Book SynopsisThe vitreous body long has been the most mysterious of all ocular structures, owing perhaps to its seeming simplicity. There have been few concerted, sustained efforts to unravel the mysteries of how vitreous is composed and what role it plays in normal physiology as well as pathology. Over the years, however, many studies have produced important findings concerning vitreous biochemistry, structure, physiology, and pathobiology. Published on the 25th anniversary of Sebag''s first book on Vitreous, this second installment is nearly five times longer than its predecessor, reflecting how much has been learned in the past quarter century. This well-constructed compendium not only addresses the most current scientific knowledge, but also reviews clinical perspectives in a manner that lends richness to the scope of the book. Written by 90 authors, this book has 56 chapters organized into 7 sections: Biochemistry; Anatomy, Development, and Aging; Pathology/Pathobiology; PhysiTrade Review“A striking feature of this textbook is the stunningly vivid color illustrations that have remarkable resolution, in spite of considerably large size. Graphs and tables are featured in both grayscale and color, adding significantly to the ease of comprehension when reading this book. … this book is not only useful to skilled clinicians and expert scientists, but also students, as the book has no competition anywhere in the world.” (Taiji Sakamoto, Graefe's Archive for Clinical and Experimental Ophthalmology, Vol. 257, 2019) Table of ContentsPREFACE: J.

Book SynopsisVisual Tracking in Conventional Minimally Invasive Surgery introduces the various tools and methodologies that can be used to enhance a conventional surgical setup with some degree of automation. The main focus of this book is on methods for tracking surgical tools and how they can be used to assist the surgeon during the surgical operation. Various notions associated with surgeoncomputer interfaces and image-guided navigation are explored, with a range of experimental results.The book starts with some basic motivations for minimally invasive surgery and states the various distinctions between robotic and non-robotic (conventional) versions of this procedure. Common components of this type of operation are presented with a review of the literature addressing the automation aspects of such a setup. Examples of tracking results are shown for both motion and gesture recognition of surgical tools, which can be used as parTable of ContentsIntroduction. Endoscope Setup and Calibration.

Book SynopsisRichard Karl, a doctor and teacher, takes the reader closer than any writer before into the corridors of the hospital, on the surgical table, and into the world of medicine. In these pages we see the tragedies and triumphs of modern medicine: the beauty of surgery done well, and the aftermath of operations that fail to deliver on the hopes of the doctor and patient. We witness the \u0022M&M\u0022-the morbidity and mortality meeting-where doctors scrutinize their own work and mistakes, and the often inevitable outcomes of treatment. Suffused throughout are Karl\u2019s keen observations on the workings of the human body and its immense capacity for healing. \u0022...I celebrate the rich privilege accorded the practicing surgeon. The surgical life is really about bearing witness to the human condition and about respecting the many almost whimsical variations of biology and about the intersection of the two. It is remarkable, really, the way I get to know people so intimately so quickly, and to observe the brave and often noble behavior in them, while I witness the relentless push of biology, the aging and decay, the growth and development, but most especially the healing, both physical and emotional. It is this natural drive of our bodies to repair themselves from all injuries (including the surgeon's wounds) that is the centerpiece of medicine. Without it no surgeon could cut.\u0022 Written with economy and subtlety, Across the Red Line offers a vivid picture of disease and the miracle of life. It will interest anyone who's ever been on either side of the surgical table.Trade Review"Richard Karl appears to be one of those rare surgeons who cares about as well as for his patients, who speaks to them in English, rather than confusing them with complex medical terms, and who in these difficult days still loves surgery. I admire his ability to describe technical matters in simple language. His book is engagingly conversational, and, like many surgeons, he's a great storyteller."-Joan Cassell, Ph.D., Department of Surgery, Washington Medical School, St. Louis "[Karl is] a natural storyteller and writer... He writes short, pithy sentences and gives a description of an MRI that should speak for everyone who has survived that procedure. Dr. Karl has an acute sense of patients' rights, and members of Congress would do well to read his book before voting on the matter."-Mary McGrory, The Washington Post "From the introduction, readers will be struck with how well this book captures the human side of medicine... It's enlightening to read as Karl eloquently chronicles the sleepless nights spent worrying about patients, the outcomes that were more related to luck than his expertise and the very moving conversations held at the end of life."-Tribune & Times (Tampa, Florida) "In Across the Red Line the author describes much that is satisfying in being an academic surgeon. [Karl] emphasizes the pleasures of teaching, the satisfaction of performing complex surgery, and the great joy in participating in the course of patient recovery...he emphasizes the emotional rewards of surgical work and the privileged interaction with the secrets of bodies and patients."-Dr. Sanford E. Feldman, The Journal of the American Medical Association "...[A] collection of vignettes about the training, practice, and personal life of a busy surgeon...The chapter about the M&M conference is especially revealing and familiar...I recommend this easy-to-read, heartwarming, and familiar book. It will cause you to reflect, remember, and smile."-James O. Menzoian, The Journal of Vascular Surgery "14 tough and gritty essays... If you want to know what it's like to chat with someone one minute and cut into him in the next... this book won't disappoint."-Albert Howard Carter III, St. Petersburg Times "Dr. Karl is a good storyteller. No, make that a very good storyteller... This book will appeal to laypeople as well as to health care practitioners. The book contains no revelations for the surgeon-nor need it contain any. Across the Red Line provides enjoyable reading about things infrequently discussed, and that's reason enough to pick it up."-The Permanente Journal "...spellbinding...The book is entertaining in some parts, but very intense in others, making it difficult to put down. It has value for anyone interested in medical matters or simply a good read, and will be helpful for prospective medical students to decide whether surgery interests them."-KliattTable of ContentsAcknowledgmentsIntroduction: Across the Red Line1.

