The Seventh Edition of CURRENT SURGICAL THERAPY features 280 all-new chapters, each written by an expert surgeon who offers proven, practical approaches to the surgical management of a given disease. Contributors have been chosen not only for their prominence in the field, but also because they are actively involved in patient care. Each chapter covers a condition that is seen with some frequency in the general surgeon's practice. For faster reference, chapters follow a consistent format: patient selection, timing of therapy, preoperative care, operative technique, postoperative management, adjuvant therapy, prevention and management of complications, and follow-up. Diagnosis and pathophysiology are discussed only to the extent that they affect treatment choices. All-new chapters by all-new contributors explore more than 280 different diseases--discussing patient selection, timing of therapy, preoperative care, technique, adjuvant therapy, complications, follow-up, and more for each disorder!

The 7th Edition features 280 all-new chapters, each written by an expert who offers proven, practical approaches to the surgical treatment of a given disease. - MS 09/2003

At present, there are approximately 28,300 new cases of pancreatic cancer in the United States. It is the fourth leading cause of cancer death in men and women. Approximately 2 out of 10 patients with cancer of the pancreas will live at least one year after the cancer is found, but only a very few will survive for five or more years. The editors have brought together a stellar team of oncologists from surgery, medicine, and radiation therapy to provide a concise yet thorough guide to the understanding and management of pancreatic cancer. From epidemiology and genetics to diagnosis, management, and reconstruction, coverage of the subject is inclusive.

The first edition of this superb, two-volume atlas on surgery of the biliary tract, pancreas and liver was published nearly 20 years ago. Dr. Cameron has revisited and updated this classic work to include laparoscopic techniques and to demonstrate the current status of gastrointestinal surgical procedures. Written for the experienced surgeon, this two-volume work is beautifully illustrated with anatomical watercolor paintings by co-author Corinne Sandone that elevate the work to a level not seen in other atlases. The goal of this volume is to present the alimentary tract procedures performed and in some instances initiated at the Johns Hopkins Hospital in such a fashion that other alimentary tract surgeons can learn these techniques and perform them successfully. KEY FEATURES
