Book SynopsisThis book is a first-of-its-kind unique atlas that synthesizes a full review of both upper and lower extremity reconstructive options in one text. While there are books that concentrate on local soft tissue coverage and other books that discuss all types of free flaps, this book features a full scope and provides the full spectrum of reconstructive options. It features high-quality pictures and made-just-for-this-text illustrations created by reconstructive surgeons with intimate knowledge of the procedures. This atlas includes a detailed description of each flap and presents high-quality pictures and graphics explaining relevant anatomy. Each chapter offers case presentations accompanied by explanations that describe why doctors select specific reconstructive options; this guides the readers on how to discern which flap to choose in which situation. Comprehensive Atlas of Upper and Lower Extremity: From Primary Closure to Free Tissue Transfer offers a comprehensive tool for plastic surgeons, orthopedic surgeons, and some general surgeons who perform simple soft tissue coverage.Table of Contents1- History of Extremity Reconstruction2- Pre – operative considerations3- Insetting an extremity flap: Hints for a successful outcome4- Post – operative monitoring and recovery5- Primary Closure: Simple, intermediate and complex closure of wounds6- Split thickness skin grafting 7- Application of artificial soft tissue substitute8- The use of the ABRA device for primary closure9- Local soft tissue re – arrangement: The random V-Y flap, rhomboid flap, z plasty 10- Gastrocnemius rotational flap11- Soleus rotational flap12- Sartorius muscle rotational flap13- Rectus femoris muscle rotational flap14- Moberg flap15- First Dorsal Metacarpal Artery (FDMA) flap16- Litre Island flap 17- Posterior Interroseous Artery (PIA) flap 18- Dorsalis Pedis (DP) flap19- Propeller Perforator flap20- Anterolateral Thigh (ALT) free flap21- Modifications in the use of the ALT flap22- Anteromedial Thigh (AMT) free flap23- Superficial Circumflex Iliac artery Perforator (SCIP) free flap24- Deep Inferior Epigastric Perforator (DIEP) free flap25- Radial Forearm Free Flap (RFFF) 26- Ulnar Artery Perforator (UAP) free flap27- Lateral Arm free flap28- Gracilis Muscle free flap29- Functional gracilis muscle flap for restoration of upper extremity function30- Vastus Lateralis free flap31- Tensor Fascia Lata flap32- Lattisimus Dorsi free flap33- Serratus Anterior free flap34- Parascapular free flap35- Scapular free flap36- The chimeric flap based on the subscapular artery system37- Medial Sural Artery Perforator (MSAP) free flap38- Toe to thumb transfer

Book SynopsisThis atlas is the first reference covering exclusively all aspects of sciatic pain. It is designed to serve as a brief and easy-to-comprehend review of the knowledge of spinal sciatica, with emphasis on classification, epidemiology, clinical presentations, neuroimaging, and treatment options. Sections on extraspinal sciatica and differential diagnosis of this multifaceted topic are also included. This atlas delivers more information in less space than traditional texts, allowing for a quick review of the essential facts of this clinical entity through plentiful images and tables. Pertinent imaging is combined with intraoperative photographs and hand-drawn illustrations to help readers visualize variable presentations and enhance their management. The comprehensive content of this richly-illustrated book covers different etiologies of sciatic pain seen in spinal, neurosurgical, neurologic, rheumatologic and emergency practices, divided into five thematic sections. After general considerations about sciatica and their differential diagnosis, the second section focuses on lumbosacral discogenic sciatica. The third section includes spinal non-discogenic sciatica. The fourth section focuses on extraspinal intrapelvic sciatica, and the fifth provides a description of the most important etiologies of extraspinal extrapelvic sciatica. Comprehensive and unique, Atlas of Sciatica is an excellent pictorial resource for neurosurgeons, spinal surgeons, neurologists, rheumatologists, and many other clinicians worldwide. It is a “one of a kind” book that stands head and shoulders above any other book on this subject (from the foreword of Professor Edward C. Benzel, MD, Founder of the World Spinal Column Society).Table of ContentsPart I.

Book Synopsis"… the neurosurgical primer that every resident will own and study" - Robert Spetzler Given that the great majority of brain surgeries are preceded by a craniotomy, mastering the procedure is essential for junior residents. Choosing the appropriate craniotomy and executing it safely is the difference between a straightforward case with good access to the target and a procedure where access to the target is needlessly traumatic and may even be impossible. Professor Raabe's The Craniotomy Atlas provides precise instructions for performing all common neurosurgical cranial exposures, including: convexity approaches, midline approaches, skull base approaches, transsphenoidal approaches and more. Instructions for each craniotomy include positioning, head fixation, aesthetic considerations, and protecting the dura mater. Special Features: More than 600 high-quality operative photographs and brilliant illustrations support the step-by-step descriptions, with all the precision and attention to detail that neurosurgeons have come to expect from the editor Professor Raabe, and the associate editors Professors Meyer, Schaller, Vajkoczy, and Winkler. Full coverage of complications and risk factors Checklist with summaries of the critical steps All residents and trainees in neurosurgery will treasure this essential resource, which will help build confidence when performing these critical neurosurgical procedures.
