Synopses & Reviews
The close anatomical proximity of the colon, rectum and anus to the gynecologic and urologic organs often results in a disease affecting one of these organ systems to create complications in another. Many colorectal, gynecologic, and urologic diseases, and the management of their complications, necessitate technically-challenging reoperations. Reoperation on this anatomic area is often necessitated by cancer recurrence, adhesive disease, recurrence of pelvic prolapse disorders as well as in the execution of multi-staged procedures. Divided into three main sections, Reoperative Pelvic Surgery addresses benign and malignant colorectal, gynecologic, and urologic diseases specifically as they are managed in the reoperative setting with a multi-disciplinary emphasis on decision-making, operative strategies, and complications management. Authors discuss important anatomical landmarks, including surgically altered anatomy and function, as well as strategies for the often adhesive nature of the previously operated pelvis. Topics include cancer of the colon, rectum, anus, ovary, uterus, bladder, and prostate, ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, rectal prolapse, bowel obstruction, endometriosis, vaginal prolapse, fistulae, incontinence, cystocele, and ureteral strictures. With 200 illustrations and 75 tables, Reoperative Pelvic Surgery will provide a comprehensive resource of technical material not found in standard surgery references. For the colorectal surgeon, general surgeon, gynecologic or urologic surgeon facing the challenges of reoperative surgery in the pelvis, Reoperative Pelvic Surgery will provide the surgeon with the information needed for optimal surgical management of these difficult conditions.
Synopsis
The close anatomical proximity of the colon, rectum and anus to the gynecologic and urologic organs often results in a disease affecting one of these organ systems to create complications in another. Reoperation on this anatomic area is often necessitated by cancer recurrence, adhesive disease, recurrence of pelvic prolapse disorders as well as in the execution of multi-staged procedures. Many of the diseases, including cancer, ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, prolapse, incontinence, and fistulas also necessitate reoperations--thus increasing the complexity and difficulty in achieving successful surgical management. Under the editorship of Richard P. Billingham, MD, Kathleen Kobashi, MD, and William Peters, MD, a group of multidisciplinary experts present the surgical techniques and challenges of reoperative surgery in the pelvis with a multi-disciplinary emphasis on decision-making, operative strategies, and complications management. Authors discuss important anatomical landmarks, including surgically altered anatomy and function, as well as strategies for the often adhesive nature of the previously operated pelvis. For colorectal surgeons, general surgeons, gynecologic surgeons, and urologic surgeons, Reoperative Pelvic Surgery will prove a comprehensive resource of technical material not found in standard surgery references.
Synopsis
Clearly organized in three sections, this volume discusses benign and malignant colorectal, gynecologic, and urologic diseases within a reoperative context. The multi-disciplinary approach focuses on decision making, operative strategies and management of complications.
