Chassin's Operative Strategy in Esophageal Surgery

Chassin’s Operative Strategies in Esophageal Surgery offers the
reader a succinct review of surgical techniques for disorders of the
esophagus. Spanning from well-established legacy procedures to the
most up-to-date minimally invasive approaches for GERD, this
brilliantly illustrated atlas exclusively presents the theoretical
basis of the operations as well as the strategies required to steer
clear of common pitfalls. Educed from Chassin’s Operative Strategies
in General Surgery, this volume includes step-by-step descriptions of
thirteen (13) operative procedures in esophageal surgery.
