In the first part, you'll find the essentials on biliary lithiasis and its management: from the fundamental chapters to those on treatment, via those developing the various possible diagnostic phases, readers are provided with a general, exhaustive approach of high scientific quality, up-to-date to meet the demands and constraints of everyday life.
The second part, dedicated to the evaluation of practices, looks at medical and surgical approaches to biliary lithiasis in France, through two studies. The first analyses some 800 responses from visceral and digestive surgeons on diagnostic and surgical practices, as well as treatment intentions for the various clinicopathological forms of biliary lithiasis. The second, based on a national retrospective study, assesses the diagnostic and therapeutic management of main bile duct lithiasis over a recent period in several French centers.
Comprehensive and up-to-date, this book will be an indispensable source of information for professionals in visceral, digestive and endocrine surgery departments.
