Product Description
Webster's bibliographic and event-based timelines are comprehensive in scope, covering virtually all topics, geographic locations and people. They do so from a linguistic point of view, and in the case of this book, the focus is on "Diaphragmatic Hernia," including when used in literature (e.g. all authors that might have Diaphragmatic Hernia in their name). As such, this book represents the largest compilation of timeline events associated with Diaphragmatic Hernia when it is used in proper noun form. Webster's timelines cover bibliographic citations, patented inventions, as well as non-conventional and alternative meanings which capture ambiguities in usage. These furthermore cover all parts of speech (possessive, institutional usage, geographic usage) and contexts, including pop culture, the arts, social sciences (linguistics, history, geography, economics, sociology, political science), business, computer science, literature, law, medicine, psychology, mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology and other physical sciences. This "data dump" results in a comprehensive set of entries for a bibliographic and/or event-based timeline on the proper name Diaphragmatic Hernia, since editorial decisions to include or exclude events is purely a linguistic process. The resulting entries are used under license or with permission, used under "fair use" conditions, used in agreement with the original authors, or are in the public domain. ... Read more

Product Description
This reference focuses on internal intra-abdominal hernias, a relatively rare problem. The author bases clinical information in the book on his experience with the malady over the course of 40 years as a surgeon. It carefully examines differences among various groups of intra-abdominal hernias, presenting a classification scheme based on an in-depth study and review of world medical literature published over the last two centuries. Anatomy is described and illustrated in detail, and synonyms are italicized within the text to avoid confusion with existing terminology. The mechanism for development of the "paraduodenal hernias" has been studied in detail in the cat model, presenting a different concept of the embryology of the six hernias in this region. ...

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
