This comprehensive, illustrated guide presents representative general surgery, including gastrointestinal tract, hepatobiliary and inguinal hernia. Surgery is generally based on the microanatomy; however, in practice surgery involves more dynamic and floating anatomy. In the last decade, the methods have been constantly improved, shedding new light on classical anatomical science. Laparoscopic is one such methodology. All illustrations presented in this book have been drawn by the author – a pioneering surgeon – and show real-world procedures. All the methods introduced are practical and have been refined based on the precise clinical and embryological anatomy. This unique book offers readers essential insights into efficient and high-integrity surgeries in abdominal region. As such, it is a valuable resource for all gastrointestinal surgeons.

Les traumatismes abdominaux contondants isolés (BAT) représentent environ 5 % de la mortalité annuelle par traumatisme d'un traumatisme contondant Dans le cadre d'une lésion multisite (polytraumatisme), BAT apporte une autre 15% de la mortalité traumatique Dans le traumatisme abdominal, la meilleure stratégie d'exploration est celle qui conduit le plus rapidement et le plus faiblement au diagnostic des lésions chirurgicales Cette stratégie doit être établi en fonction de l'état hémodynamique et des directives cliniques, mais ne doit jamais retarder un homéostasie thérapeutique La reconnaissance précoce et les décisions de traitement ont été grandement impacté par l'imagerie en coupe transversale de plus en plus sophistiquée et les thérapies guidées par l'image et peu invasives

Parce que les progrès de la médecine sont le fruit d’innovations, l’évaluation de ces innovations est nécessaire. Seule la connaissance des méthodes d’évaluation qui passe par une analyse statistique, permet de mener des travaux de recherche, notamment clinique, avec une rigueur suffisante. La compréhension des concepts sur lesquels s’appuient ces méthodes est plus importante que la connaissance des démonstrations mathématiques. Pour des lecteurs, elle permet de se faire une opinion critique sur les publications ou vis-à -vis des sollicitations dont ils font l’objet. Pour les étudiants en médecine, l’apprentissage de la lecture critique d’articles est un des objectifs de l’examen classant national en fin du deuxième cycle.
