Multiorgan Resections for Cancer: Advanced Surgical Techniques (Hardcover)

Frequently abdominal tumors and other processes can affect and invade
adjacent structures. These phenomena can happen anywhere in the
abdominal cavity, from the diaphragm to the pelvis. In the case of
advanced tumors, special surgical techniques must be used which may
necessitate the excision of several abdominal organs. These
procedures are sometimes associated with secondary transplant
surgical procedures.

This is the first book to cover complex abdominal surgery in this
manner, and is sure to be a great aid in helping the surgeon to find
solutions to some of the most difficult problems in surgery
