Springer Nature Switzerland AG Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery of the Male Breast
Book SynopsisThe thorax has a fundamental role in the aesthetic of the male body: congenital or acquired alterations are experienced as extremely frustrating clinical situations. Most breast surgery texts briefly mention gynecomastia, but no text comprehensively addresses the male breast and thorax, including reconstructive and cosmetic surgery and surgery in transgender patients. This gap is now thoroughly filled by Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery of the Male Breast: after introducing principles of anatomy and aesthetics for the male thorax, the first part focusses on the main congenital malformations and their treatment; the main benign acquired pathologies and their treatment (including an ample section dedicated to gynecomastia), the carcinoma of the male breast, with reference to familiar forms; the treatment of carcinoma and reconstruction of the thorax. The book closes with a chapter dedicated to breast surgery in transgender patients. While female breast surgery is increasingly practiced in specific Breast Units and highly specialized centers, male breast issues are treated in general and plastic surgeries units. This handy volume is a sound reference for the most complex clinical cases, and the latest reconstruction treatments for the male thorax and will be useful for general and thoracic surgeons, plastic surgeons and senologists.Trade ReviewTable of ContentsPart 1 Aesthetic Aspects of the Male Chest.- 1 Arts and Aesthetics of Male Chest.- Part 2 Anatomy of the Male Chest.- 2 Preoperative considerations on the thorax: Anatomy and Surgical Landmarks.- Part 3 Male Chest Congenital Pathologies.- 3 Poland syndrome.- 4 Pectus excavatum.- Pectus carenatum.- Part 4 Benign Pathologies of Male Breast.- 6 Gynecomastia.- 7 Gynecomastia after massive weight loss: reshaping with intercostal perforator flaps.- 8 Male Tuberous Breast.- Part 5 Oncologic Pathologies of Male Breast.- 9 Skin Tumors of the Male Chest.- 10 Male Breast Cancer: Oncology.- 11 Male Breast Cancer: Oncologic Surgery.- 12 Male Breast Cancer: Reconstructive Surgery.- Part 6 Anterior Chest Wall Reconstruction.- 13 Chest Fistula repair.- 14 Reconstruction with Pedicled Flaps.- 15 Reconstruction with Free Flaps.- Part 7 Feminization of the Male Chest.- 16 Augmentation mammoplasty.- Part 8 Masculinization of the Female chest.- 17 Masculinization of the Female chest.

Springer Nature Switzerland AG Drug Delivery in Dermatology: Fundamental and
Book SynopsisSkin accounts for approximately 15% of an adult’s total body weight, with a surface of about 2m². It provides an entry and exit barrier to various substances, offers effective protection against harmful substances, microorganisms and ultraviolet radiation, and is also paramount in immunology and body homeostasis, preventing dehydration and loss of essential minerals.The topical route has a number of advantages over oral and parenteral routes: no first-pass metabolism, greater convenience resulting in better treatment compliance, lower side-effect frequency, and prompt dosing cessation if required. However, the stratum corneum allows penetration of only 1 to 5% of substances applied topically, making this application route much less efficient. Lipophilic and small molecules (up to 500 Da) can cross the stratum corneum, since keratinocytes are covered by a lipid matrix, while it is virtually impossible for hydrophilic and large drugs to cross intact, normal skin, which means that passive topical delivery is restricted. To address this, techniques have been developed aimed at optimizing drug skin penetration by means of chemical, mechanical and physical methods, such as adding permeating active agents and using occlusion, iontophoresis, microneedling, lasers and intense pulsed light, and it is now possible to deliver medication to different skin layers or transdermally to the systemic circulation. Drug delivery is a hot topic in dermatology, with a Pubmed search generating 203431 articles. Offering a detailed review of this emerging therapeutic option, including the various methods available, this unique book guides physicians and doctors in selecting the correct technologies, technique and products for each patient.

