Hernia repair is one of the commonest operations in general surgery. Open or laparoscopic repair of a primary inguinal hernia is a relatively straightforward operation, but more complex abdominal wall hernias demand greater surgical skill and knowledge. The editors have assembled the world's top herniologists to describe and illustrate numerous surgical techniques in detail. The field of herniology has developed rapidly over the last few years. Since the previous edition of this book, published in 2003, new surgical techniques have been developed and many new prosthetic and biologic materials have been introduced. Management of Abdominal Hernias 4e presents an authoritative, comprehensive and fully updated account of the surgical techniques and the available prosthetic materials for performing repair of abdominal wall hernias. Both open and laparoscopic methods are included. It is aimed at general and specialist surgeons in the practice of clinical surgery, as well as trainee surgeons.

Hernia repair is the commonest operation in general surgery accounting for up to 15% of procedures in some practices. While straightforward open repair of inguinal hernia is a relatively simple operation, more complex hernias demand great surgical skill. In addition, herniology has undergone considerable revolution over the past five years with the introduction and evaluation of laparoscopic repair techniques. This timely third edition of Management of Abdominal Hernias discusses every aspect of hernia repair and gives a balanced account of the various repair methods and helpful advice on which to use for different conditions. Chapters have been revised and updated throughout. In particular the logistics of hernia repair has been completely reworked to take into account developments in ambulatory day-case hernia surgery, principles of surgery has been fully updated and anaesthesia for hernia surgery has been rewritten with new illustrations throughout. The third edition also features new material on methods of investigation of the occult hernia and sportsman's groin, a discussion of the various types of mesh repair, an improved international perspective in the outcome data that is presented and a revision of the material on incisional hernia with an emphasis on modern techniques of incisional hernia repair. Drawing on the considerable experience of the two internationally renowned authors, this readable, well-balanced, beautifully illustrated and authoritative account is a must for the bookshelf of the general surgeon.

The purpose of this series of volumes is to present a comprehensive view of the complications that result from the use of acceptable diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. Individual volumes will deal with iatrogenic complications involving (1) the alimentary system, (2) the urinary system, (3) the respiratory and cardiac systems, (4) the skeletal system and (5) the pediatric patient. The term iatrogenic, derived from two Greek words, means physician-induced. Originally, it applied only to psychiatric disorders generated in the patient by autosuggestion, based on misinterpretation of the doctor's attitude and com ments. As clinically used, it now pertains to the inadvertent side-effects and com plications created in the course of diagnosis and treatment. The classic categories of disease have included: (1) congenital and developmental, (2) traumatic, (3) infectious and inflammatory, (4) metabolic, (5) neoplastic, and (6) degenerative. To these must be added, however, iatrogenic disorders-a major, although gen erally unacknowledged, source of illness. While great advances in medical care in both diagnosis and therapy have been accomplished in the past few decades, many are at times associated with certain side-effects and risks which may result in distress equal to or greater than the basic condition. Iatrogenic complications, which may be referred to as "diseases of medical progress," have become a new dimension in the causation of human disease.
