Chassin's Operative Strategy in Esophageal Surgery

Chassin's Operative Strategies in Esophageal Surgery is an inclusive yet concise review of surgical techniques for disorders of the esophagus. Ranging from legacy procedures to the latest minimally invasive approaches for GERD, this beautifully illustrated atlas specifically discusses the conceptual basis of the operations as well as the strategies necessary to avoid common pitfalls. Extracted from Chassin's Operative Strategies in General Surgery, this volume includes step-by-step descriptions of thirteen operative procedures in esophageal surgery.

Especially in thoracic surgery circles, and is the leading competitor of our esophageal spin-off Lower price and wider name recognition within general surgery places it at an advantage in comparison to the Pearson book A true atlas while the Pearson is a combined text/atlas with material many readers may find extraneous if they are looking primarily for technique Another competitor and uncontested classic, Skinner's Atlas of Esophageal Surgery, is not only outdated, but it does not include minimally invasive techniques No plans for revision were ever discovered for this book
