Book SynopsisThe goal of the first edition of Interventional Critical Care: A Manual for Advanced Care Practitioners was to fill a knowledge gap of the advanced practice provider (APP) specifically regarding the skills and understanding of critical care procedures in response to the rapidly expanding participation of APPs in critical care. Written by experts in the field, this successor edition adds to the content of the first by expanding upon ultrasonography areas to include more direct hemodynamic evaluations as well as the newer “e”FAST. It also explores the specialty of Urology to include more complex interventions. As billing and coding are necessary, the authors added appropriate CPT codes for each of the appropriate chapters. Most chapters have been completely re-written and updated from the first edition and have different authors – thereby a different perspective and experience level. Interventional Critical Care 2nd Edition serves as a valuable reference for physicians and advanced practice providers in daily practice in the ICU, OR and/or ED setting.Table of ContentsThe Multi-Disciplinary ICU Team.- Process Improvement & Patient Safety.- The Administrative Process.- Coding and Billing for Procedures.- Airway Management in the ICU.- Rescue Airway Devices and Techniques.- Cricothyroidotomy.- Percutaneous Dilatational Tracheostomy, Open Surgical Tracheostomy and Management of Tracheostomy Tubes.- Diagnostic and Therapeutic Bronchoscopy.- REBOA (Resuscitative Endovascular Balloon Occlusion of the Aorta) Catheter.- Arterial Line Access and Monitoring.- Central Venous Catheterization with and without ultrasound guidance.- Hemodialysis Catheter Insertion.- Intraosseous Access Techniques in the ICU.- Pulmonary Artery Catheter Insertion.- Tourniquet Application and Topical Hemostatics.- Pericardiocentesis.- Temporary Transvenous and Transcutaneous Pacemakers.- Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump Counterpulsation.- Resuscitative Thoracotomy.- Extra Corporal Membrane Oxygenation and Extracorporal Life Support.- Thoracentesis.- Tube Thoracostomy.- Inferior Vena Cava Filters Insertion in the Critically Ill.- External Ventricular Drain Placement.- Intraparenchymal Fiber-optic Intracranial Pressure Monitoring.- Lumbar Puncture and Drainage.- Enteral Access.- Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy tube placement.- Paracentesis.- Abdominal Compartment Syndrome.- Abdominal Compartment Syndrome and Decompressive Laparotomy.- Bedside Laparoscopy in the Intensive Care Unit.- Diagnostic Peritoneal Lavage.- Foley Catheterization - Basic to Challenging.- Catherization of Atypical Urinary Reservoirs and Clot Evacuation.- Miscellaneous Urologic Problems.- Fracture Management: Basic Principles, Immobilization, and Splinting.- Fracture Management: Advanced Principles of Procedures for Stabilization.- Compartment Syndrome & Fasciotomies.- Wound Management in the ICU.- Escharotomy.- Extended Focused Abdominal Sonography in Trauma – eFAST.- Bedside Cardiac Ultrasound In The Intensive Care Unit.

Book SynopsisThe concept for this book evolved over many years of intense clinical practice during which a wide variety of vascular complications were encountered as a result of other surgical or interventional procedures. In this book, the authors describe cohesive efforts by experts in the field as they commit to advancing health care quality by all professionals. It should be noted at the outset that the book does not discuss various non-vascular or systemic complications of patients undergoing vascular interventions such as myocardial infarction, renal or respiratory failure. Instead, the content is divided into four separate sections. The material begins with an introduction to vascular anatomy and function. There follows a section addressing specific complications of the vascular system that can occur in any patient, sometimes even without intervention. The third section addresses complications specific to interventions and surgical procedures. The final section is dedicated to the delayed and long-term sequelae attributable to the most commonly encountered vascular complications.Vascular Complications of Surgery and Intervention: A Practical Guide is targeted towards dedicated health care professionals managing patients affected by inadvertent but potentially disastrous vascular complications and for those practitioners performing interventions either directly upon the vascular system or procedures that have potential for collateral impact.Table of ContentsPart 1.

