The SAGES Manual: Fundamentals of Laparoscopy, Thoracoscopy and GI Endoscopy

Book Description:
THE SAGES MANUAL: FUNDAMENTALS OF LAPAROSCOPY AND GI ENDOSCOPY is a classic in the making–a portable, concise, beautifully illustrated manual from the world’s pioneering society of minimally invasive surgery. This book provides an authoritative synopsis of the major laparoscopic and endoscopic procedures in easy-to-use, outline form. It is an absolutely must have reference for the general surgery resident on call or as a refresher before procedures. The laparoscopic section reviews the important basics of laparoscopic surgery, including equipment set up, access to the abdomen, generating and maintaining the working space, and the principles of laparoscopic hemostasis. All the major and emerging laparoscopic general surgery procedures are included and information on indications, patient preparation and position, and the step-by-step operative technique are featured for each operation. Topics include laparoscopic cholecystectomy, laparoscopic gastric surgery, diagnostic laparoscopy and biopsy, laparoscopic common bile duct exploration, laparoscopic hernia repair, and pediatric laparoscopy. The endoscopic section reviews gastrointestinal endoscopy for the general surgeon. A review of the general principles of flexible endoscopy features attributes of flexible scopes, equipment set up, scope handling and care of scopes, conscious sedation and monitoring, and post procedure management. Indications, patient preparation, and techniques are outlined for a wide variety of procedures including upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, small bowel enteroscopy, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, choledochoscopy, flexible sigmoidoscopy, colonoscopy, and pediatric endoscopy. Every laparoscopic and endoscopic procedure is followed by a section on the recognition and management of complications–a must-read resource for all general surgery residents and fellows. Over 175 illustrations elucidate the operative procedures, clearly indicate trocar placement, and explain the operative steps. As minimally invasive approaches join the mainstream of general surgery, The SAGES Manual is an integral component to the training of every general surgeon.

Ebook Review
I have hundreds of books and manuals on various techie subjects and Ellen's AutoCAD 2004 Bible ranks high on my list for books worth the purchase. I have used AutoCAD for years but after moving up to Acad 2005 from Acad 2000 I thought I could use some tutoring. The book didn't disappoint. For nearly every topic there is a step by step, hands-on, example that the reader can perform. There are around 160 drawing files on the accompanying CD; one for each example in the book. You can open that file in Acad and follow the steps in the book and experiment to your heart's content.
All in all, this book won't disappoint you like some I could mention. --By D. Harp (Greencastle, PA USA)
About the Author
Ellen Finkelstein learned AutoCAD in Israel, where she always got to pore over the manual because it was in English. After returning to the United States, she started consulting and teaching AutoCAD as well as other computer programs, including Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Ellen has written books on Word, Power-Point, and Flash (such as Flash MX For Dummies, published by Wiley). Her first book was AutoCAD For Dummies Quick Reference. You’re holding the fourth edition of this book, which previously appeared for AutoCAD releases 14, 2000, and 2002.

Overloading the Short-Hand Operators (+= and -=)

The short-hand addition (+=) and subtraction (-=) operators are very commonlyused and thus it would be nice if we overload them in classes. You would beglad to know that there is nothing new or special that needs to be done to achievethis, both the operators are overloaded as usual like other binary operators.
The short-hand operators combine the operation performed by two operators onethe addition or subtraction and the other the assignment. This is all it doesand this is all you need to know!
As nothing new has been introduced so we end the theory here and look at theexample:
// Program to illustrate the
// overloading of shorthand
// operators (+=, -=)
#include
class myclass
{
int a;
int b;
public:
myclass(int,int);
void show();
myclass operator+=(myclass);
myclass operator-=(myclass);
};
myclass::myclass(int x,int y)
{
a=x;
b=y;
};
void myclass::show()
{
cout<}
myclass myclass::operator+=(myclass ob)
{
a+=ob.a;
b+=ob.b;
// note this
return *this;
}
myclass myclass::operator-=(myclass ob)
{
a-=ob.a;
b-=ob.b;
// note this
return *this;
}
void main()
{
myclass ob1(10,20);
myclass ob2(100,200);
ob1+=ob2;
ob1.show();
// even this is possible
// because operator functions
// are retuning *this
ob2=ob1+=ob1;
ob2.show();
}
