Book SynopsisAutogenous bone grafting continues to be the gold standard for treating osseous defects and stimulating new bone formation. Harvesting of autogenous bone grafts can be associated with a significant risk of complications. Also, the amount of bone graft that can be harvested is limited. Therefore, efforts have been made to develop different bone graft substitutes such as: allografts, synthetic bone substitutes, platelet-rich plasma, bone marrow aspirate, Bone Morphogenetic Proteins, Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor, Fibroblast Growth Factors, parathyroid hormone and Wnt signalling. Some techniques with the use of bone autografts in orthopaedics and dentistry, complications associated with the harvest of autografts, the use of other alternatives, their biology and clinical applications and a look into research into new materials and technologies aiming to improve this field in medicine will be discussed in this book.

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 Synopsis This book is a surgical manual, intended to present and discuss the use of robotic surgery for abdominal wall hernia repair. It comprises the most important surgical approaches in the field, presenting step by step procedures in a clear and didactic way. Abdominal wall hernias are very common conditions, easily identifiable in clinical practice and that usually require a surgical intervention as treatment. However, the choice for the right surgical procedure to treat those conditions may vary, provided the diversity on possible techniques, clinical presentations and complexity. Robotic surgery has emerged in recent years as an important tool to increase the number of surgical approaches for the surgeon who faces abdominal wall hernias. Video-assisted and robotic surgery may represent a consistent improvement in options available for the surgeon involved in wall hernia repair. Current robotic surgical techniques present several of the benefits of common laparoscopic surgery features (such as low invasiveness and fast recovery), and adds some other specific benefits, such as more dynamic and precise movements and a much better view of the operatory field. Robotic Surgery for Abdominal Wall Hernia Repair is intended to help surgeons to manage this disease from another point of view and to choose the best procedures in each case, pushing medical practice to another level of decisions, investigation and follow up, considering the use of new technologies in robotic surgery. It intends to be a reference manual to medical practitioners who has surgical skills in their backgrounds, but that are not familiar with the use of minimally invasive procedures for abdominal wall complex defects.Table of ContentsChapter 1 Preparing Robotic Program and Surgeon Training Regimen for Hernia and Abdominal Wall.- Chapter 2 Robotic Setup.- Chapter 3 Robotic Repair of Upper Abdominal Hernias.- Chapter 4 Robotic Repair of Lower Abdomen Hernias.- Chapter 5 Robotic Ventral Hernia Repair from a Lateral Approach.- Chapter 6 Applicability on Robotic Parastomal Hernia Repair.- Chapter 7 Pelvic Defects.- Chapter 8 Post-operative Pain.- Chapter 9 Quality of Life Study of Patients Submitted to Anterior Abdominal Wall Laparoscopic Hernioplasty.- Chapter 10 Anatomical Dissection for Adhesions.- Chapter 11 Miscellaneous — Meshes and Sutures.- Chapter 12 Molecular Biology.- Chapter 13 Anesthesia for robotic surgery.

Book SynopsisThis edition of the SAGES Manual of Hernia Surgery aligns with the current version of the new SAGES University MASTERS Program Hernia Surgery pathway. This manual serves as a curriculum for participants in the MASTERS Program as well as a modern text on hernia surgery for all learners. Hernia surgery is one of the fastest developing fields in general surgery today. There have been rapid advancements in hernia techniques in recent years, making most prior texts on the subject obsolete. These advancements involve significant evolution in both the techniques and strategies for hernia repairs, as well as the tools used to achieve these means. This text thoroughly addresses the multiple component separation techniques and options for locations of mesh repairs. It also discusses the revolution of hernia repair being facilitated by robotic surgery, which allows increased access to minimally invasive techniques for surgeons and thus increased access to minimally invasive surgical repairs for patients. This manual will be a valuable resource for interested surgeons to understand the variety of potential approaches to individual hernias, and to individually tailor the care of the hernia patient.Trade Review“This will be used by trainees at all levels ‐‐ residents and fellows ‐‐ as well as practicing surgeons who wish to expand or solidify their knowledge in the field. … This is an extremely valuable and unique contribution. There is, currently, a plethora of books about hernia repair, but there is nothing like this book.” (Carol Scott‐Conner, Doody's Book Reviews, May 31, 2019)Table of ContentsSAGES University MASTERS PROGRAM: Hernia Pathway.

Book SynopsisThis book is intended as a definitive, state of the art guide to robotic surgery that summarizes the field for surgeons at all levels. More specifically, its goals are threefold: to review the basics of robotic surgery, including fundamental principles, technology, operating room setup, and workflow; to describe and illustrate the procedures most commonly performed in a robotic operating room; and to discuss key issues relating to cost, adoption, and training. Procedures from many surgical disciplines are included, which will aid robotic surgeons in supervising and assisting colleagues in these disciplines and simultaneously heighten their awareness of the tricks and tools used in other disciplines that can be retasked for their own purposes. In addition, the future prospects for robotic surgery, including anticipated developments in equipment, are discussed. The Textbook and Atlas of Robotic Surgery will be an excellent aid for residents and fellows entering the field, as well as a welcome update on recent progress for practicing robotic surgeons and an ideal primer for senior surgeons adapting these new technologies to their current practice.Trade Review“This is a nice book for surgeons who seek to add a robotic component to their practice. It is thorough in the discussion of the background issues which must be addressed and it does a nice job of describing the majority of operations that can be completed with robotic platforms.” (Peter Nau, Doody's Book Reviews, January, 25, 2019)​Table of ContentsHistory of Robots and Robotic Surgery.- Robotic Operating Rooms.- Developing a Robotic Surgical Program.- Legal Aspects of Setting-up a Robotic Program.- Financial Considerations in Robotic Surgery.- Visualization in Robotic Surgery.- Workflow in Robotic Surgery.- Anesthetic Implications of Robotic Surgery: Positioning and Access.- Urgent and Emergent Conversions in Robotic Surgery.- Hybrid Robot-assisted Surgery.- Robot-Assisted Partial Nephrectomy.- Robot-Assisted Radical Prostatectomy.- Robot-Assisted Adrenalectomy .- Robot-Assisted Laparoscopic Radical Cystoprostatectomy and Anterior Exenteration.- Robotic Pelvic and Retroperitoneal Lymph Node Dissection.- Hysterectomy with Bilateral Salpingo-oophorectomy.- Radical Hysterectomy.- Robotic-Assisted Sacrocolpopexy.- Total Gastrectomy.- Radical Distal Subtotal Gastrectomy and D2 Lymphadenectomy for Gastric Cancer.- Multiport and Single-Site Robotic Cholecystectomy.- Colectomy.- Robotic Total Colectomy.- Robotic Low Anterior Resection.- Transanal Excision.- Robotic Distal Pancreatectomy.- Robotic Pancreatoduodenectomy.- Robotic Pyloric Preserving Pancreaticoduodenectomy.- Liver Resection: Right Lobectomy.- Robotic Partial Hepatectomy.- Robot-Assisted Bariatric Surgery.- Robotic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass.- Robotic Operations for Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease.- Heller Myotomy.- Robot-Assisted Minimally Invasive Esophagectomy (RAMIE): The Ivor Lewis Approach.- Robotic Pulmonary Resections.- Robotic Mediastinal Surgery.- Transoral Robotic Surgery.- Robotic-assisted Ventral Hernia Repair.- Inguinal Hernia Repair.- Robotic Transaxillary Thyroidectomy: A Modified Protocol for the Western Medical Community.- Thyroidectomy: Robotic Facelift Approach.- Transaxillary Robotic Modified Radical Neck Dissection.
