Management of Abdominal Hernias-4판

Contains a fully updated account of the surgical techniques and the available prosthetic materials for performing a
correct repair of simple to complex hernias
Written by experts in the field
Contains full color illustrations
Hernia repair is one of the commonest operations in general surgery. Open or laparoscopic repair of a primary inguinal
hernia is a relatively straightforward operation, but more complex abdominal wall hernias demand greater surgical
skill
and knowledge. The editors have assembled the world's top herniologists to describe and illustrate numerous surgical
techniques in detail. The field of herniology has developed rapidly over the last few years. Since the previous
edition
of this book, published in 2003, new surgical techniques have been developed and many new prosthetic and biologic
materials have been introduced. Management of Abdominal Hernias 4e presents an authoritative, comprehensive and fully
updated account of the surgical techniques and the available prosthetic materials for performing repair of abdominal
wall hernias. Both open and laparoscopic methods are included. It is aimed at general and specialist surgeons in the
practice of clinical surgery, as well as trainee surgeons.