Book SynopsisFew doctors receive formal training in how to conduct an outpatient consultation or how to compose and dictate an outpatient letter. Trainee surgeons in each new specialty spend their first few weeks in outpatient clinics learning by experience with all the pitfalls this entails. Much work involves seeing patients who have been brought back for review by their predecessors. Problems are caused by inexperience, unfamiliarity, fear of making mistakes, the pressure of patient numbers and lack of training.New doctors will find little help in the standard textbooks on how to follow-up patients.This book provides the necessary background information to enable rational decision making in a concise and economical style. It describes reasonable and safe lines of management suitable for most patients, ideal for when discussion with a senior colleague is not possible. Since the First Edition was published surgical outpatient services have undergone tremendous change. The traditional general surgical clinic has been replaced by specialist clinics where decisions on patient management are taken by multidisciplinary teams.This new edition is multi-authored to take account of the multidisciplinary approach. As well as an overall review of general outpatient issues, every major specialty is covered, with clear notes for each condition covering history, examination, investigations, results, treatment, follow-up and post-operative follow-up. The book can be read before or during clinics, and enables trainees to have an action plan in mind before they walk into a consultation. All surgeons have to be trained to go through the process of dealing with unfamiliar clinical conditions for the first time. Surgeons will use this book as a useful foundation on which to build their own personal knowledge.Trade Review'Fills a gap in most surgical trainees' reading and education...This book provides an outstanding framework for trainees to confidently and capably care for outpatients -- whether in consultation, during the preoperative workup, or during postoperative care...rigorous and authoritative...This is a worthwhile purchase for any physician who wants to improve the experience of caring for outpatient surgical patients.'

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.

This unique book contains features that provide the audience with several clinical scenarios where exceptional surgical outcomes are achieved with optimum pre-op preparation via collaborative team efforts. To date there is no other textbook emphasizing the anesthetic and surgical management during the most innovative advances in endoscopic surgery in children. Per oral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) for the definitive treatment of achalasia in children is probably the most advanced endoscopic surgery done successfully in children. POEM is the best example of endoscopic surgery performed via natural orifices known as the Natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES). Another new laparoscopic surgical intervention -Median Arcuate Ligament surgical release for Median Arcuate Ligament Syndrome (MALS) for patients with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) is described with established perioperative protocols emphasizing the need for early admission, intravenous hydration, and premedication. Novel approaches in the anesthetic management in children with short bowel syndrome for bowel lengthening techniques like the serial transverse enteroplasty (STEP) and in teenagers for laparoscopic bariatric surgery with adjustable gastric banding (AGB) and vertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSG) for morbid obesity are new areas that would enlighten the readers. Anesthetic Management in Pediatric General Surgery is an invaluable resource for pediatric anesthesiologists, surgeons, and their trainees specializing in the care of pediatric patients.
