Part of a series of multimedia surgical teaching tools edited by Dr. Rosser, of Yale University School of Medicine, this provides interactive, hands-on training in Nissen fundoplication from a laparoscopic perspective. Detailed video/still images of anatomical structures familiarise the user with the stepped procedures of each stage of operation, while Room Set-up demonstrates the correct orientation of surgical/visualisation equipment and surgical personnel. The Procedure section walks users through all phases of the operation, also allowing jumps to another phase out of sequence for independent review. Indications/contraindications are discussed, as are complications. Finally, specific to this program are a comprehensive overview of the pathophysiology of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and the medical management procedures for its treatment, as well as the evolution of several fundoplication procedures.
Each powerful CD-ROM includes:
* Narrated full-color video detailing each step * Expert commentary on potential pitfalls, technical pointers and tips, and other invaluable first-hand advice * All pertinent anatomic structures clearly depicted * Recommended OR set-ups * Clear guidelines on indications and contraindications * Up-to-date bibliographies * Handy menu selections for easy navigation * Pace defined by user * For both Windows and Macintosh
Each CD-ROM in the series features engaging interactive design, incorporating 3-D images and animation, video and audio, creating a virtual operating room for the user. Detailed video/still images of anatomical structures familiarize the user with the stepped procedures of each stage of operation.
