"In this atlas, the authors (European and American specialists) demonstrate the value of thoracoscopy and provide the details necessary for the novice by combining textbook and atlas formats. This book encompasses the history of thoracoscopy, as well as its technical characteristics and the morphological appearance of pathologic tissues, based on the authors' personal experiences and on the literature. The authors emphasize those technical areas where thoracoscopy differ from other types of endoscopy. Photographs are supplemented by case reports which illustrate the indications, techniques, and outcome of the procedure. The book is organized according to clinical criteria on which the physician can base his or her decision to perform thoracoscopy. Because of the variability of presentation, common diseases are shown in several manifestations, whereas more rare diseases are presented only when their thoracoscopic appearance is characteristic. This atlas also includes new developments in video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). Camera optics (as opposed to video optics) have been used to produce high quality images"--Provided by publisher.

In the age of the World Wide Web, informed patients continue to surprise oncologists with detailed questions about popular tumor therapies. Although minimally invasive tumor therapies (MITT) have become daily clinical practice for palliative treatment of liver tumors, the acceptance of these palliative modalities still varies enormously. In addition, promising results have been published for in situ ablation of lung metastases, bone tumors, and renal cell carcinoma. This book gives an up-to-date overview of the popular techniques and clinical results of MITT, with a clarification of the actual indications including the size, tumor entities, and clinical benefits. Moreover, the book focuses on the prospectives and limitations of imaging methods - ultrasound, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging - used for MITT.

La nascita e lo sviluppo della chirurgia laparoscopica e mini-invasiva è il cambiamento più importante avvenuto in chirurgia pediatrica negli ultimi 30 anni. Il grande impulso a questa branca della chirurgia è legato allo sforzo combinato di molti chirurghi pediatri pionieri nel campo delle tecniche chirurgiche dedicate esclusivamente all’età pediatrica e allo sviluppo tecnologico, che ha permesso la miniaturizzazione degli strumenti laparoscopici nati in origine solo per l’utilizzo su adulti. Questo volume permette una rapida consultazione grazie alla praticità della struttura: per ogni patologia sono riportate le indicazioni e le note essenziali di tecnica chirurgica, arricchite da schemi e figure che mostrano le posizioni del paziente, le posizioni dei trocars oltre agli step principali della tecnica chirurgica, ed è completato da un mini-DVD che propone filmati delle principali tecniche descritte nel testo. La trattazione degli argomenti - tra i quali laparoscopia, toracoscopia, retroperitoneoscopia, robotica, realtà virtuale e problematiche medico legali - è stata affidata a un team di esperti italiani e internazionali del campo. Il volume è dedicato primariamente ai chirurghi pediatri, ma può essere di valido aiuto anche per i chirurghi generali, gli urologi e i chirurghi delle altre specialità che si trovano ad operare pazienti pediatrici.
