Description
|
| This book covers the comprehensive management of cloacal malformations. These malformations are the most complex, variable malformations that pediatric surgical specialists manage. This book reviews this complicated topic in a combination of chapters which are presented in traditional textbook fashion, but it also includes detailed case presentations which demonstrate the application of the general principles to unique situations that surgeons will encounter. |
|
|
Purpose
|
| The purpose of the book is to provide pediatric general surgeons and the other surgeons and members of the care team with a detailed and comprehensive approach to the evaluation and management of these complex conditions. This includes the critical importance of a multi-disciplinary care team and includes important long-term follow-up and management. This book, with its worthy objective of a sole focus on the most complex of the anorectal malformation spectrum is unique and needed. |
|
|
Audience
|
| This book's audience is pediatric general surgeons and other surgeons who are part of the optimal team to care for these patients, including pediatric urologists, radiologists, neonatologists, gynecologists, nurses, and multiple other members of a multi-disciplinary team. This book is unique and meets the needs of the intended audience. The principal author is an internationally recognized expert in the field based on his extensive clinical experience, as well as publications and international efforts to improve the care of these patients. |
|
|
Features
|
| The book contains two parts. Part One is an overview that includes ten chapters organized in traditional fashion including the history of treatment of cloacal malformations, surgical reconstruction, neurosurgical implications, and preoperative assessment. Part Two contains 16 case studies. The case presentations selected to demonstrate how the principles are applied in unique situations, demonstrate the full range of variation in these malformations. The clinical scenarios demonstrate the range of variation and engage the reader in the complex decision making required in the care of these patients. |
|
|
Assessment
|
| This book is a very well-written and extremely important contribution to the care of these patients. Most books cover cloacal malformations as one small part of a chapter on anorectal malformations. This book, dedicated to the most complex of these patients, is the only comprehensive text providing an extensive review of cloacal malformations. |
