Surgery · Clinical Specialties
How it begins
Tratado clínico-quirúrgico integral sobre la patología esofágica. Desde los fundamentos microanatómicos y la fisiología motora de alta resolución, hasta el abordaje detallado de la esofaguectomía oncológica triincisional, la miotomía de Heller, el manejo de perforaciones agudas y la implementación de protocolos de recuperación acelerada.