Springer International Publishing AG The Acute Management of Surgical Disease
Book SynopsisEmergency General Surgery has become a cornerstone of Acute Care Surgery over the past decade. Once the scope of community general surgeons, the growing complexity of patients with acute surgical diseases has increasingly driven their care to tertiary referral centers. The aging population confounds this problem further as these patients present with more complex comorbidities, life-threatening physiology, and progressively severe anatomic disease severity. To ensure better outcomes, the practice has evolved to focus on evidence-based practice management guidelines in order to standardize care and optimize outcomes.The purpose of this text is to be a comprehensive volume for patients with acute surgical diseases. There will be three sections, each comprised of multiple chapters. The first section will be a comprehensive analysis of the background of Emergency General Surgery. The goal of this section will be to provide the reader background into the acute surgical practice and to introduce the reader to the important concepts discussed in the remainder of the textbook. The second section will be the largest and will discuss specific acute surgical diseases. Individual chapters will outline the diagnostic approach, current treatment standards, operative approaches, and expected outcomes with an emphasis on practice management guideline implementation into practice. As acute surgical diseases and surgical critical care are integral to each other, the last section will be Critical Care for the Acute Care Surgeon. These topics will focus on the critical care concepts essential to surgeons who care for acute diseases.This comprehensive text is targeted to any surgeon who takes emergency call for any of the listed diseases including community and referral general and vascular surgeons. In addition, this would be an excellent resource for all general surgery residents. Lastly, this would also serve as a resource to intensivists who care for acute surgical patients.Table of ContentsPart 1: Introduction to Fundamental Emergency General Surgery Concepts 1.

Springer International Publishing AG Imaging and Pathology of Pancreatic Neoplasms: A
Book SynopsisThe second edition of this atlas focuses on imaging methods and techniques, new diagnostic concepts and therapeutic approaches in management of pancreatic neoplasms. Although interest in pancreatic pathology is very high in the radiological and gastroenterological communities, less is known about it than about, for example, liver pathology. Diagnosis depends on the structure of the pancreatic lesion, which can be directly visualized in US, CT or MR images.The book’s focus is very much on the imaging and pathological appearances, with most of the text concentrated at the beginning of the book followed by images gallery. A comprehensive overview is provided of typical and atypical presentations and diverse aspects of common and rare pancreatic tumors, including ductal adenocarcinomas with dedicated chapter to ductal adenocarcinoma downstaging, neuroendocrine neoplasms, cystic pancreatic neoplasms and intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms. The Verona “Pancreas Centre,” the first institute of its kind in Italy and one of very few in the world, pursues an interdisciplinary approach to treating the problems of this organ, focusing on the patient, on research, and on teaching. A dedicated center that can look back on 40 years of tradition, many of its respected specialists have made essential contributions in surgery, gastroenterology, oncology, pathology, and radiology. Given its scope, this atlas will be an invaluable asset, helping radiologists understand the underlying pathology and helping pancreatic pathologists understand the imaging translation.Table of Contents1.

