Difficult Decisions in Thoracic Surgery: An Evidence Based Approach by Mark K. Ferguson Hardcover - 532 pages Shipped in CLICK HERE Cat.# DA-SUR3 $207.25 BUY Published:  2007    ISBN:  9781846283840

Difficult Decisions in Thoracic Surgery: An Evidence-Based Approach describes the recommended ideal approach, rather than customary care, in selected clinical situations. Brief chapters are devoted to a specific question or decision in general thoracic surgery that is difficult or controversial. Although some of the content may be available in major thoracic texts, rarely are such questions posed specifically and analyzed according to the level of supporting evidence available. The chapters contain both evidence-based recommendations and descriptions of surgeons’ personal practices based on their experience and the published literature.

• The use of standard format for posing the question in each chapter permits the reader to rapidly identify useful clinical guidelines
• Each chapter contains a standard algorithm illustrating the decision analysis leading to the author's conclusions, enabling presentation of conclusions in a graphic manner
• Describes the recommended ideal approach, rather than customary care
• Rarely are such difficult or controversial questions of general thoracic surgery posed so specifically and analyzed according to the level of supporting evidence available

Chapters are organized around clearly identified recommendations, making possible the identification of useful material at a glance. Over 50 different topics are presented, including a review of available evidence and a general discussion of recommended practice.

This book is a valuable reference source for practicing surgeons, surgeons in training, and educators.

A History of Limb Amputation by John Kirkup Hardcover - 190 pages Shipped in CLICK HERE Cat.# DA-SUR4 $289.95 BUY Published:  2007    ISBN:  9781846284434

First part of the book presents a unique and coherent study of natural amputations due to congenital absence, disease, frostbite, toxins, domestic and wild animal trauma, and non-medical reasons related to punitive, ritual and legal decisions. Following the introduction of gun powder in the 15th century, surgical action became significant. The subsequent development of surgical amputation and its difficulties form a major part of the book, summarising the evolution of the control of haemorrhage and infection, pain relief, techniques, instrumentation, complications, prostheses, results and case histories.

• Highlights the long preamble of natural, accidental, tribal and punitive dismembering, as a prelude to surgical amputations
• Includes auto-amputation (by trapped patients themselves), not uncommon even today
• Debates the interacting philosophy, religious beliefs and concepts of society, patients and surgeons

In addition, alternative procedures, increasingly important in the last two centuries, are debated and factors associated with self-amputation in extremis, not as rare according to press reports, are also examined.The book will be of interest to medical and social historians, surgeons, limb-fitting surgeons and prosthetists, anaesthetists, limb manufacturers, social historians, ethnologists and amputees.

Navigational Surgery of Facial Skeleton & Skull Base by Alexander Schramm, Nils-Claudius Gellrich, and Rainer Schmelzeisen Softcover - 224 pages Shipped in CLICK HERE Cat.# DA-SUR5 $279.95 BUY Published:  2007   ISBN:  9783540223573

Computer assisted techniques in the surgery of the facial skeleton and the skull base are depicted
for the very first time in this atlas of navigational surgery. Experienced surgeons as well as trainees will benefit the detailed and well illustrated information on the use of computer technology in clinical routine as well as the experimental basis of intra-operative accuracy. The authors' inventions in the field of non-invasive registration have led to a widespread use of navigational surgery in this field, so that the time is right for a comprehensive publication on the topic. The interdisciplinary approach, e.g. in skull base surgery, brings together maxillofacial, plastic, ENT, and neurosurgeons. A new method of highly accurate non-invasive referencing is demonstrated for multiple use in the various disciplines, including the rapidly growing field of dental/oral implantation. Clinical cases illustrate the practical use of the technique.

Surgical Complications Diagnosis and Treatment by Nadey S Hakim, and Vassilios E. Papalois Hardcover - 900 pages Shipped in CLICK HERE Cat.# DA-SUR12 $230.85 BUY Published:  2007    ISBN:  9781860946929

As Professor Owen H Wangensteen, one of the greatest academic surgeons of the 20th century, said: "You are a true surgeon from the moment you are able to deal with your complications." Prompt and accurate diagnosis, as well as effective treatment, of surgical complications is one of the most important elements of surgical practice. This is today more important than at any other time, since over the last 20 years we have witnessed the development of new surgical sub-specialties, the performing of complicated operations in very challenging patients, the introduction of new technologies in surgical practice and, last but not least, an increasing interest in monitoring the quality, medico-legal implications, and ethical dimensions of surgical practice and malpractice.

• The first comprehensive presentation of surgical complications of all specialities
• Systematic presentation of the clinical presentation, diagnosis and treatment of each complication
• Special emphasis on the history as well as on the medico-legal and ethical issues related to surgical complications
• The chapters are written by world experts with vast experience in the individual fields
• Includes high quality medical illustrations and extensive tables summarizing important data

As surgical complications have been presented briefly and sporadically in various books and only as a small part of chapters dealing with surgical techniques, there is a pressing need for a modern textbook dealing with the diagnosis, treatment, auditing, medico-legal implications and ethical problems related to surgical complications.
