    Summary: Chronic venous disorders are a major health problem due to their wide prevalence and socio-economic considerations. This book is a comprehensive manual providing state- of- the- art information on the diagnosis and management of these common problems. Till recently venous disorders have been getting secondary attention as compared to their arterial counterpart. However, the last two decades witnessed major technological advancements and therapeutic strategies for these problems. Written with a surgical perspective, this monograph covers the latest developments and recommended procedures in an easy-to-read format guiding the surgeon to prepare a rational treatment plan. Supplemented with numerous figures and illustrations, the chapters update the readers with how to evaluate such patients in their practices, selection criteria for appropriate procedures and how to manage the complications. The book includes basics of venous disorders, primary varicose veins and recurrence after surgery, chronic venous insufficiency, venous ulcers and congenital venous malformations. Detailed coverage of endo-venous procedures such as radio-frequency ablation, laser ablation and foam sclerotherapy are additional essential features of this book. Primarily intended for the practicing general surgeon, this volume is also relevant for residents in general surgery and vascular surgery.

    Forty-six cases of upper gastrointestinal haemorrhage examined during three years have been revised. The patients were 39 men and 7 women, from 22 to 73 years old: twenty-six of them were first examined by endoscopic technique, while in the other twenty-ones the first examination was a bariummeal X-ray. All the twenty-six patients of the first group were examined within 48 hours from admission to hospital while the twenty patients of the second group could be examined not before the third day from admission. The evaluation of our results has confirmed an overt superiority of endoscopic versus radiologic technique, mainly in detecting non-ulcerative mucosal alterations responsible of bleeding.
