Publication
The publication is part of the three-volume series concerning the major
pathologies facing surgeons working in emergency situations - Emergenze
toraciche, Emergenze addominali, Emergenze vascolari.
The practical and multi-disciplinary nature of the volume sets out diagnostic
and therapeutic procedures for the principal cases of emergency. Medical
diagnosis and treatment are also dealt with if these are considered supportive
of surgical intervention.
“Emergenze addominali” treats all the causes of and eventualities
in acute problems of the abdomen, from examples such as peritonitis or
intestinal blockages to acute pseudo-abdomen, inflammatory illnesses or
ventral hernia. Ample space is dedicated to the problems of diagnosis
(instrumental, laparoscopic), anaesthetics and intensive care, as well
as complications and further surgery. A specific chapter deals with the
multiple eventualities which can occur in children.
The Appendix presents flow charts referring to the principal subjects
contained in the volume, making rapid consultation easier.
