Product Description
Hernia repair is one of the latest recruits in the army of minimally invasive techniques. It is now expected that all trainees will need to learn these laparoscopic techniques, and that all general surgeons will perform them. Instead of discussing each possible alternative, this book reflects a consensus about those techniques that Dr Dunn and his team have developed by treating more than 250 patients. Because an understanding of anatomical relationships and distances is essential in remote surgery for the correct performance of procedures and the avoidance of complications, a main feature of the book is a presentation of anatomy. Moreover, a unique approach of this book is the use of foreshortened anatomical drawings to mimic the view a surgeon sees through the optical lens. ... Read more

Product Description
Causing less post-operative pain, with faster recovery and better cosmesis, laparoscopic surgery has led to a new emphasis on patient-oriented surgical treatment. Yet the procedure is costly compared to conventional surgery and, although widely accepted for symptomatic cholelithiasis techniques have not been proven for groin hernia. This volume takes a critical look at the available facts concerning both conventional and laparoscopic hernia repair, allowing readers to make their own judgements regarding which technique is the most appropriate. Beginning with a historical overview and examination of the socio-economic implications, leading experts review the anatomy and pathophysiology of inguinal hernia, compare the diverse surgical techniques, and review the results of the most advanced conventional and laparoscopic procedures. A discussion of possible future implications completes the book. ... Read more
