I would like to dedicate this book to my parents Mrs. Heena C. Thakkar and Dr. C.J. Thakkar for their dedicated upbringing and commitment towards excellence in life. I would also like to dedicate the book to my wife Dr. Rashmi S. Thakkar and my children Sahuri and Shaarav who have provided me with untiring support, love and patience. Without these individuals, I would not be where I am today! Savyasachi C. Thakkar, MD This book is dedicated to my beloved father Dr. Giorgio Hasenboehler, who passed years ago of cancer, and to my mother Elfriede Hasenboehler, whom have always supported me and have fostered my passion for medicine and the surgical specialty. I also would like to acknowledge my love Ana Torregrosa for her infinite support, and last my dearest children Nikolas and Lukas to whom this book shall be an example of commitment to teaching, learning and dedication to a fulfilling profession.
