Summary: "As part of the growing and well-known series, Master Techniques in Surgery, edited by Dr. Fischer, this book focuses on esophageal surgery. These specialty volumes complement the well-known Mastery of Surgery book, also edited by Dr. Fischer. While there are many standard textbooks in general surgery, thoracic surgery, and some on esophageal surgery, this book is unique in that it focuses on the technical aspects of esophageal surgery. Esophageal surgery is complex, and this textbook, which is entirely devoted to surgery of the esophagus, should serve as a useful complement to some of the existing comprehensive textbooks in esophageal, general and thoracic surgery, as well as serve as link between a classical textbook and an atlas"-- Provided by publisher.
