations are divided into twelve sections that cover commonly performed general surgery operations such as bariatric, breast, cardiothoracic, colorectal, minimally invasive, and more. The chapters included in these sections aim to assist residents and fellows in facilitating memorization of the operation sequence and movements required to perform a given task. It will also help enhance skill development in the operating room.