Book SynopsisThis is an open access book. Colorectal surgery is one of the most performed procedures in dedicated colorectal and general surgery units worldwide. In the last two decades, the minimally invasive laparoscopic approach has become very popular worldwide, attracting great interest among patients (lower risk of infection, less pain, and faster recovery) and demonstrating excellent oncological results. Technology is improving rapidly, offering revolutionary innovations, particularly with the advent of robotic surgery, which offers important advantages over laparoscopy for both surgeons and patients: improved ergonomics, wristed instruments, and a better vision. These advantages may be particularly useful for more complex and challenging situations (complete mesocolic excision, low rectal cancer, one-stage treatment of colorectal and liver metastases, etc.), translating into potential improved surgical and oncological results. Although several books have been published on the subject, the great interest in robotic surgery makes it mandatory, in our opinion, to have a general update in view of the latest technical innovations and the results of the most relevant and recent literature. The book is divided into chapters dealing with the different colorectal segments with their robotic surgical operations and specific technical variants. The new frontiers of benign and emergency colorectal diseases are also considered, as well as the new robotic platforms recently introduced in the healthcare market. Some of them, such as the da Vinci SP single port device, may represent a revolutionary approach for this surgery. Training and cost aspects were also considered.Table of Contents1 The tale of two cities: the development of trauma and acute care surgery.- 2 Organization and training in trauma and acute care surgery in Italy.- 3 The development of a regional trauma registry.- 4 Quality assessment in acute care surgery.- 5 Diagnostic protocols in trauma care.- 6 Damage control surgery.

Book SynopsisThis text is a fully updated and revised third edition of a highly successful text. The format of this text is unique and has been very successful. A total of 286 short chapters organized into 24 Sections provide operative dictation templates for all of the common and the vast majority of the uncommon and even rare operations performed by general and vascular surgeons. Each chapter also provides a succinct synopsis of the operation through bullet-ed lists which include Indications, Essential Steps, Note these Variations, and Complications. The book thus serves two purposes: these operative dictation templates can be used verbatim when dictating the operative note for a procedure; and the book provides ready reference to the trainee going into the operating room to do the procedure for the first time, or to someone preparing for their Board examinations. Space for notes allows surgeons to personalize the book and turn it into a resource unique to their situation. Fully updated and expanded, Operative Dictations in General and Vascular Surgery, Third Edition includes significant additions that include flexible endoscopic procedures (now recognized as a core part of general surgery training and practice), single incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy, and robotic approaches to the rectum. The endovascular procedures have been significantly expanded, as have the approaches to venous disease and to A-V fistula creation. Operative Dictations in General and Vascular Surgery, Third Edition is intended for practicing surgeons, who may modify each template to reflect their own individual practice. It also serves as a concise reminder of essential steps in those operations that may be only rarely performed.Table of ContentsIvor Lewis Esophagectomy (Laparotomy, Right Thoracotomy with Thoracic

Book SynopsisAt the request of our publishers, I accepted the task of preparing this second edition. I felt this was necessary for several reasons: new imaging technologies such as CT scanning and 3-D reconstructions are now used routinely, the in­ dications for employing improved approaches are clearer, and reconstructions are facilitated by new internal fixation devices. Above all, I thought it was time to report the long-term results of the 940 acetabular fractures, 90070 of which were treated surgically - a unique series. In spite of the experience acquired from the three previous reviews of cases (1966, 1971, and 1978), I failed to foresee the amount of time this revision would need. In fact, it took more than 3 years to follow up the larger number of cases, and 159 patients (out of 800, i. e. 22. 7%) were not included as they had moved since their last review and simply could not be located. At a time when it is in fashion to evaluate the cost of health care, it is strange to see how public administrators, so keen on evaluating the immediate cost of our opera­ tions, do not care about the quality of their long-term results, which appears to us, however, to be the best basis for the choice of the initial treatment.Table of ContentsIntroduction: History and Development of Our Methods of

Book SynopsisThere currently is a clear tendency to an increasing number of accidental injuries in elderly people, in sport injuries and car crashes also in countries which recently joined the European Union and candidates to join the European Union. Patients expect very good functional results even after serious injuries. But in contrast to this development, Trauma Surgery as an independent field, is not yet established in all European countries. Therefore, it seems mandatory to compile a book that covers the state-of-the-art in Trauma Surgery. The book also serves to harmonise the practice of Trauma Surgery within the European Union, and to prepare for the exam of the U.E.M.S.Trade ReviewFrom the reviews:“This is the first of three volumes in the European Manual of Medicine series intended to provide up-to-date information on trauma for both clinicians in training and senior practitioners. … General and trauma surgeons needing an outline of the general approach to surgical trauma care or preparing for standardized examinations are an appropriate audience for this work drawn from North American and European specialists. … This book is a good reflection of contemporary care which may be used by practicing surgeons.” (David J. Dries, Doody’s Review Service, August, 2011) Table of Contents

