Experimental surgery is an important link for the development in clinical surgery, research and teaching. Experimental surgery was part of the most important surgical discoveries in the past century. Since 1901 nine Nobel Prizes have been awarded to the pioneers had remarkable achievements in the basic or practical surgery. In recent 20 years, experimental surgery has achieved new advances, like laparoscopic and robotic surgery, tissue engineering, and gene therapy which are widely applied in clinic surgery.

The present book covers wide experimental surgery in preclinical research models subdivided in two volumes. Volume I introduces surgical basic notions, techniques, and different surgical models involved in basic experimental surgery and review the biomechanical models, ischemia/reperfusion injury models, repair and regeneration models, and organ and tissue transplantation models, respectively. Volume II introduces several specific experimental models such as laparoscopic and bariatric experimental surgical models. The second volume also introduces graft-versus-host disease, and other experimental models. Review the advances and development of recent techniques such as tissue engineering, organ preservation, wound healing and scarring, gene therapy and robotic surgery. The book documents the enormous volume of knowledge we have acquired in the field of experimental surgery.

In this book, we have invited experts from the United States, Canada, France, Germany, China, Japan, Korea, UK, Sweden, Netherland, Hungary and Turkey to contribute 36 chapters in the fields of their expertise. These two volumes are the compilation of basic experimental surgery and updated advances of new development in this field that will be invaluable to surgeons, residents, graduate students, surgical researchers, physicians, immunologists, veterinarians and nurses in surgery.

Reviews

“The current book presents extensive experimental surgery in preclinical research models subdivided into two volumes. Volume I introduces surgical basic notions, technique, and different surgical models involved in basic experimental surgery and a review of the biomechanical models, ischemia/reperfusion models, repair and regeneration models, and organ and tissue transplantation models, respectively. Volume II introduces several specific experimental models such as laparoscopic and bariatric experimental surgical models, graft-versus-host disease, tissue engineering, organ preservation, wound healing and scarring, gene therapy and robotic surgery. I congratulate the authors in producing two admirable volumes in experimental surgery.” – Prof. Xian C. Li, M.D., Ph.D., Cornell University, New York, USA

Stepkowski, PhD. Toledo University, USA

“This book of two volumes is a compilation of basic experimental surgery and updated advances of new development in this field that will be invaluable for any experimental laboratory. This book is well-written, comprehensive, and worth reading. For everybody working in this field or interested in experimental surgery, these volumes will be essential additions on their book shelf.” – Prof. Antonio Di Cataldo, MD., University of Catania, Italy

“In this book, editors invited specialists from 12 countries to contribute 36 chapters in the fields of their expertise. These two volumes cover advanced experimental surgical procedures and innovations in this field. The readers of this book can apply these procedures to, not only develop increasingly practical techniques, but also to apply these new issues to biomedical research. I applaud the authors in producing a praiseworthy book.” – Prof. Louis Dumont, PhD., University of Montreal, Canada

“Advances in Experimental Surgery is a very valuable and multifaceted review of the contributions of the experimental laboratory to the progress in clinic. These two volumes involve experimental surgery, describe recent advances in experimental surgery of preclinical research and clinical practice. It is an excellent reference book to train young generations of medical scientists in surgery.” – Prof. Pierre Daloze, MD., FRCSC., University of Montreal, Canada.
