Management of Abdominal Hernias e-bog

Hernia repair is one of the commonest operations in general surgery. While straightforward open repair of inguinal hernia is a relatively simple operation, more complex hernias demand great surgical skill. The field of herniology has developed rapidly over the last few years. The last book published on the subject was the 3rd edition of this title, in 2003. Since then, not only have new surgical techniques been developed, but, importantly, new prosthetic biomaterials are being introduced rapidly and in ever increasing numbers. Management of Abdominal Wall Hernias 4e presents an authoritative, comprehensive and fully updated account of the surgical techniques and the available prosthetic materials for performing a correct repair of simple to complex hernias. Both open and laparoscopic methods are included. It is aimed at surgeons in the practice of clinical surgery, both the experts and the non-expert general surgeons with an interest in the repair of hernias and trainee surgeons.
