Vous trouverez également des cartes pour aller aux différents hôpitaux où les chirurgies de la hernie sont effectuées (QEII, Windsor et Truro).
This pamphlet is a French translation of the English pamphlet 0592, "Hernia Surgery as an Outpatient". This pamphlet is about hernia surgeries. A hernia forms when an outer wall of muscle breaks open or tears. This allows organs (such as a loop of bowel or tissue) to fall through the opening. Different types of hernia surgery are described. Topics include what to expect before surgery, on the day of surgery and after surgery at home. Some after surgery topics include pain control, deep breathing and coughing exercises, foot and leg exercises, care of your incision, physical activity, meals, healing ridge, follow-up with your surgeon and a list of symptoms that need medical attention. Maps to the different locations where surgery is performed (QEII, Windsor and Truro) are provided.

Abstract
This volume provides a practical hands on guide to gastrointestinal physiology. The book emphasizes an appreciation of basic physiological concepts and their application to novel clinical situations. It exposes the physician-in-training to fundamental principles that are useful in treating patients and lays the groundwork for more advanced study in the future. The authors present relevant cases which incorporate newer adult learning strategies in medical education. These cases provide a forum in which the student can apply acquired knowledge, skills and attitudes. Connections are made to reader's life, whether in the classroom, on the wards or out and about town. Designed for medical students who are studying gastrointestinal physiology for the first time, Gastrointestinal Physiology: A Clinical Approach provides a superb review for upper level medical students and house officers. Nursing and allied health professions students will also find this text to be a useful guide. GI fellows and attending physicians in need of a concise review of fundamental GI physiology principles will also benefit from reading this book.
Contents
Clinical Gastrointestinal Physiology: A Systems Approach -- Form and Function: The Physiological Implications of the Anatomy of the Gastrointestinal System -- Brain-Gut Axis and Regional Gastrointestinal Tract Motility -- Gastrointestinal Secretion: Aids in Digestion and Absorption -- Physiology of the Liver, Gallbladder and Pancreas: "Getting By" with Some Help from Your Friends -- Nutrient Exchange: Matching Digestion and Absorption -- Salt and Water: Intestinal Water and Electrolyte Transport -- Gastrointestinal Manometry: Tales of the Intrepid Transducer.

Most ingested foreign bodies pass through the gastrointestinal tract without a problem. However, both ingested and inserted foreign bodies may cause serious complications, such as bowel obstruction or perforation. Foreign body aspiration is common in children, especially those under 3 years of age, and in these cases chest radiography and CT are the main imaging modalities.

Abstract
Most ingested foreign bodies pass through the gastrointestinal tract without a problem. However, both ingested and inserted foreign bodies may cause serious complications, such as bowel obstruction or perforation. Foreign body aspiration is common in children, especially those under 3 years of age, and in these cases chest radiography and CT are the main imaging modalities. This textbook provides a thorough overview of the critical role of diagnostic imaging in the assessment of patients with suspected foreign body ingestion, aspiration, or insertion. A wide range of scenarios are covered, from the common problem of foreign body ingestion or aspiration in children and mentally handicapped adults through to drug smuggling by body packing and gunshot wounds. Guidance is offered on diagnostic protocols, and the value of different imaging modalities in different situations is explained. Helpful management tips are also provided.
Contents
Plain film and MDCT assessment of neck foreign bodies -- Tracheobronchial foreign bodies -- Foreign bodies of the gastrointestinal tract -- Intra-abdominal foreign bodies: gossypiboma and abdominal wall meshes -- Abdominal compartment syndrome due to hepatic packing -- Intravascular foreign bodies -- Foreign bodies as complications of biliary stents and gastrointestinal stents -- Intravascular foreign bodies -- Foreign bodies as complications of endovascular devices -- Retained intracranial and intraspinal foreign bodies -- Role of magnetic resonance imaging in diagnosing foreign bodies -- Soft tissue foreign bodies -- Foreign bodies and penetrating injuries.
