The first edition of this superb, two-volume atlas on surgery of the biliary tract, pancreas and liver was published 23 years ago. Dr. Cameron has revisited and updated this classic work to include laparoscopic techniques and to demonstrate the current status of gastrointestinal surgical procedures. Written for the experienced surgeon, this two-volume work is beautifully illustrated with anatomical watercolour paintings by co-author Corinne Sandone that elevate the work to a level not seen in other atlases. The goal of this volume is to present the alimentary tract procedures performed - and in some instances initiated - at the Johns Hopkins Hospital in such a fashion that other alimentary tract surgeons can learn these techniques and perform them successfully. Volume 2 includes operative procedures on the stomach, duodenum, small bowel, colon, rectum, and anus. Both open and laparoscopic approaches are described for many of the procedures.show more
