Book SynopsisComprehensive and high-yield, this text is a digestible resource for the major anatomic, physiologic, and therapeutic principles of surgical diseases. Rather than focus on clinical presentation and pre-operative management, it presents sensible algorithmic approaches to treatment for each pathology, with particular attention to operative options. This allows the reader to develop a large armamentarium of surgical options to safely treat surgical problems and aid in the decision-making process in an organized fashion, with critical steps and techniques of specific operations included in each chapter. Importantly, this book provides a concise list of steps for common surgical operations, namely those frequently encountered during the Certifying Oral Board exam after completing residency, which is uncommon in the currently available study material. Chapters also include suggested readings and summaries of pivotal studies on the specific topics, serving as an easy reference for the content provided. The topics covered begin with pre-operative evaluation and anesthesiology, then proceed anatomically across all relevant body systems and organs, as well as trauma, transplantation, pediatric surgery, and much more.Written with senior-level general surgery residents preparing for the qualifying (written) and certifying (oral) board examinations clearly in mind, it will also be valuable to all levels of trainees preparing for the annual American Board of Surgery In-service Training Exam (ABSITE) as well as medical students with an interest in surgical training and trainees in their fellowship after completing residency.Table of ContentsPre-Operative Evaluation and Management.- Anesthesiology.- Nutrition.- Hematology/Blood Products.- Head and Neck.- Thyroid.- Parathyroid.- Thoracic.- Cardiac.- Esophagus.- Stomach.- Bariatric Surgery.- Duodenum.- Small Bowel.- Colon.- Anorectal.- Liver.- Biliary System and Gallbladder.- Pancreas.- Spleen.- Adrenal.- Urology.- Hernias.- Breast.- Skin and Soft Tissue.- Obstetrics and Gynecology.- Trauma.- Critical Care.- Burns.- Aorta, Visceral, and Upper Extremity Vascular Disease.- Peripheral Vascular Disease.- Transplant.- Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery.- Pediatric Surgery.- Global Surgery.

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

Book SynopsisDespite the fact that the incidence of gastric cancer is declining in the Western world, it remains a significant problem with respect to accurate diagnosis and treatment since it has a high mortality rate. In June 1989 an International Conference was held at the University of Rome "La Sapienza" entitled "New Trends in Gastric Cancer: Background and videosurgery". During this meeting background information on the aetiopathogenesis of gastric cancer was presented together with talks and video presentations on the latest advances in the treatment of gastric carcinoma, both from the European and Japanese experience. Because of the poor prognosis of gastric carcinoma there is increasing pressure for early detection. Some of the problems in the early detection of gastric carcinoma are discussed together with methods of surveillance of high-risk subjects. It is generally accepted that the surgical approach to gastric carcinoma should take into account the site and extent of the lesion and there are chapters on new methods for pre and intraoperative staging of the disease which allow a more logical approach to surgery. A comparison between Japanese and Western rule and results was attempted and reasons for the differences were investigated. Since the field is still evolving not all aspects could be covered, and those angles not approached in this book will be addressed in a second International Conference to be held in Rome in June 1990.Table of ContentsSection 1 Background.- 1 Epidemiology and machanism of gastric carcinogenesis.- 2 Histiogenesis and precursors of human gastric cancer.- 3 N-nitroso compounds, gastric carcinogenesis and chemoprevention.- 4 Analytical problems in the determination of N-nitroso compounds in gastric juice.- 5 Early detection of patients at high risk of developing gastric cancer.- 6 Prospects for early detection of gastric cancer and precancerous lesions.- Section 2 New Trends in Diagnosis.- 7 New trends in electronic videoendoscopy of the digestive tract.- 8 Endosonography: its diagnostic utilities for gastric cancer.- 9 Flow cytometry in gastric cancer.- Section 3 Surgical Treatment of Gastric Cancer.- 10 Intraoperative staging in gastric cancer surgery.- 11 New technologies in gastric cancer surgery: Computer system to make operation plan and intraoperative staining of regional lymph nodes for complete dissection.- 12 The general rule of the Japanese Research Society for Gastric Cancer and treatment results by the rule.- 13 A European multicentre retrospective study in cancer of stomach.- 14 Surgical treatment of gastric cancer: our elective procedures for desirable curability.- 15 “Regional” gastrectomy.- 16 Total gastrectomy in the surgical treatment of gastric cancer.- 17 The role of extensive surgery in advanced gastric cancer.- 18 The importance of extended lymphadenectomy in gastric cancer surgery.- 19 Duodenopancreatectomy for gastric cancer.- 20 Reconstruction after total gastectomy.