Springer International Publishing AG The SAGES Manual Operating Through the Endoscope
Book SynopsisIn 2016 the first edition of the SAGES Manual Operating through the Endoscope was published. At the time, this represented a review of cutting-edge new technologies that were being introduced within the field of flexible endoscopy. Largely based on applications and data up to 2013, this served as a unique resource for clinicians and researchers to learn about this expanding field. Since then, there has been a significant expansion of new technologies and procedures within this discipline that have meaningfully changed this entire sub-specialty. In addition, large numbers of high-quality data have emerged that support more heartily the safety and efficacy of these techniques. Major international societies now routinely include hands-on training and scientific content of this field in meetings and educational efforts, and many trainees and practitioners are looking for resources to improve their knowledge and technical skills sets. For these reasons, an update on this rapidly advancing field seems appropriate at this time, given the enormous amount of new content available. Endoscopic surgical procedures allow for less invasive access for performing increasingly complex procedures. This results in maximal benefit for patients with fewer complications, faster recovery, and less pain. Endoscopy allows access to the gastrointestinal tract without transgressing the abdominal or chest walls, by means of a truly less invasive route. These technologies and skills are being sought out by practitioners and asked for by patients.The proposed textbook is designed to present a comprehensive and state-of the-art approach to the diverse applications of surgical techniques and procedures through the endoscopic platform. Written by experts and emerging specialists in that field, each of these sections will address patient selection, pre-operative considerations, technical conduct of the most common operations, and avoiding complications. A review of the existing literature addressing the particular topic will follow in each section. Extensive endoscopic images and illustrations will make this an interactive text. In addition to updates on most topics in the previous manual, this edition will include exciting new fields of advanced imaging, artificial intelligence and augmented imaging, applications of robotics to endoscopy, and more robust exposure of endoscopic applications for treatment of obesity, a worldwide epidemic.The subject of surgical endoscopy has changed meaningfully since publication of the first edition; now a substantial focus of major journals, scientific meetings, and online platforms. A timely update can capture this broad subject in an accessible manual focused on technologies and data supporting these interventions.Table of ContentsThe Interface Between Therapeutic Gastrointestinal Endoscopy and Endoscopic Gastrointestinal SurgeryEndoscopic Tools: Instruments Operating Platforms for Surgical EndoscopyEndolumenal Electrosurgical EnergyEndoscopic Training – Surgeon and GI ParadigmsAdvanced Training and Certifications in EndoscopyUpper Gastrointestinal Tract BleedingStricture Management: Interventional OptionsUpper Gastrointestinal Tract LeaksEndoscopic Treatment of Gastrointestinal LeaksLower Gastrointestinal Tract BleedingEndoscopic Stenting for Malignant Colorectal ObstructionInterventional Procedures for Inflammatory Bowel DiseaseEnteral Access: Percutaneuous Endoscopic Gastrostomy, Gastrostomy -Jejunostomy, and JejunostomyBarrett's Esophagus Surveillance - WATS, real-time endoscopic microscopyBarrett's Esophagus Treatment – Radiofrequency and other Ablation ModalitiesEndolumenal Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease TherapiesEndomucosal Resection of the Upper GI TractEndoscopic Mucosal Resection Colon and RectumEndoscopic Submucosal Dissection: Upper Gastrointestinal Tract Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection in Colon and RectumPeroral Endoscopic Myotomy (POEM)Intramural Surgery Per-Oral Endoscopic Myotomy for Zenker’s Diverticulum (Z-POEM)Intramural Surgery: Per-Oral PyloromyotomyPer-oral Endoscopic Tunneling for Restoration of the Esophagus (POETRE)Operating through the Endoscope -Endoscopic Full-Thickness ResectionSubmucosal Tunneling Endoscopic Resection of GI Submucosal TumorsThoracic Applications Per Oral Plication of the Esophagus (POPE) Thoracic Applications: Endoscopic Approaches to Benign Esophagorespiratory Fistula ClosureEndoscopic