abstract: The monograph embraces high number of Bulgarian, Russian, English, American, German, etc. literature sources by most distinguished surgeons--scientists and lecturers, as well as proper long- year operative, scientific and tuition experience. The author treats 93 topics of the abdominal surgery. They are presented in accessible manner with emphasis laid on the most essential, necessary for the favourable outcome of the operation. Therapeutic results are reported, comparable to the best, published by internationally renowned authors. Many single and group illustrations--drawings and photos--are applied. The problems of abdominal surgery are discussed in accessible manner for physicians (specialisilising surgery, internal diseases, anaesthesiology, urology and orthopaedics) and scientific workers, as well as for medical nurses, rehabilitators and kinesitherapeutists. The trend emerges for organ-sparing reconstructive operations, etio-pathogenetically expedient, with biologic adaption of the patients, but also extended blockoperations and simultaneous operations in synchronic diseases.
