Features: Since the publication of "Diagnostic and Differential Diagnosis of Abdominal Surgery" in August 1984, it has been appreciated by readers and has made modest contributions to clinical practice and teaching in general surgery. In recent ten years or more, surgery has continued to advance. Although symptoms and signs in diagnosis and differential diagnosis have not changed much, there have been some changes and new insights in the etiology, pathogenesis, and incidence of individual conditions. Additionally, significant progress has been made in laboratory tests and imaging examinations. Therefore, in this revised edition, laboratory tests, endoscopic examinations, abdominal X-ray examinations, B-ultrasound examinations, CT examinations, magnetic resonance examinations, positron emission tomography, angiography, and radioactive isotope examinations of abdominal surgical diseases are elaborated in separate chapters. Furthermore, new chapters and sections have been added, such as adhesive peritoneal disease, omental torsion, retroperitoneal hematoma, and fibrosis, as well as Caroli's disease.
