Opis

The aim of the book is to answer the following questions:§What is the nature of the operation in terms of anatomical rearrangement?§What does this look like on post-operative imaging?§What complications can occur following this operation?§What do the complications look like on imaging?§How does one differentiate normal post-operative anatomy from the associated complications?§Each chapter will provide a comprehensive description of the most common abdominal operations involving the gastrointestinal tract, pancreas, liver and genitourinary systems, illustrated with artists' drawings and radiological images of normal post operative anatomy. The complications associated with each procedure will be in table format consisting of brief text description alongside imaging examples. There will be teaching points - particularly emphasising differentiation between normal post-operative anatomy and complications. Imaging examples will be mostly barium and water contrast studies and CT - but MRI, angiography and ultrasound will also be included. The book will be divided into nine chapters. References will be included at the end of each chapter.§Line drawings will be illustrated by a consultant radiologist (with previous higher specialty surgical training) and a consultant surgeon.§The editors have collected an extensive library of high resolution TIFF images of post-operative anatomy and complications. All images will have arrows delineating normal anatomy and features of complications.§Leeds has an excellent national and international reputation in gastrointestinal and hepato-biliary radiology and surgery. This and the reputation of some of the book s authors will provide an excellent selling point.§The book will be of interest to consultant radiologists, specialist registrars in radiology and general surgical trainees, worldwide.

Recenzje

From the reviews:

"The content of the book is divided into 9 parts ... . Each chapter is enriched by very precise, well reproduced images, explanations about the surgical technique/s employed ... and an updated reference list. ... Quite an impressive book to be recommended to surgeons ... and to radiologists (who have to answer surgeons' requests in the best and most precise way) a book to be kept at hand and used in the daily routine in any department." (G. Beluffi, La radiologia medica, Vol. 118, 2013)

"This book is a 'get out of jail free' card for every radiologist and every surgeon who has to deal with patients following abdominal surgery. ... The text is commendably readable and concise, making it a very good bench book for quick referral when busy lists and impatient surgeons make prompt reporting essential. ... My advice can only be get a copy, keep it close to you; it will become a good friend." (D. Martin, Clinical Radiology, Vol. 68 (2), 2013)

"This is an excellent book and one that I enjoyed reading and will keep in my room at work to assist with reporting, particularly when I am on-call. ... 'every department should have a copy in their library' and that it was a 'very good book.' ... The book is well illustrated using most imaging modalities, including contrast studies, CT, MRI, and plain films. ... There are many helpful line diagrams illustrating procedures." (Adrian Thomas, RAD Magazine, September, 2012)

"The Editors (Drs. Brittenden & Tolan) and chapter authors should be congratulated for tackling such a highly challenging topic ... . The chapters are logically organized and peppered with useful schematics that demonstrate the all relevant surgical procedures. ... The many illustrated clinical examples nicely support the text. I would highly recommend this book for anyone faced with the challenge of interpreting radiologic studies in the post-operative setting." (Perry J. Pickhardt, Amazon, July, 2012)