Book SynopsisDDDDDDDDDDDD Effective management logically follows accurate diagnosis. Such logic often is difficult to apply in practice. Absolute diagnostic accuracy may not be possible, particularly in the field of primary care, when management has to be on analysis of symptoms and on knowledge of the individual patient and family. This series follows that on Problems in Practice which was con­ cerned more with diagnosis in the widest sense and this series deals more definitively with general care and specific treatment of symp­ toms and diseases. Good management must include knowledge of the nature, course and outcome of the conditions, as well as prominent clinical features and assessment and investigations, but the emphasis is on what to do best for the patient. Family medical practitioners have particular difficulties and advantages in their work. Because they often work in professional isolation in the community and deal with relatively small numbers of near-normal patients their experience with the more serious and more rare conditions is restricted. They find it difficult to remain up-to-date with medical advances and even more difficult to decide on the suitability and application of new and relatively untried methods compared with those that are 'old' and well proven. vii Their advantages are that because of long-term continuous care for their patients they have come to know them and their families well and are able to become familiar with the more common and less serious diseases of their communities.Table of Contents1 Viral infections.- 2 Fungal infections.- 3 Bacterial infections.- 4 Tropical infections.- 5 Parasitic infestations.- 6 Eczema.- 7 Psoriasis.- 8 Lichen planus.- 9 Pityriasis rosea.- 10 Acne.- 11 Rosacea.- 12 Urticaria.- 13 Erythema multiforme.- 14 Benign neoplasms.- 15 Skin malignancy.- 16 Disorders of pigmentation.- 17 Bullous disorders.- 18 Hair problems.- 19 Photosensitivity.- 20 Ichthyosis.- 21 Drug eruptions.- 22 Pruritus.- 23 Cutaneous manifestations of metabolic disease.- 24 Erythema nodosum.- 25 Cutaneous vasculitis.- 26 Purpura.- 27 Lupus erythematosus, scleroderma, dermatomyositis.- 28 Hyperhidrosis.- 29 Topical steroids.

Book SynopsisEvidence-Based Orthopedics is an up-to-date review of the best evidence for the diagnosis, management, and treatment of orthopedic conditions. Covering orthopedic surgery as well as pre- and post-operative complications, this comprehensive guide provides recommendations for implementing evidence-based practice in the clinical setting. Chapters written by leading clinicians and researchers in the field are supported by tables of evidence that summarize systematic reviews and randomized controlled trials. In areas where evidence is insufficient to recommend a practice, summaries of the available research are provided to assist in decision-making. This fully revised new edition reflects the most recent evidence using the approved evidence-based medicine (EBM) guidelines and methodology. The text now places greater emphasis on GRADEa transparent framework for developing and presenting summaries of?evidenceto allow readers to easily evaluate the quality of evidence and the Table of ContentsContributors xv Foreword xxix Preface xxxi Abbreviations xxxiii Section I Methodology of Evidence-Based Orthopedics 1 Principles of Evidence-Based Orthopedics 3 Niek Van Der Hoek MD and Paul Tornetta III MD 2 Hierarchy of Evidence and Common Study Designs 7 Annie George BHSc, Ydo V.

Book SynopsisThe increased complexity of spinal surgical procedures in recent years has required more sophisticated anesthetic management of patients undergoing these procedures. Spine surgery anesthesia is now recognized as a distinct sub-specialty, increasingly undertaken by general anesthesiologists as well as neuroanesthesiologists. Anesthesia for Spine Surgery describes the anesthetic management and surgical procedures at every vertebral level in both adult and pediatric patients. The most important related considerations are covered, including: â Postoperative pain management â One lung ventilation during anterior thoracic spine surgery â Intraoperative neuromonitoring â Fluid management Additional chapters review the radiological features of normal and abnormal spines, common complications of spine surgery and ASA closed claims relating to spine surgery anesthesia. Written by highly experienced neuroanesthesiologists and spine surgeons, Anesthesia for Spine Surgery is essential reading forTrade Review'Anesthesia for Spine Surgery is an excellent first edition textbook covering the evolving subspecialty of anesthesia for spine surgery.'

Book SynopsisSurgical site infection (SSI) is one of the most frequent complications after abdominal surgery as abdominal procedures are often clean-contaminated, contaminated or even dirty procedures, so long the gastrointestinal tract, plenty of microorganisms, is entered. SSI is associated with morbidity and mortality, and reduces the patients' quality of life after surgery. Moreover, it prolongs hospital stay and requires increased instrumentation, medication and complementary tests, altogether representing an economic burden for the Health Services. This has led to the development of several Guidelines and Consensus documents, including prophylactic measures to prevent SSI. Different scientific societies, including the World Health Organization (WHO), the Center for Disease Control (CDC), the American College of Surgeons (ACS) and the Surgical Infection Society (SIS), have published recommendations for the prevention of SSI in the last years. All the documents agree with most of the recommendations. However, the evidence grade of these recommendations is often low to moderate and with the aim to generalise these measures to all the surgical procedures, the extrapolations lead to a lowered evidence power. Thus, in some cases the force of the recommendations is based on the opinion of experts in the field. The aim of this book is to revise the actual evidence about these prophylactic measures in abdominal surgery.Table of ContentsFor more information, please visit our website at:https://novapublishers.com/shop/prophylaxis-of-surgical-site-infection-in-abdominal-surgery/