Ultrasound (EUS) Guided Biliary DrainageEUS-directed Transgastric ERCP (EDGE Procedure) for Management of Choledocholithiasis in Post-Gastric Bypass AnatomyAdvanced EUS: Future ApplicationsCholangioscopy Role of Endoscopic Bariatric Therapies in a Comprehensive Multidisciplinary Metabolic and Bariatric ProgramEndoscopic Anatomy of the Bariatric PatientIntragastric Balloon TherapyEndoscopic Liners (Duodenojejunal Bypass Liner, Gastroduodenojejunal Bypass Sleeve)Endoscopic Sleeve GastroplastyNew technologies to treat obesity and related comorbiditiesEndoscopic Bariatric Revisional ProceduresERCP and the Bariatric Patient Hybrid Laparoscopic and Endoscopic Techniques: Upper Gastrointestinal TractHybrid Laparoscopic and Endoscopic Techniques: Colon and RectumNatural Orifice Translumeinal Endoscopic Surgery (NOTES ™)Artificial Intelligence in EndoscopyAdvanced Imaging Through The EndoscopeRobotics in Endoscopy/Tele-EndoscopyFuture Horizons in Flexible Endoscopy

Springer International Publishing AG General Surgery Residency Survival Guide
Book SynopsisThere are over 250 surgical residencies in the United States. Most residents experience some degree of shock once they start on the very first day, and the demands of residency are high. The current overall dropout rate is 16%, and there is evidence for higher burnout rates, suicide rates, addiction rates and divorce rates among all surgeons compared to other careers. There is therefore a critical need for the education of resiliency during surgical residency and guidance on surviving this challenging portion of their career. Unfortunately, the experiences of trial and error are the basis for survival, and resiliency training is often overlooked as part of the traditional surgical training. This practical guide is founded on many conversations with struggling general surgery residents and will have wide appeal, utilizing these experiences via interviews with current residents at different residency programs and covering an even wider variety of topics, with variable experiences based on differing ages, races, sexes, and marital statuses. Each chapter begins with a topic and a brief introduction, expansion on the topic based on their unique experiences, and then a concluding list of pearls to remember and use in daily residency. The topics are broken down thematically into five main sections, covering the breadth of residency experience and work/life balance: academics, clinical duties, life outside of work, leadership and ethics, and basic survival skills and self-care.Written by current residents for current residents, General Surgery Residency Survival Guide will be a valuable resource for everyone navigating this challenging portion of their medical career.Table of ContentsPart I.

Springer International Publishing AG Modern Keratoplasty: Surgical Techniques and
Book SynopsisKeratoplasty techniques have evolved in the last 15 years into a variety of forms, which have diversified the previous monographic presence of the penetrating keratoplasty technique. The development of anterior lamellar graft (DALK), and posterior lamellar graft (DSAEK), makes an important change in the approach to lamellar surgery. Later on, the appearance of DMEK and superficial lamellar keratectomy broadened the spectrum. Today, intralamellar surgery has evolved with a number of techniques that involve stromal enhancement with biologically active or acellular corneal laminas from donors, customized lenticles from SMILE surgeries or customized by corneal topography, and more recently, corneal regeneration of the stroma by advanced techniques using mesenchymal stem cells.This book offers a comprehensive overview of modern keratoplasty techniques, the technology, surgical skills, and outcomes. It highlights the practical uses of keratoplasty for all cornea surgeons and anterior segment surgeons. The book is divided into sections, each covering a specific type of keratoplasty, including chapters on innovations within each surgery type. The goal of this book is to unify all recent knowledge about the different keratoplasty techniques and outcomes, creating a one-stop resource for ophthalmaolgy surgeons.Modern Keratoplasty is a must-have resource for corneal specialists and surgeons, anterior segment surgeons, refractive surgeons, cataract surgeons, residents, fellows, and corneal researchers.Table of ContentsChapter 1: Introduction: current status of corneal transplantation: success, failures & turning points.- Part 1 - Preparing the Patient.