Book SynopsisIn the early 1950s, the pioneering work of Robert Danis on operative treatment of fractures was in danger of falling into oblivion. Maurice E. Muller, impressed and intrigued by his contacts with Danis, first critically applied internal fixation and immediate mobilization to some 80 patients and found the basic concept confirmed, but in need of further develop- ment with regard to technology, clinical application, and scientific analysis. In 1958 he assembled a group of friends, general and orthopedic surgeons, willing to invest time and effort in helping to create the necessary armamentarium and to form a study group for clinical trials. This group was set up in the same year under the name Arbeitsgemein- schaft fiir Osteosynthesefragen (AO), later on to be known in English-speaking countries as the Association for the Study of Internal Fixation (ASIF). The first report on operative treatment of fractures by Muller, Allgower, and Willeneg- ger, published in 1963, stressed the advantages of early open reduction and internal fixa- tion. This book, first published in German, amusingly lost an important part when trans- lated into English. At the suggestion of worried American and English partp. ers, a picture series showing the healing pattern of 188 tibial fractures operated on in Chur between December 20, 1961 and April26, 1962 was left out.Table of Contents1 Basic Aspects of Internal Fixation.- 2 Preoperative Planning and Principles of Reduction.- 3 Screws and Plates and Their Application.- 4 Medullary Nailing of Femur and Tibia.- 5 External Fixation.- 6 Pre-, Intra- and Postoperative Guidelines.- 7 Scapula, Clavicle, Humerus.- 8 Forearm and Hand/Mini-Implants.- 9 Pelvis.- 10 Acetabulum.- 11 Proximal Femur.- 12 Femoral Shaft and Distal Femur.- 13 Patella and Tibia.- 14 Malleolar Fractures.- 15 Foot.- 16 The Spine.- 17 Compound Fractures.- 18 Fractures in Children.- 19 Pseudarthroses.- 20 Infections.

Book SynopsisChirurgische Eingriffe an gastrointestinalen Organen unterliegen trotz Standardisierung und weitreichender Technisierung nach wie vor zum Teil erheblichen Unterschieden. Für alle Chirurgen ist es von großem Interesse, die individuellen technischen Varianten einzelner auf diesem Gebiet ausgewiesener Chirurgen kennen zu lernen und so ihr eigenes operatives Repertoire zu erweitern. In diesem Buch werden die chirurgischen Eingriffe für eine Auswahl wichtiger Operationen von Experten in ihrer spezifischen Vorgehensweise Schritt für Schritt und reich bebildert dargestellt. Zahlreiche renommierte Chirurgen aus dem deutschsprachigen Raum ebenso wie internationale Autoren beschreiben ihr Procedere. Außergewöhnliche und schwierige Situationen, wie unerwartete Befunde, anatomische Varianten oder Blutungszwischenfälle, finden besondere Berücksichtigung.Trade ReviewAus den Rezensionen: “... es gibt sowohl mathematische Hinweise zum quantitativen Risikoassessment als auch juristische und chirurgisch- praktische Erlauterungen zu Fragen der präoperativ erkennbaren Risikofaktoren, des generellen Umgangs mit schwierigen Situationen ... mit Hilfe zahlreicher intraoperativer Farbabbildungen und Schemata ... nicht nur dem angehenden und erfahrenden Chirurgen, sondern auch den Fachkollegen ...reprasentiert das Buch ein Alleinstellungsmerkmal ... Es sollte in keiner viszeralchirurgischen Bibliothek fehlen und täglich griffbereit sein ... ist geeignet und damit beispielhaft, auch für andere chirurgische Gebiete dargestellt zu werden.“ (H.

