This is a superb book. The artwork quality alone is the best I have seen in any atlas in years. I really appreciate that there is a condensed video that goes with each procedure. The narration is particularly helpful in understanding what is being done at every step of the operation. I have been studying for my general surgery recertification, and the text descriptions of each procedure clearly point out the important evaluation, workup and mechanics of the major general surgical operations. One of the most helpful chapters for me was on hernia repair, particularly the illustrations of the inguinal region. This is probably the best I have seen. Although I do not perform bariatric procedures, I found the chapters on hiatal herniorrhaphy and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass beautifully illustrated with drawings and photographs that complemented the videos. The artist of this book deserves kudos.
After five years as a practicing trauma/critical care surgeon I have recently decided to undergo further training in advanced minimally invasive surgery. Starting this new fellowship required a solid advanced reference in the practice and technique of laparoscopic surgery.Not only does Dr. Frantzides book provide excellent text in the principles of minimally invasive surgery, but vivid photographs and actual DVD footage of the procedure described in each chapter. The narrative and video are an invaluable resource in grasping the concepts of advanced and basic laparoscopic procedures. I highly recommend it to any practicing surgeon or resident.
I am a laparoscopic fellowship trained general surgeon, and I bought this book about six months ago. It is one of a kind, the text alone is cutting edge, but you throw in live narrated surgeries and it makes it a masterpiece. Any time I have a big case I watch the corresponding video and read the text the night before, and it is the equivlant to a dress rehersal, I know of no other atlas's like it. I carry it with me everywhere. I highly reccomend this atlas for medical students, residents, fellows and attendings.
I am a Physician who recently had LAP Gastric Bypass. I bought this book as I wanted to understand my surgery and the post OP course. It's so well written I found myself reading about other surgeries. It's clear and concise and the videos are well done and informative. The post OP data on my LGB was state of the art and consistent with all of the most up to date literature. The synthesis of the info was great.I would highly reccomend this book.
