I migliori libri di chirurgia dello stomaco e del duodeno

In questo articolo scopriremo quali sono i migliori libri sulla chirurgia dello stomaco e del duodeno: la chirurgia gastrica è un campo della medicina in continua evoluzione che si occupa di numerose patologie, oltre quelle tumorali.

Lo stomaco è l’organo che fa parte dell’apparato digerente e che è posizionato tra esofago ed intestino tenue. La chirurgia gastrica si occupa prevalentemente del trattamento del tumore dello stomaco tramite resezione chirurgica, operazione chiamata in medicina gastrectomia. Oggi la chirurgia dello stomaco è sempre meno “open” (necessaria quando il paziente presenta un tumore avanzato), avvalendosi ogni qual volta sia possibile (quando il tumore è in uno stadio non avanzato) delle nuove tecniche mini-invasive, in primis la laparoscopia.

In questo nostro articolo sui migliori libri di chirurgia dello stomaco e del duodeno troverete i testi di medicina di più recente pubblicazione sull’argomento e alcuni manuali di chirurgia gastrica di approfondimento.

Chirurgia dello stomaco

---

Si tratta di una pregevole rassegna a più voci, che prende in considerazione i vari aspetti – molti – della chirurgia dello stomaco. L’iconografia, accurata e molto ricca, accompagnata da un testo esplicativo e completo, fa dell’opera un atlante molto ben commentato, facile e rapido da consultare. Non posso non segnalare positivamente l’ampio spazio (sembrerebbe persino eccessivo, ma non lo è) dedicato alla patologia ulcerosa e alle sue varie modalità terapeutiche (dalla resezione alla vagotomia), capitolo indispensabile per la formazione dei giovani chirurghi oggi molto meno adusi di un tempo ad affrontare la patologia ulcerosa nei suoi aspetti più difficili e complessi, sia in elezione che in urgenza. Lo schema dell’opera, ripreso in ogni capitolo (che esamina per ogni argomento indicazioni e controindicazioni, pianificazione preoperatoria, tecnica chirurgica, gestione postoperatoria e possibili complicanze) ha un sicuro importante valore formativo: motivo per cui volentieri ne consiglio la consultazione.

Surgery for Gastric Cancer

---

This book clearly describes the surgical procedures employed in patients with gastric cancer. The techniques used in the various types of gastrectomy are presented step by step, and the roles of endoscopic treatment and chemotherapy are also discussed. A distinctive practical feature is the provision of accompanying online videos of standard surgical procedures, which will serve as excellent learning aids for novice practitioners and provide ideal teaching material for experienced surgeons.Surgery remains the mainstay in the treatment of gastric cancer. With advances in tumor biology and technical developments, gastric cancer surgery has become more diverse and its outcomes have steadily improved. However, further improvement of certain aspects of surgical procedures and techniques is still required. Surgery for Gastric Cancer will acquaint readers with the state of the art in the field and prove a valuable tool in the quest for optimal practice.

Biomechanics of the Human Stomach

---

This book concerns the mathematical modeling and computer simulation of the human stomach. It follows the four modern P’s (prevention, prediction, personalization, and precision in medicine) approach in addressing the highly heterogeneous nature of processes underlying gastric motility disorders manifested as gastroparesis, functional dyspepsia, myenteric enteropathy etc.  The book comprehensively guides readers through the fundamental theoretical concepts to complex physiological models of the organ.  This requires a deep and thorough understanding of driving pathophysiological mechanisms as well as the collaborative effort of specialists working in fundamental and biological science. Such a multidisciplinary partnership is vital because it upholds gnostic capabilities and provides the exchange of thoughts and ideas thus offering broad perspectives into the evolution and management of diseases. The book is a valuable resource for applied mathematicians, computational biologists, bioengineers, physicians, physiologists and researchers working in various fields of biomedicine.
