| cpt for low anterior resection: The ASCRS Textbook of Colon and Rectal Surgery Scott R. Steele, Tracy L. Hull, Thomas E. Read, Theodore J. Saclarides, Anthony J. Senagore, Charles B. Whitlow, 2016-03-24 This third edition text provides a completely revised and updated new version of this unique, modern, practical text that covers the strategic evaluation, specific approaches, and detailed management techniques utilized by expert colorectal surgeons caring for patients with complex problems–whether they result from underlying colorectal disease or from complications arising from previous surgical therapy. The format follows that of both a “how to” manual as well as an algorithm-based guide to allow the reader to understand the thought process behind the proposed treatment strategy. By making use of evidence-based recommendations, each chapter includes not only background information and diagnostic/therapeutic guidelines, but also provides a narrative by the author on his/her operative technical details and perioperative “tips and tricks” that they utilize in the management of these complex surgical challenges. Distinctive to this book, is the reliance on experts in the field including past presidents of the ASCRS, as well as multiple other national and internationally recognized surgeons, to lend their personal insight into situations where data may be more sparse, but individual and collective experience is paramount to making sound decisions and thereby optimizing patient outcomes. The text includes chapters on the assessment of risk and methods utilized to minimize perioperative complications. In addition, it incorporates sections covering the medical and surgical therapies for abdominal, pelvic and anorectal disease. Moreover, the technical challenges of managing complications resulting from the original or subsequent operations is addressed. The underlying focus throughout the text is on providing pragmatic and understandable solutions that can be readily implemented by surgeons of varying experience to successfully treat complex colorectal problems. However, it also goes beyond the technical aspects of colorectal surgery and includes special sections highlighting the essence of a surgeon; covering aspects involving the medical-legal, ethical, and economic challenges confronting surgeons. Throughout the text, each author provides an ongoing narrative of his/her individual surgical techniques along with illustrations and diagrams to “personally” take the reader through the crucial steps of the procedure, and key points of patient care inherent to that topic. Additionally, where appropriate, links to online videos give the reader an up-front look into technical aspects of colorectal surgery. |
| cpt for low anterior resection: Manual of Pathologic Grossing Ashley Illingworth, 2024-11-26 This textbook is a step-by-step, at the bench, real-world approach to grossing a wide variety of surgical cases. Each figure is produced directly from the bench during the grossing process with the associated dictation. These specimens contain the imperfections of real-life cases with ample illustrations drawn by renown medical illustrationist Kyle Cunningham. This book is not a bullet-point list of what to do but rather a step-by-step, illustrated approach to grossing each specimen. This manual can be utilized at the bench with any specimen at any time. Key features include step-by-step photographic documentation of optimal methods for handling gross specimens commonly seen in the pathology laboratory, medical illustrations that highlight key anatomic features, and tips and tricks to produce optimal diagnostic sections for pathologic diagnosis. Each chapter also includes multiple choice questions to help apply the knowledge and skills learned in the readings. This text is not just a reference manual. It is a deliberative teaching manual meant to be taken into the lab and used at the bench providing consultative support. The text is specifically focused on pathology residents learning grossing skills when no one is around to answer questions. Currently, there are four main surgical grossing texts on the market. Those texts contain drawings and characterizations of the perfect organ and a list of sections needed for each specimen. These books do not focus on the methodology for taking the most appropriate sections with a focus on handling imperfect specimens. Manual of Pathologic Grossing is the only text that includes photographs of each step in the grossing process. The photos are accompanied by a step-by-step text of demonstrating how and why each section was taken. |
| cpt for low anterior resection: Principles of Coding and Reimbursement for Surgeons Mark Savarise, Christopher Senkowski, 2016-12-30 This text provides the in-depth understanding of the mechanisms that guide coding and reimbursement. The text is meant to be useful to surgeons in practice, both in general surgery and in surgical subspecialties; practice management teams of surgical practices and to resident physicians in surgery. Part 1 of the text addresses the CPT coding process, the relative valuation system (RVU), the ICD-9 and ICD-10 systems of classification, Medicare Part B payment rules for physicians, the DRG system and Medicare Part A payment for hospitals, alternative payment models, and the myriad of quality measures of importance to surgeons. Part 2 of the text addresses specific coding in areas where surgeons historically have had the most difficulty. This is not meant to substitute for the available texts, software or courses on coding, but to provide the historical background and rationale for the specific coding rules. Principles of Coding and Reimbursement for Surgeons will be of great value to general surgeons and surgical subspecialists in private practice, academic institutions, and employed positions. It will provide direction to management teams from practice and institutional levels. It is also of use to surgical trainees and to researchers in health policy issues. |
| cpt for low anterior resection: Chassin's Operative Strategy in General Surgery Carol E. H. Scott-Conner, Andreas M. Kaiser, Ninh T. Nguyen, Umut Sarpel, Sonia L. Sugg, 2022-05-28 This fifth edition of Chassin's Operative Strategy in General Surgery is a major revision that strives to remain faithful to the purpose and tone of Dr. Chassin’s original text. This unique textbook provides an emphasis on surgical strategy that is unmatched by other textbooks of surgical technique. The text explains the conceptual basis of each operation, outlines strategies to avoid common pitfalls, and carefully describes and beautifully illustrates the technical steps of each operation. The fifth edition preserves the unique qualities of its previous edition while providing a comprehensive update. This updated volume also features a vast amount of richly detailed artwork and operative photographs, which help depict operative techniques step-by-step. No other text so successfully combines operative technique with the concept of strategy – that is, key governing principles that dictate safe surgery and avoidance of complications. There are books of technique, there are books about complications, and there are books about the rationale involved in the treatment of various kinds of surgical pathology. Chassin’s combines all three. Chassin’s Operative Strategy in General Surgery: An Expositive Atlas Fifth Edition comprehensively covers all non-vascular operations commonly performed by general surgeons. This edition expands this comprehensive general surgery reference while remaining true to the special character of the work. The revision expands upon procedures not covered in the previous edition and incorporates new techniques into many other chapters. |

| cpt for low anterior resection: Surgical Management of Colorectal Pathologies Peter C. Ambe, Selman Sokmen, Michail Karanikas, 2025-05-13 Colorectal surgery encompasses the diagnosis and management of disorders of the lower gastrointestinal tract (GIT) and secondary organs. Our knowledge on both benign and malignant diseases is constantly evolving and the complexity of many disorders in the lower gastrointestinal tract warrants a multidisciplinary approach to achieve the best possible outcome for our patients. Keeping with an evolving field with regard to advancements in diagnosis, management and follow-up is of paramount importance in providing up to date patient care. This implies that there is need of a continuous update of medical literature. It is therefore our belief, that care providers in every discipline should contribute to maintaining and updating the medical literature in their respective field of expertise. Contributing to medical literature is the first step in creating medical evidence. This, in our eyes, should not be a privilege reserved for selected experts. With this in mind, we are inviting you to participate in the upcoming special issue on “colorectal surgery”. |
