Features: This book describes surgical procedures for treating gastrointestinal diseases. However, the author has always been convinced that a surgical atlas should not be limited to anatomical descriptions alone but should also include clinical features, surgical techniques, intraoperative diagnosis, and surgical indications. It has been proven that the success of a surgery depends not only on surgical skills but also on other factors, such as the stage of the disease, the timing of the surgery, and the choice of surgical approach. Therefore, surgeons should carefully consider these factors, as they may play a significant role in reducing complications. The illustrations were completed by the highly skilled artist Carlos A. Vescovo. The representative and highly persuasive diagrams presented are the result of close collaboration between the author and the artist. These illustrations were drawn directly in the operating room and then processed and refined to be more representative, clearer, and easier to teach. This atlas is useful for general surgeons and gastrointestinal surgeons, as well as colorectal surgeons and advanced surgeons who require uncommon surgical techniques.