- Chapter 2: Modern cornea eye banking: storage options, types of tissue .- Chapter 3: Risk classification and management of corneal grafts, Human Leukocyte Antigen matching, and options for immunosuppression therapy.- Chapter 4: Management of the vascularized cornea before corneal graft surgery - Fine needle diathermy - AntiVEGF.- Part 2 - Penetrating keratoplasty.- Chapter 5: Main issues to overcome in modern PK .- Chapter 6: Improvements in surgical techniques and suturing.- Chapter 7: Closing the wound: can sutures be avoided?.- Chapter 8: Femtosecond Assisted Penetrating Keratoplasty and Deep Anterior Lamelar Keratoplasty.- Chapter 9: Femtosecond Laser Assisted Tuck-In Penetrating Keratoplasty.- Chapter 10: Rescuing Failed Penetrating Keratoplasty Grafts.- Chapter 11: Excimer laser assisted PKP and DALK.- Part 3 - Epithelial Lamellar keratoplasty.- Chapter 12: Keratolimbal Grafts: outcomes, innovations and alternatives.- Chapter 13: Simple Limbal Epithelial Transplantation.- Chapter 14: Cultivated Limbal Epithelial Transplantation (CLET).- Chapter 15: Mesenchymal Stem Cells for Regeneration of the Ocular Surface.- Chapter 16: Induced pluripotent stem cells in epithelial lamellar keratoplasty.- Part 4 - Stromal Lamellar keratoplasty.- Chapter 17: Bowman layer transplantation.- Chapter 18: Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasty: current state of the art.- Chapter 19: Customised Lenticule addition keratoplasty (SLAK).- Chapter 20: Lamellar surgery with SMILE lenticles.- Chapter 21: Corneal Allogenic Intrastromal Ring Segments (CAIRS).- Chapter 22: Advanced DALK techniques: - Mushroom mini big bubble DALK.- Chapter 23: Large-Diameter Deep Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasty.- Chapter 24: Regenerative Surgery of the Corneal Stroma For Advanced Keratoconus.- Part 5 - Endothelial Keratoplasty.- Chapter 25: Endothelial Keratoplasty.

Springer International Publishing AG The ABSITE Blueprints
Book SynopsisThe idea for the book emanated from the experience of one of the editors, Dr. Hana Ajouz, who encountered many general surgery residents who were seeking a good ABSITE review book from which to study, and none was found to be truly comprehensive and up-to-date. There is an immense need for a comprehensive yet concise and easy-to-use book that has a clear structure and one that reflects new findings, methods and references that current surgical residents will find to be applicable. The intentional structure of the book is simply this - capture the most pertinent information for each specialty that is on the SCORE® curriculum and frequently asked on the ABSITE exam and present it to the reader in a capsulized, simplified format of charts or tables. Hence, in addition to its study-friendly structure, this review book comprehensively mirrors most contemporary general surgery curricula. It also encompasses key operative steps of wider general surgery procedures, which most review books lack. Moreover, while most ABSITE review books are written by one or a few authors, each chapter in this book is reviewed/authored by someone with expertise in their specialty. This compiles the experience of many authorities into one resource helping general surgery residents stay up-to-date with the most recent and important concepts in the field.Table of ContentsChapter 1: Abdomen and HerniaChapter 2: BiliaryChapter 3: LiverChapter 4: Pancreas and SpleenChapter 5: EsophagusChapter 6: StomachChapter 7: Small IntestineChapter 8: Large Intestine and AnorectalChapter 9: EndoscopyChapter 10: Breast and OncologyChapter 11: EndocrineChapter 12: SICUChapter 13: TraumaChapter 14: VascularChapter 15: TransplantChapter 16: ThoracicChapter 17: PediatricsChapter 18: Skin, Soft tissue and PlasticsChapter 19: GenitourinaryChapter 20: Head and NeckChapter 21: BiostatisticsChapter 22: Preoperative Care and GeriatricsChapter 23: Minimally Invasive Surgery

Springer International Publishing AG Controversies in Thyroid Nodules and
