Book SynopsisPatients affected with a hernia continue to represent a significant clinical population. Resulting from varied causes and associated with an array of pathophysiologies, a hernia can pose marked diagnostic and treatment challenges for the clinician. Sometimes sub-clinical and sometimes life-threatening, a hernia may require little or substantial medical intervention. This book consists of sixteen chapters by noted clinicians and scientists. Many chapters include background pathogenesis, typical symptoms experienced by patients, diagnostic measures, and therapeutic approaches. Current information is summarised and interpretations offered where appropriate. Basic pathogenic mechanisms and pathophysiology are considered in chapters such as those on the inheritance of a groin hernia (Burcharth and Rosenberg), and on alterations in arterial blood gases both before and after surgery (Tsounaki). These chapters make evident both the progress made in understanding the processes underlying hernias and related diseases, as well as the incomplete understanding we have with respect to such processes. Descriptions of clinical presentations, diagnostic approaches, and medical and surgical management are provided for several types of hernias, including inguinal, diaphragmatic, incisional, and Richter''s. The utility of new methods for correction, such as laparoscopy and components separation, is described in the chapters by Maxwell and Baird, Marescaux et al, Mazzochi et al, and Sabino et al. These chapters reflect the technological improvements that have been brought to the successful treatment of hernias. It is likely that, with time, further definitions and refinements will additionally advance the understanding and approaches to hernias. The goal of this book is to summarise our understanding of basic concepts of hernia, at present, as a reference for scientists and clinicians.

Book SynopsisThis book represents an effort to document the experience of a carefully-chosen group of international surgeons, regarding the use of imaging technology in their everyday practice. The aim of this book is to help medical students and surgeons at all levels of training and practice to understand the basics of the more common imaging techniques (CT, MRI, MRCP, US, XR, radionuclide scan, etc.), including their advantages and disadvantages and their optimal use and limitations. Following that, the application of these imaging modalities, including the most current developments, in the different fields and subspecialties of surgical practice (including, but not limited to, surgical oncology, neurosurgery, endocrine surgery breast surgery, hepatobiliary surgery, pancreatic surgery, transplantation, urology etc.) is presented in detail. What is important about this book is that it is written by an international group of surgeons who are experts in their respective fields and who offer us here their wisdom and experience, regarding what the communication between the surgeon and the radiologist should be, in order to provide these complex patients with the best possible care. Apart from the radiological and imaging tools commonly used in current practices, future prospects and challenges regarding how imaging technology can increase surgical efficiency in the future are explored. The overall goal of this book is to help surgeons in today''s technology-driven environment have a proper understanding of the use and limitations of modern imaging techniques.

Book SynopsisThere are about 1,300 general surgery residency spots a year in the US alone. In addition, 20,000 medical students rotate through surgery a year. With medical students and residents routinely scrubbing into surgeries that they've never seen or have only seen a handful of times, an easy, practical, to the point, user friendly reminder of the major steps of an operation is vital. It is not uncommon to see medical students and residents watching videos or searching online frantically to understand a common operation. This book serves as a practical guide for the resident to easily carry in their pocket, quickly skim through, and have the basic steps of every major operation at their fingertips. Common Surgeries Made Easy is written in a bullet point format with clear illustrations to provide an easy to read, quick overview of the "core" surgeries encountered during residency with some added advanced operations for extended use in the beginning stages of a medical career. Geared towards quick review for the oral board exams, this study guide caters specifically to the resident.Table of ContentsTable of Contents Section 1. Esophagus1. Nissen fundoplication2.

Book Synopsis The varus knee has a group of bone and ligament abnormalities that must be addressed to correct the deformity. The mechanical axis of the femur is tilted medially relative to the long axis of the tibia. The distal femoral surface usually remains in valgus alignment to the long axis of the femur. Most of the varus deformity is caused by deficiency in the medial tibial plateau. The deep and superficial medial collateral ligaments are contracted and deformed by osteophytes.Table of Contents1.

Book SynopsisThe past 25 years have seen a progressive improvement in external fixation techniques in terms of patient acceptability, ease of appli- cation and apparatus stability. The recent awareness in Europe of the method, application and excellent results of the technique pio- neered by G. A. I1izarov has caused a rapid increase here in the number of surgeons who have become "banderilleros". In particu- lar, external fixators can be used in the treatment of difficult clini- cal conditions, such as severe fractures and their sequelae, as well as for the correction of congenital deformities of the peripheral skeleton. As one of the first in France to use the lIizarov method, I became increasingly aware that we needed an updating of anatomical knowledge oriented towards this technique, which uses multiple fixation pins. Without this anatomical infonnation, there is real danger of damaging neuro-vascular structures or entering ajoint in the course of assembling the fixator. Traditional anatomical cross- sections are often inadequate or too schematic to serve as a safe guide for the surgeon using this particular technique. This is the reason why my colleagues Claude Faure and Philippe Merloz have produced and analysed a series of anatomical cross-sections of the limbs to serve this particular need.Table of ContentsPreparation and Analysis of the Cross-sections.- A. Cross-sections of the Shoulder and Arm.- B. Cross-sections of the Forearm.- C. Cross-sections of the Thigh.- D. Cross-sections of the Leg.- Glossary Index.- Shoulder and Arm.- Forearm.- Thigh.- Leg.

Book SynopsisTrade Review"This third edition book masterfully reviews physiologic, pharmacologic, and other important principles of pediatric anesthesiology. It is an easy read that highlights topics ranging from fetal lung development to pediatric critical care. The book provides brief but excellent overviews of congenital syndromes and diseases that are unique to the field, and offers sound organization, allowing for quick reference and review. The previous edition was published in 2016. This is a timely, informative, and useful update to the prior edition." ©Doody's Review Service, 2023, Harrison D Pravder, MD (Yale School of Medicine) Doody's Score: 5 Stars!Table of ContentsSECTION 1: THE NORMAL CHILD Transition from Fetal to Pediatric Anesthesia Developmental Physiology and Pharmacology SECTION 2.
