Esophageal Surgery

This new second edition provides authoritative coverage of all surgical diseases of the esophagus (adult and pediatric), including hiatal hernia, gastroesophageal reflux, neuromuscular disorders, and cancer. For all types of disease, the reader will find clear "how-to-do-it" guidance on the full range of surgical techniques. Additional chapters offer focused background on anatomy, imaging, and laboratory testing of value to both trainees and practitioners in esophageal surgery. Contributing authors are internationally known experts, and each chapter concludes with commentary by one of the editors or another senior authority.

Features:
* Remains the "gold standard" of esophageal surgery texts, with unsurpassed coverage of basic science, pathophysiology of disease, and technical detail.
* Contains chapters on both surgical disorders and specific surgical techniques.
* Offers concise yet detailed information on operative technique, surgical anatomy, and physiology.
* Provides thorough coverage of both open and minimally invasive methods.
* Features more than 600 superb illustrations
* Maintains the strong influence of the University of Toronto approach to esophageal surgery.

What's New:
* Contains significant updates related to video-assisted minimally invasive procedures.
* Details new surgical options in reflux disease
* Offers expanded coverage of diagnosis in esophageal cancer.
