Abstract

Longmire, called it a "hostile" organ because it welcomes malignant cells and sepsis so warmly, bleeds so copiously, and is often the ?rst organ to be injured in blunt abdominal trauma. To balance these negative factors, the liver has two great attributes: its ability to regenerate after massive loss of substance, and its ability, in many cases, to forgive insult. This book covers a wide spectrum of topics including, history of liver surgery, surgical anatomy of the liver, techniques of liver resection, benign and malignant liver tumors, portal hypertension, and liver trauma. Some important topics were covered in more than one chapter like liver trauma, portal hypertension and pediatric liver tumors.

Abstract

In breast reconstruction, flap based procedures and implant based procedures are the two major modalities that have emerged as surgical options for patients. These are both continuing to evolve as new, innovative techniques help to improve outcomes and patient satisfaction. This book is divided into four sections. The first section includes overviews of mastectomy options and considerations in breast reconstruction procedure selection. The next section comprises non microsurgical reconstruction options which include implant based reconstruction refinements, the emerging role of fat grafting, and a novel technique of robotic latissimus flap harvesting. The third section is devoted to microsurgical reconstruction including flap refinements, tips and tricks, as well as advice on handling difficult situations. The final section includes the growing field of lymphedema surgery which is an important addition to breast reconstruction.

Abstract

Entscheidungshilfe für schwierige intraoperative Situationen Jedes intraoperative Problem, das zu einem erhöhten Risiko für intra- und postoperative Komplikationen führen kann, wird als schwierige intraoperative Situation bezeichnet.   Der Chirurg steht dann vor der Entscheidung, ob er die Operation wie geplant fortführt oder eine alternative Lösung sucht. Bewährte technische Varianten für die wichtigsten gastrointestinalen Operationsindikationen zeigt dieses Buch:   -        Experten für die jeweilige Operation stellen ihr Procedere Schritt für Schritt in Wort und Bild dar, -        das Vorgehen in schwierigen intraoperativen Situationen findet besondere Berücksichtigung, -        der Kontext für die Anwendung der Varianten wird für jede Indikation herausgearbeitet, -        offene und laparoskopische Operationen sind gleichermaßen aufgenommen.   Eine neu entwickelte Klassifikation der intraoperativen Schwierigkeiten wird für die einzelnen Indikationen konkretisiert und schärft vorab den Blick für mögliche intraoperative Probleme. Hinweise auf Haftpflichtfragen und die gutachterliche Einschätzung der Verfahrensvarianten runden die Darstellung ab.   Ein breites operatives Repertoire bahnt den Weg zur individualisierten Chirurgie.

Abstract

In many centers of excellence in Urology, robotic prostatectomy has become the first choice for the surgical treatment of localized prostate cancer owing to benefits such as reduced pain and minimization of impotence and incontinence. This atlas, specifically designed for use by surgeons, provides a beautifully illustrated, step-by-step guide to all aspects of the procedure. The various techniques that can be employed to achieve excellent oncological and functional results are carefully depicted in appropriate detail; for example, nerve-sparing techniques, bladder neck reconstruction, and approaches aimed at the early restoration of continence are clearly described. Special situations, such as prior prostate surgery, a large prostate, and salvage prostatectomy, are also fully covered. The information contained in this atlas will be of great value in enabling surgeons to improve their results and to take full advantage of the benefits of robotic prostatectomy compared with open prostatectomy.

Abstract

With the introduction of new post-graduate Medical training in the UK, virtually all doctors will be exposed to some form of surgical training prior to specialization. Many of these doctors will have little exposure to surgical emergencies in medical school. Thus, they may unnecessarily refer to a senior doctor when not needed, or catastrophically neglect a patient needing urgent surgical opinion.   Surgical Emergencies in Clinical Practice is a compact resource which allows any clinician, without previous surgical knowledge, to be able to make an accurate diagnosis and have a treatment plan for the whole spectrum of surgical emergencies. The essential steps of initial management of all surgical emergencies is outlined in a manner that can be used on a day-to-day basis for clinical management.   Written by experts in the field, Surgical Emergencies in Clinical Practice is a valuable tool for all junior doctors and medical students in the UK, Europe, Asia and North America. It will also be of interest to nurse practitioners, general practitioners and allied health professionals managing these patients.
