ABSTRACT
The standard techniques of intra-abdominal surgery and the classical intestinal operations have been described in the preceding chapters. There is often a range of surgical solutions available and the ability to choose the most suitable procedure increases with the surgeon’s experience. Most frequently, surgeons choose the most appropriate of the classical operations relevant to the situation, but they should not be afraid of adaptations and modifications to standard procedures. It is extremely important, however, that any modifications are made within the framework of sound surgical principles.
