Volume 2 of the “Treatise on Endocrine Surgery” is the unique, indispensable collection in French of knowledge on adrenal, gastro-entero-pancreatic, and hepatic endocrine diseases and on multiple endocrine neoplasias.
The objective of this text is to address the vast and quickly evolving field of abdominal and retroperitoneal endocrine diseases in a clear, educational and synthetic manner. All of the chapters have been written by top medical-surgical specialists, making this the most up-to-date work in this field.
From students to practitioners and teachers, anyone can find here the answer to their diverse and complex questions: anatomy, pathophysiology, genetics, diagnostic and therapeutic strategy, indications and techniques of surgery, etc. This update of knowledge and practices in endocrine surgery was made possible by the dynamism of the network of the Francophone Association of Endocrine Surgery (AFCE), a global organisation of doctors and surgeons.
