9Preface
In this volume of Recent Advances in Surgery, I have attempted to include topics in which there have been recent major changes involving patient care. Each subject has been written by experts in the field and provides an up-to-date review designed to be of value to surgeons taking professional examinations in General Surgery. I also hope that the issues covered will be of practical interest to all surgeons wishing to keep abreast of changes within the broad field of General Surgery.
The general themes include a review of modern day surgical training, the importance of confidential reporting systems in surgical practice, an update on the use of intravenous fluids and the important issue of the management of knife injuries.
Concepts relating to gastrointestinal surgery include the management of gastric cancer, gastroesophageal reflux, resectability in pancreatic cancer, management of synchronous colorectal liver metastases, enhanced recovery following colorectal resection, the use of robotics, and anal fistula management. Other specialist topics include modern prostate cancer management, phyllodes tumour of the breast, the management of varicose veins and superficial venous incompetence. The volume concludes with a review of recent randomised controlled trials in surgery.
I hope readers agree that this volume maintains the high standards of previous editions. I am most grateful to all our contributors for taking the time to provide comprehensive reviews of each topic.