Book SynopsisThis book provides a practical, evidence-based approach to controversies in the management of thyroid nodules and differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC). Thyroid nodules are a commonly encountered clinical entity, identified in 2-6% of the population by palpation, and 20-35% by ultrasound. DTC is the solid organ cancer with the most rapidly increasing incidence (>50,000 new cases in the U.S. annually). Despite extensive research and multiple published comprehensive practice guidelines, numerous controversies remain within this field covering a wide range of issues, including incidence and epidemiology, radiographic evaluation, criteria for needle biopsy, cytopathologic and molecular diagnostics, active surveillance vs. operation for low-risk tumors, extent of surgery, indications for radioactive iodine treatment and external beam radiation, and optimal protocols for follow-up. The book takes a case-based approach: each chapter will begin with a patient presentation highlighting a particular controversial subject in thyroid nodules and DTC. The remainder of the chapter discusses the controversy within the context of current scientific understanding and clinical practice, using the latest evidence-based practice guidelines. Chapters conclude with a final review and discussion of the opening case, with options and recommendations for next steps provided. The recommendations are evidence-based and practical, intended to help guide practitioners in their ongoing care of patients with thyroid nodules and DTC. Each chapter was written by a recognized expert in the area of controversy, including endocrine surgeons, endocrinologists, radiologists, medical oncologists, and nuclear medicine specialists. Controversies in Thyroid Nodules and Differentiated Thyroid Cancer: A Case-Based Approach is an excellent guide for oncologists, endocrinologists, otorhinolaryngologists, surgeons, and practitioners of all types that care for patients with thyroid nodules and DTC.Table of ContentsChapter 01: Incidence and Epidemiology of Differentiated Thyroid Cancer: Is thyroid cancer incidence truly increasing, or is it simply a finder effect?Chapter 02: Criteria for Fine-Needle Aspiration Biopsy in Thyroid NodulesChapter 03: Preoperative Molecular Testing for Indeterminate Thyroid NodulesChapter 04: Active Surveillance of Low-Risk Differentiated Thyroid CancerChapter 05: Preoperative Laryngoscopy in Thyroid Surgery PatientsChapter 06: Radiofrequency Ablation for Thyroid NodulesChapter 07: Management of low-risk papillary thyroid cancer in a patient with familial non-medullary thyroid cancer Chapter 08: Intraoperative Nerve Monitoring in Thyroid OperationsChapter 09: Extent of Surgery for Low-Risk Papillary Thyroid CancerChapter 10: Surgical Management of Locally Advanced Thyroid Cancer with Tracheal InvasionChapter 11: Management of Central Neck Nodes in Papillary Thyroid CancerChapter 12: Impact of Surgeon Volume in Thyroid OperationsChapter 13: Intraoperative/Postoperative Calcium Management in ThyroidectomyChapter 14: Indications for Radioactive Iodine Therapy in Thyroid Cancer PatientsChapter 15: Recurrent Nodal Metastases of Papillary Thyroid CancerChapter 16: Management of Non-Invasive Follicular Thyroid Neoplasm with Papillary-Like Features (NIFT-P)Chapter 17: Timing of long-term post-operative surveillance for low-risk differentiated thyroid cancerChapter 18: External-Beam Radiation for Patients with Differentiated Thyroid Cancer – Is There a Role?

Thieme Publishing Group The Temporal Bone: Anatomical Dissection and
Book SynopsisTemporal bone anatomy is arguably the most complex anatomy in the human body. The proximity of vital neural and vascular structures, the intricate three-dimensional relationships involved, and the manner in which these structures are encased in a labyrinth of bony canals pose a major challenge to the preparation for and performance of surgery. It follows that specialized anatomy teaching courses are indispensable, and these are most effective when executed with the help of dissections on cadaver preparations. Mario Sanna's Temporal Bone is a guide to the dissection courses that the author himself would have sought to have while he was receiving training—as such, creating it has been a "dream come true" for the author. The manual is designed to complement and reinforce the experiences of course participants, comprehensively covering the normal and surgical anatomy of the temporal bone and all aspects of basic and advanced otologic and neurootologic surgery. Key Features: The surgical anatomy is shown with the help of specially prepared cadaveric dissections The approaches/techniques in these dissections are described step-by-step For every approach/technique, the surgical anatomy, indications, surgical steps, and hints and pitfalls are described The Temporal Bone effectively transmits Mario Sanna's passionate dedication in otologic teaching and training to excellence. Residents and fellows should definitely find it indispensable.Table of Contents1. Temporal Bone Dissection Laboratory 2. Anatomy of the Temporal Bone 3. Transmastoid Approaches 4.
