Radical and Reconstructive Gynecologic Cancer Surgery

Learn how to perform the full range of radical pelvic procedures with this comprehensive text and atlas

Radical and Reconstructive Gynecologic Cancer Surgery is the first text to encompass the full range of extirpative and
reconstructive surgical procedures required to treat locally advanced and recurrent pelvic cancers. It is a unique
blend of clinical best practices and a detailed surgical atlas with numerous high-quality photographs and
illustrations. The book reflects the integrated multidisciplinary team approach necessary for the effective management
of these cancers.

The surgical chapters follow a consistent presentation that includes background, indications and clinical applications,
anatomical considerations, preoperative preparation, surgical procedure, postoperative care, and long-term outcomes.

Radical and Reconstructive Gynecologic Cancer Surgery is divided into three main parts:

PART 1 covers the historical evolution of radical pelvic surgical procedures and provides an anatomical review of
pertinent pelvic and abdominal visceral, vascular, and bony structures as a foundation for the detailed descriptions
and illustrations of the surgical procedures that follow.

PART 2 consists of the extirpative procedures organized by system, physiology, and anatomic region in a text and atlas
format. The detailed illustrations are complemented by operative photographs that emphasize the practical or "how-to"
aspects of each procedure.

PART 3 includes comprehensive coverage of the full range of reconstructive procedures and surgical options available to
optimize patient outcomes, as well as a chapter on rehabilitation, quality of life issues, and symptom management.
