Atlas of Endoscopic Anatomy for Endonasal Intracranial Surgery

It is only recently that the use of the endoscope as the sole visualizing tool has been introduced in transsphenoidal pituitary surgery with its favorable related implications and minimal operative trauma. Of course, microscopic and endoscopic anatomy are basically the same, but the optical distorsion of endoscopic images is quite substantial compared to microscopic depictions. An endoscope lens produces images with maximal magnification at its center and severe contraction at its periphery. Nearer images are disproportionally enlarged and remote images are falsely miniaturized. This optical illusion may disorientate a surgeon who is not familiar with this peculiar condition at the skull base. This atlas acts as a guide through the endoscopic anatomy and gives detailed descriptions of the preoperative management and the surgical procedures.

Atlas of Endoscopic Major Pulmonary Resections

The first version of this atlas was released as video-assisted major pulmonary resections were just emerging as a valid alternative to conventional techniques. In this second edition, many different techniques have been described, depending on the use or non-use of an accessory mini-thoracotomy and on the use or non-use of endoscopic instrumentation and video display. One of these techniques is the totally endoscopic approach, in which only endoscopic instruments and monitor control are used. This is the technique that will be described in this atlas. The purpose of this atlas is to describe each endoscopic pulmonary lobectomy and segmentectomy step by step, relying on brief technical notes and high-quality still pictures which are orientated and labeled to make them as comprehensible as possible. Each chapter is introduced by an anatomical background which is illustrated by three-dimensional reconstructions. Technical «tricks» and specific dangers are mentioned by pictograms. The technical descriptions of this atlas are based on the author’s technique, which can be different from other video-assisted approaches. Our intent is that surgeons embarking in video-assisted major pulmonary resections-whatever the approach they use-can find helpful hints and take their bearings in this totally new vision of pulmonary and mediastinal anatomy.Compared to the previous version, all chapters have been rewritten, taking into account the progresses of the technique and the technology and some new chapters have been added. Most steps of the procedures are now illustrated, not only with pictures, but also with a video clip.

Atlas of Endoscopic Major Pulmonary Resections

This third edition Atlas of Endoscopic Major Pulmonary Resections describes in detail the totally thoracoscopic approach to major pulmonary resections, in which only endoscopic instruments and monitor control are used. Pulmonary lobectomies and segmentectomies are presented step by step, using brief technical notes and high-quality, clearly labeled still images. Each chapter begins with information on the anatomical background, which is illustrated in three-dimensional reconstructions. In turn, technical ‘tricks’ and specific pitfalls are explained in pictograms. The technical descriptions presented here are based on the author’s own technique, which in some cases differs from other video-assisted approaches. The goal is for surgeons embarking on video-assisted major pulmonary resections – regardless of which approach they use – to find helpful hints and guidance on this totally new vision of pulmonary and mediastinal anatomy.The first edition of this atlas was released at a time when video-assisted major pulmonary resections were just emerging as a valid alternative to conventional techniques. In the second edition, chapters on sublobar resections, as a new alternative to lobectomy in selected patients, were added. In this third edition, as the interest in sublobar resections is growing, and because they are challenging, the technique is dealt with in depth. In particular, readers will be introduced to new imaging technologies to support these techniques.

Atlas of endoscopic major pulmonary resections

It is my greatest honor to be asked to write this foreword for the first edition of the Atlas of Endoscopic Major Pulmonary Resections by Dr Dominique Gossot. I have known Dr Gossot for over 15 years and have worked with him for many workshops and thoracic meetings. He is a pioneer in video-assisted thoracic surgery, and one of the most innovative thoracic surgeons I have known. Minimally invasive surgery has set a new standard of care for all surgical disciplines. Video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) offers a much kinder approach to the management of a wide variety of surgical conditions c- pared with conventional thoracotomy for these patients. Anatomical or major lung resections are a complex set of procedures commonly performed by thoracic s- geons. The adoption of the VATS approach for these procedures has received increasing acceptance by the thoracic surgical community, our pulmonologist and oncology colleagues, as well as the patients over the past two decades. There is now a growing body of evidence in the literature showing that the VATS approach is safe, oncologically sound, and associated with much lower morbidity compared with its conventional counterparts in the management of early lung cancers and benign conditions. Although there have been other books and atlases on VATS, this volume distinguishes itself in two respects.

Atlas of Enteroscopy: Endoscopy of the Small and Large Bowel; Retrograde Cholangio-Pancreatography

It is my pleasure to introduce you to this new Atlas by Professor DEMLING and his colleagues on the very timely subjects colonoscopy, duodenoscopy and endoscopic cannu­ lation of the bile and pancreatic ducts. Professor DEMLING, unlike many others who carry his teaching and administra­ tive burdens, continues to be very personally involved in performing endoscopies. His clinic is one of the best organized and best equipped in the world. Professor DEM­ LING and his colleagues have been instrumental in introducing to the European continent these new techniques of duodeno­ scopy, colonoscopy and bile duct cannulation which were originally developed in Japan. They have added significant contributions of their own and now present to the reader a clear, concise, very well illustrated description of these methods. Dr. CLASSEN is one of the pioneers in endoscopic cannula­ tion. He has been kind enough to come to the United States and share his expertise with us at several Post Graduate Education programs. The students in these courses have been most enthusiastic about his presentations. Through this text he makes his extensive experience available to all endo­ scopists. The beginner at cannulation will find the illustrations of the various shapes the papilla may assume most helpful. I had the pleasure this summer of teaching a course in Brazil with Dr. FRUHMORGEN. Very few physicians have con­ centrated on colonoscopy to the extent that he has.
