This textbook provides insightful perspectives on the current state and future of digital surgery. It defines the field as encompassing the application of artificial intelligence, computer vision, and automation in robotic-assisted surgery, aiming to digitally define the patient and the surgical task to operate based on information rather than solely on anatomic planes.
This comprehensive review analyzes the use of pneumatic retinopexy (PR) for retinal detachments, outlining indications (primarily uncomplicated detachments with superior breaks) and basic surgical steps, including retinopexy and intraocular gas injection. It presents updated outcomes from 1986 to 2008 for 4,138 eyes, showing a single-operation success rate of 74.4% and a final anatomical success rate of 96.1%, confirming that initial PR does not disadvantage final outcomes compared to scleral buckling. The review also extensively discusses associated complications.
A detailed chapter covering Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH), analyzing its embryological origins, the five structures from which the diaphragm is derived, etiology, incidence (1 in 2000 live births), pathology (focusing on Bochdalek and Morgagni hernias), associated complications like pulmonary hypoplasia and pulmonary hypertension, and clinical presentation.
A comprehensive foundational textbook introducing the essential concepts, basic anatomy, pathology, and clinical principles required for the study and practice of ophthalmic medicine and surgery.
This book analyzes Pancreaticobiliary Maljunction (PBM), a congenital malformation where pancreatic and bile ducts join outside the duodenal wall. It discusses the resulting reciprocal reflux between pancreatic juice and bile, which leads to various pathologic conditions such as biliary cancer and pancreatitis.
