Over the past two decades, significant advancements have been made in the field of gastrointestinal (GI) surgery, encompassing imaging, endoscopy, and laparoscopy. GI surgery, as a specialized sub-specialty within general surgery, has witnessed remarkable improvements in outcomes through the expertise of high-volume centers. Surgeons now possess the capability to perform complex procedures with remarkably low morbidity and mortality rates, leading to significantly improved overall results. This comprehensive volume offers detailed and up-to-date information on various diseases affecting the mesentery, omentum, peritoneum, and retroperitoneum, as well as abdominal trauma.

While diseases and trauma in this area may often be overlooked in traditional teaching, with limited resources available for clinical decision-making, they can pose significant challenges even for the most experienced surgeons. A thorough understanding of anatomy, physiology, and pathology is essential in managing patients with these conditions successfully.

The book provides comprehensive coverage of a wide range of conditions and traumas, including a final chapter dedicated to abdominal surgery during the COVID-19 pandemic. Written and edited by international experts in the field, this book serves as a valuable resource for abdominal, peritoneum, and retroperitoneum surgeons, trainees, general surgeons, researchers, and medical students.
