Operative Techniques in Foregut Surgery

Operative Techniques in Gastrointestinal Surgery is a new, comprehensive text/atlas of procedures and techniques for
thoracic fellows, practitioners, and general surgeons. It graphically depicts procedures in a consistent format that is

are frequently paired with illustrations for a more complete view of steps and techniques in the procedures. Coverage
is extensive, including encyclopedic reviews of hernia surgery, drainage procedures, vagotomy gastrectomy, gastrotomy,
and bariatric procedures. Each procedure briefly covers intraoperative considerations before stepping through each
technique. Techniques are lavishly illustrated in full color. All currently used open, laparoscopuic, endoscopic, and
endovascular procedures are reviewed.
