Physicians are used to treating medical problems as they arise. Patients don't usually go to a doctor unless they are feeling ill. But with the biomedical technology breakthroughs of the last few decades, the future of medicine has become proactive, and preventive health care will take center stage. Screening techniques, and the recommendations based on their results, will play a vital role. While no picture can replace experience and no book can replace good training and constant practice, An Atlas of Sigmoidoscopy and Cystoscopy provides key information on screening techniques that can significantly ameliorate or prevent many conditions from becoming serious. It allows non-specialists to gain some initial knowledge about sigmoidoscopy and cystoscopy, helping them to make appropriate referrals and recommendations, and give more patients access to screening exams. The author has assembled information from diverse sources. The words and pictures complement each other, presenting the fundamentals of critically important procedures. From the preoperative consents and other paperwork to intraoperative findings, An Atlas of Sigmoidoscopy and Cystoscopy fills a significant void on your shelf and in this field.

While there are a plethora of practical texts relating to general gynecology, there are few specific to gynecological oncology. Taking a "cookbook" approach with clearly written and pictorial instructions, Atlas of Gynecologic Oncology: Investigation and Surgery describes and illustrates important procedures in the repertoire of a gynecological oncologist. International authorities contribute their expertise on a range of topics, including tumor markers, pain management, cross-sectional imaging, treatment of vascular defects, and more. The book pulls together investigations performed by the authors and their colleagues from other disciplines. It covers computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and stenting, which were previously accessible only in radiological or urological texts. The chapter on genetic and other screening methods for ovarian cancer provides insight into a rapidly expanding area within the subspecialty. The text is deliberately short and the illustrations, all the work of one team of artists to maintain clarity and continuity of presentation, put the techniques at your fingertips. The radiological and endoscopic sections include photographs with line drawings to aid clarity. Clearly and concisely written, the book is a practical and easy-to-use guide to investigation and surgery.

​This book captures cornerstone developments in a new body of knowledge and provides an expert resource on a “hot topic” in rectal surgery. Transanal minimally invasive surgery (TAMIS) was designed for local excision of select rectal neoplasms, however soon it became realized that the TAMIS technique could be used for applications beyond local excision, most notably for transanal total mesorectal excision (taTME). This new operative technique has revolutionized our approach to the distal rectum by allowing for improved access, especially in obese male patients with an android pelvis, and by minimizing abdominal wall access trauma. The endpoints of improved oncologic resection, as defined by mesorectal envelope completeness, negative circumferential resection margins, and negative distal margin, are assessed. This book details controversies, pitfalls, and future directions of taTME and TAMIS. Chapters are authored by those on the forefront of innovation with TAMIS and taTME, and each is considered an authority on the topic. Transanal Minimally Invasive Surgery (TAMIS) and Transanal Total Mesorectal Excision (taTME) is a must-have reference for surgeons who are performing this operation and fellows in training who want to completely understand the various nuances of TAMIS and taTME.
