Operative Pediatric Surgery 6ed ||

The seventh edition of the acclaimed text Operative Pediatric Surgery continues to provide a unique level of comprehensive detail on the full range of surgically treatable conditions presented in neonate and childhood as well as in utero. With an international list of authors, the chapters have been updated and complemented by the high-quality artwork that has established this operative guide as the standard reference for the pediatric surgeon. This new edition retains the successful format of previous editions. It first highlights the initial principles and justification for the procedure. Next, the book outlines preoperative investigations and preparation. This is followed by the operative procedure itself and postoperative management. New chapters have been added to this edition that cover the latest techniques such as minimal invasive surgery, robotic surgery, and single orifice laparoscopic surgery.The chapters are arranged in eight sections, with each section emphasizing the overall management of patients. Tricks of the trade of individual authors are included, as well as discussions of technical and clinical judgment. The new and updated edition of Operative Pediatric Surgery remains the pre-eminent operative guide to a full range of pediatric conditions.

The sixth edition of this acclaimed operative atlas continues to provide a unique level of comprehensive detail on the full range of conditions presented in childhood, including the fetus and neonate, that can be treated by surgical means. All chapters have been thoroughly revised and updated throughout with new line diagrams where necessary. Also touching upon indications, complications and non-operative management, Operative Pedaitric Surgery remains the pre-eminent operative guide to a full range of paediatric conditions.

The format of the book, which is formal, is similar to the previous editions, with each chapter commencing with a brief history of the condition, indications for surgery, position for surgery, incision, the operative procedure and alternatives when indicated,postoperative care, complications together with a very useful list of further reading. The medical artists have improved the effective, simple black-and-white line drawings and few radiographs. The layout of the book is uncomplicated and the text both easy to read and comprehend. The hardback black binding with its only coloured diagram on the cover gives the book an elegant appearance.

The authority of this book is enhanced and established by the inclusion of several new authors contributing in their field of specialty and supraspecialty in children's surgery. The two editors have selected contributors mainly from the US, a third from the UK and a very few from other parts of the world. This is sadly reflected in the adoption of the American spelling of words such as esophagus in place of oesophagus, which leads to confusion when referring to the index.

This book, as the editors note, is the operative manual of choice for paediatric surgeons though probably limited to the developed English-speaking countries. At a cost of 250 few in the developing countries could buy a personal copy. The other drawback is that there is a dearth of tropical children's surgical pathology. Not every surgeon could afford the luxury of using a laparoscope to view the opposite inguinal opening when performing a simple herniotomy, especially when more than one case is operated on in the day-surgery unit. Could this give rise to medicolegal problems as this is not routine practice in this country?

In this edition, a few chapters from the previous one have been rightly excluded as many paediatric surgeons do not currently perform surgery for cleft lip and palate and complex hand deformities. In the next edition, however, the editors may wish to include a useful chapter on the management of adhesion obstruction, a common surgical emergency seen in childhood. With increasing incidence of HIV and hepatitis infections, it might also be helpful to include a paragraph or two in the general section I of the book. There is an increasing demand for evidence-based medicine. Could a book on operative surgery be fully evidence-based rather than experience-based?

The most obvious change, though, is in terms of presentation. This edition makes significant use of color in the schematics and anatomical artwork, sees the introduction of operative photographs and, most appositely, includes a bank of reference videos, which we hope will aid understanding while demonstrating real life in the operating room.

Introduction: Hypospadias is a developmental anomaly characterized by a urethral meatus that opens onto the ventral surface of the penis proximal to the end of the glans. Hypospadias occurs in 1 in 125 live male births. Classically, three abnormalities are found in the hypospadias penis: (1) an ectopic opening of the urethral meatus at the ventral surface; (2) a ventral curvature of the penis (chordee); (3) a hooded foreskin on the dorsum of the penis with a lack of skin on the ventral due to a V-shaped defect referred to as urethral delta. There are anterior (65%), middle (15%), and posterior penile hypospadias (20%). Objective: The objective of surgical repair of hypospadias is to provide complete straightening of the penis, placing the meatus at the tip of the glans, forming a symmetrical conical-shaped glans, and constructing a neo-urethra uniform in caliver and acceptable skin coverage. Materials and Methods: This is a cross-sectional, descriptive, observational study conducted in the Department of Pediatric Surgery, Dhaka Medical College & Hospital, Dhaka, Bangladesh, from 1 January 2009 to 30 June 2010. The total number of cases is 50. Patients having anterior penile hypospadias were selected by simple random sampling. The mean age of the patients was 5.22 years (2 to 10 years). Surgical correction was done using the Snodgrass technique. The mean operative time was 90 minutes and the postoperative hospital stay was 10 days. Results: Satisfactory results were obtained in 35 (70%) patients, and only 14 (28%) had urethrocutaneous fistula, wound infection was developed in 5 (10%) patients, and two (4%) patients had meatal stenosis. The outcome was evaluated based on urethrocutaneous fistula, meatal stenosis, and cosmesis. Of 50 patients, 35 (70%) had no urethrocutaneous fistula and the results were cosmetically acceptable. Conclusion: Early detection and correction are essential to minimize the complications and lessen the psychological trauma of the patient. Therefore, a thorough examination of the neonates following delivery in different maternal and child care clinics is mandatory. Early and timely measures also give the best cosmetic and functional results. Thus, we should put all our efforts into achieving this goal. 2ff7e9595c
