In this thoroughly revisedsecond edition of the frequently downloaded manual, The SAGES Manual of Quality, Outcomes, and Patient Safety. A panel of experts update and expand their survey of the many factors that influence quality in the world of surgery, surgical outcomes, and threats to patient safety. Among the highlights include a section devoted to threats to quality and outcomes and safety, such as surgeon wellness and burnout, disruptive behavior, second victims, the surgeon with declining skills, and maintaining quality in the setting of a crisis. Another all-new section focuses on surgical controversies, such as whether or not to use robotic surgical technology and whether or not it influences surgical outcomes; whether or not routine cholangiography reduces the common bile duct injury rate; whether or not having a consistent operating room team influences surgical outcomes, and whether a conflict of interest truly influences surgical quality. Further, this manual updates chapters on surgical simulation, teamwork and team training, teleproctoring, mentoring, and error analysis.State-of-the-art and readily accessible, The SAGES Manual of Quality, Outcomes, and Patient Safety, Second Edition will offer physicians strategies to maintain surgical quality in a rapidly changing practice environment the tools they require to succeed.

Fluorescence-guided surgery (FGS) is defined as a medical imaging technique that uses a fluorescent dye or a near-infrared emitting light source to identify anatomic structures during surgical procedures. In 2020 alone, over 1200 academic articles were published on the topic of fluorescence-guidance surgery, a sign that this modality is making significant inroads into surgical practice. The use of near-infrared imaging and FGS is a rapidly growing modality, allowing surgeons to see more intraoperatively, enhance surgical precision, and improve surgical decision-making and patient outcomes. This manual provides a comprehensive, state-of-the art review of this field and will serve as a valuable resource for clinicians, surgeons and researchers with an interest in fluorescence-guided surgery, guiding patient management and stimulating investigative efforts. After initial chapters discussing the history of FGS and the current platforms and devices, it presents the most up-to-date data regarding the use of FGS in multiple surgical fields - colorectal, hepatic, endocrine, reconstructive, pediatric, among others - as well as in the treatment of specific conditions such as burns. Chapters are generously illustrated with full-color figures and intraoperative photographs, and selected chapters include video segments. Access to a comprehensive resource such as this is currently limited by the relatively new inroads that fluorescence-guided technology has made into surgery. The SAGES Manual of Fluorescence-Guided Surgery fills this gap in the literature. .

The biggest buzz in the facial and body lifting beautification and rejuvenation category is by far around mini-invasive scarless techniques. They are presented by suture and thread lifts. Both suture and thread lift techniques have many unique properties. For example, young patients do not want to be scarred with classic open face liftings. Also, for Asians, Afro-Americans, and Latino-Americans, who have higher percentage of keloids, these are the preferred non-scarring cosmetic surgery methods. Scarless mini-invasive lifting techniques, such as suture and thread lifts, need proper explanation and public access. This will be the first scientific book that could clear the false public belief that transcutaneous suture and thread lifts are one and the same method.
