The encyclopedic guide to the pancreas for practicing clinicians
and surgeons

In the past decade extraordinary developments in diagnostic and
therapeutic radiology and endoscopy have been coupled with major
advances in surgical techniques and basic sciences. As a result the
management of pancreatic disorders is now handled by a
multidisciplinary team. This book shows you how to achieve superior
patient management by taking the team approach to in-hospital
care.

Fully revised and updated, this new edition of The Pancreas:
An Integrated Textbook of Basic Science, Medicine and Surgery
details the latest knowledge on genetics and molecular biological
background in terms of anatomy, physiology, pathology, and
pathophysiology for all known pancreatic disorders. The Editor and
author team are leading pancreatologists of high international
repute and they present global best-practice and evidence-based
knowledge in this comprehensive reference.

A timely section on early and late outcome data considers the
benefits of management including chemotherapy and immune therapy.
Incorporating evidence-based data, the book also focuses on early
diagnosis, limited surgical treatment, oncology, treatment results
and the option of transplantation.

This new edition contains more than 400 illustrations, line
drawings and radiographs to provide a step-by-step approach to
endoscopic techniques and surgical procedures. With The
Pancreas: An Integrated Textbook of Basic Science, Medicine
and Surgery, Second Edition, you can achieve a greater
understanding of current diagnostic, medical and surgical treatment
principles in one authoritative reference point.