Book SynopsisThe original AO/ASIF Instrumentation manual presented a concise and complete description of the AO instruments. Thoughtfully developed by Fridolin Sequin and Rigmor Tex­ hammar, the manual discussed in a clear fashion the purpose and care of the various AO instruments that are handled by the operating room staff. One important feature of the first edition was a detailed checklist of the instruments required for the more common operative procedures for treating fractures. Fridolin Sequin was well-suited to author the first edition: his 15 years of experience as a technical engineer for the AO gave him in-depth knowledge of AO instruments, and he drew on the clinical knowledge of Rigmor Texhammar, a consultant and di­ rector of the AO courses for nurses. Its original feature of com­ bining a column of text with a column of illustrations meant the manual quickly became accepted as a standard. By 1981, trans­ lations could be found in English, French, Spanish, and Italian. Not surprisingly, the manual was very popular.Table of Contents1 Introduction: Assumption of Knowledge.- 2 History of Osteosynthesis.- 3 Atlas of Anatomy.- 4 Basic AO/ASIF Technique: Aims and Principles.- 5 Clinical and Special Assessment.- 6 AO/ASIF Instrumentation.- 7 Internal or External Fixation of Various Fractures.- 8 AO/ASIF Technique in Late Reconstructive Surgery.- 9 Surgical Fixation of the Immature Skeleton.- 10 Infections After Surgical Fixation.

Book SynopsisUltrasound guidance of liver surgery is a very sophisticated approach that permits the performance of otherwise unfeasible operations, discloses the true extent of tumors, increases the indications for hepatectomy, and renders surgery safer. Despite this, it has remained relatively neglected in the literature over the past two decades, during which time much progress has been achieved. This is the first atlas on the subject, and it is comprehensive in scope. The state of the art in the use of ultrasound for resection guidance is carefully documented, and new techniques for exploration of the biliary tract and facilitation of transplant surgery are presented. Further important topics include the role of ultrasound in laparoscopic approaches, the use of contrast agents for diagnosis and staging, and developments in the planning of surgical strategy. The editor is a leading authority whose group has been responsible for a variety of advances in the field. He has brought together other experts whose aim throughout is to provide clear information and guidance on the optimal use of ultrasound when performing liver surgery. This atlas is intended especially for hepatobiliary surgeons but will also be of considerable value for general surgeons.Trade ReviewFrom the reviews:“This atlas of ultrasound-guided liver surgery, written mainly by University of Milan faculty, effectively uses color pictures of the intraoperative field along with corresponding ultrasound images. … The audience is hepatobiliary surgeons and trainees who want to learn how to use intraoperative ultrasound or who want to step up their skills in it to guide complex resection. … It is filled with excellent pictures, images, and diagrams that help readers understand very complex concepts.” (Hisakazu Hoshi, Doody’s Book Reviews, June, 2014)Table of ContentsPart I Introductory aspects: 1 Technological requirements for ultrasound-guided liver surgery.- 2 Technical tricks to start exploring the liver with ultrasound.- 3 Exploring the liver with ultrasound following its anatomical features.- Part II Diagnosis and Staging: 4 Diagnosis and staging: intraoperative ultrasound.- 5 Diagnosis and staging: contrast enhanced intraoperative ultrasound and intravascular contrast agents.- 6 Contrast-enhanced intraoperative ultrasound using liver-specific contrast agents.- Part III Hepatobiliary Surgery: 7 Planning of the surgical strategy.- 8 Resection guidance.- 9 Intraoperative cholangio-ultrasound in the study of the biliary tree.- Part IV Liver Transplantation: 10 Liver transplantation from deceased donors.- 11 Liver transplantation from living donors.- Part V Minimally Invasive Surgery and Interventional Procedures: 12 Laparoscopic ultrasonography: impact in liver surgery.- 13 Ultrasound-guided intraoperative ablation therapies.- 14 Robotic ultrasound-guided liver resections.- 15 Conclusions: future perspectives for the use of ultrasound in liver surgery.

Book SynopsisThis comprehensive, illustrated guide presents representative general surgery, including gastrointestinal tract, hepatobiliary and inguinal hernia. Surgery is generally based on the microanatomy; however, in practice surgery involves more dynamic and floating anatomy. In the last decade, the methods have been constantly improved, shedding new light on classical anatomical science. Laparoscopic is one such methodology. All illustrations presented in this book have been drawn by the author – a pioneering surgeon – and show real-world procedures. All the methods introduced are practical and have been refined based on the precise clinical and embryological anatomy. This unique book offers readers essential insights into efficient and high-integrity surgeries in abdominal region. As such, it is a valuable resource for all gastrointestinal surgeons.Table of Contents1. Anatomy of the Stomach: Theoretical.- 2. Anatomy of the Stomach: Simplified.- 3. Distal Gastrectomy.- 4.
