Surgical Diseases of the Pancreas and Biliary Tree

Editat de Savio George Barreto, John A. Windsor
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 25 sep 2018
This book provides an evidence-based approach to the diagnosis and surgical management of the diseases of the pancreas and biliary tree, highlighting the most recent findings. The chapters are designed to accompany the reader on a step-by-step approach to the patient, providing the latest evidence to justify each recommendation. Wherever feasible and indicated, emphasis is placed on the use of tables and algorithms to simplify decision-making.
The information contained in this well-referenced book is thus relevant not only to practicing pancreatobiliary and general surgeons, but also offers valuable guidance for surgical trainees.
This book covers 14 diseases of the pancreas and biliary tree, from the more common gallstones and common bile duct stones, acute and chronic pancreatitis, to more complex benign conditions such as biliary fistulae and strictures, as well as cystic tumors of the pancreas, and finally the major malignancies include gallbladder cancer, pancreatic cancer and hilar cholangiocarcinoma.

Recenzii

“The book addresses all aspects of the pancreas and biliary tree from embryological development to the variety of pathologies. This is perhaps its greatest strength -- the ability to progress from the development of the foregut structures on through function and the treatment of common diseases. … This is a very nice addition to the field of pancreas and biliary surgery. … it is an excellent book that will serve its intended audience well.” (Peter Nau, Doody's Book Reviews, December 7, 2018)

Dr. Barreto secured his Doctor of Philosophy degree from Flinders University for his work on the neuropeptide galanin and its antagonists, their effects on pancreatic exocrine secretion, and their role in acute pancreatitis. His interests focus on the basic science and surgical aspects of acute pancreatitis, pancreatic, gastric, and gallbladder cancer. He has published a carcinogenesis model in gallbladder cancer to aid in understanding the development of the cancer and to further therapy-directed research. He, along with Professor John Windsor, has proposed the first evidence-based definition of early gastric cancer. Dr. Barreto has authored more than 150 clinical and basic science research papers as well as book chapters on GI and HPB-related topics and has been invited to lecture on his work all over the world. He serves on the Indian Council of Medical Research Task force groups for the development of guidelines for the management of gastric, pancreatic and neuroendocrine cancers for India.

His surgical interests include the management of acute and chronic pancreatitis, pancreatic cancer, and gastro-oesophageal reflux and cancer. His research interests include the pathophysiology of acute pancreatitis, the role of toxic mesenteric lymph in critical illness, and the mapping and modulation of gastric electrical activity. He has published over 380 peer-reviewed manuscripts and has an H-index of 60, over 200 invited lectures and 8 visiting professorships to his credit.
