Current Concepts in General Surgery by William R. Wrightson Pdf

This book is designed to filter the medical minutia into an easy to read and follow text in General Surgery. As I went through my training in General Surgery, I found that as the in-service training exam approached I was never quite prepared. I just couldn't bring myself to read a 2000 page textbook the month before the exam. The Surgery Residents at the University of Louisville set out to develop a succinct and informed review for the in-training exam. We included the essential information needed to do well on the Board exam without overwhelming the reader. This book is written for residents by residents to enhance your understanding of the art and science of surgery. Carry it in your pocket and read between cases or quickly review a topic before teaching conference. I am sure you will find it informative and essential for preparation for the Surgery In-service Training Exam.

Current Concepts of Sleep Apnea Surgery by Thomas Verse,Nico de Vries Pdf

A key new reference dedicated to the surgical management of sleep-disordered breathing... The importance of unobstructed respiration in sleep, and the long-term risks of sleep apnea, cannot be overemphasized. The therapeutic efficacy of the widely prescribed "gold standard," CPAP, is compromised by low patient acceptance and compliance. In light of the limits of CPAP and other forms of conservative therapy (e.g., mandibular advancement devices), there is a growing tendency to explore and expand the role of surgery in the treatment of severe sleep apnea. New insights and developments in pathophysiology, surgical techniques, and implants have opened the way to increased success in treating sleep apnea surgically. This new work by leading international specialists provides a detailed, evidence-based approach to selected advanced surgical techniques, beginning with patient selection criteria, discussion of indications for and against surgery, choice of procedure (also in combinations), and more. Key Features: Systematic, practice-oriented approach to examination, diagnosis, and treatment Step-by-step description of surgical concepts and techniques Superbly illustrated with full-colored photographs and drawings Focus on those procedures that have been shown to be successful in specific situations Discussion of outcomes, success rates, risks, and potential complications; where evidence-based data are not available, expert opinion is provided Current Concepts of Sleep Apnea Surgery will be welcomed by residents, fellows, and board-certified surgeons in otorhinolaryngology and head and neck surgery.

Anesthetic Management in Pediatric General Surgery by Susan T. Verghese,Timothy D. Kane Pdf

This book highlights remarkable new endoscopic, laparoscopic, and thoracoscopic approaches to the removal of surgical lesions for different pathologic conditions under general endotracheal anesthesia in infants and children. It details how newer techniques in airway management, monitoring, regional nerve blocks for these innovative minimally invasive approaches have resulted in a decrease in intraoperative and postoperative morbidity and early recovery process after pediatric anesthesia. 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.

Current Concepts in General Thoracic Surgery by Lucio Cagini Pdf

The Aim of "Current Concepts of General Thoracic Surgery" is to provide a brief overview of several topics in this field. It includes a collection of contributions from many outstanding Authors who provide their knowledge and experience from many countries around the world. We apologize for the chapters reviewed that have were not chosen for publication in this book; however, according to the single centres experience, the final result offers thorough and precious information on the several topics evaluated by the Authors. The wide range of subjects discussed goes from CT assessment of solitary pulmonary and metastatic nodules to prospective studies of drug delivery in thoracic surgery including surgical risk prediction, stress reaction, robotic pulmonary and cardiac procedures, vascular and thoracic reconstruction techniques, thoracic trauma and mediastinal fistula. I believe that this book represents an enhancement in the knowledge and in the involvement of individuals dedicated to these areas of study. It is my duty and pleasure to thank colleagues who helped me in the interesting and stimulating review process; Dr. Stefano Pasquino for cardiac surgery and Professor Francesco Puma for his many worthwhile suggestions.

Mayo Clinic General Surgery by Jad M. Abdelsattar,Moustafa M. El Khatib,T. K. Pandian,Samuel J. Allen,David R. Farley Pdf

"As far back as elementary school, I can remember saving some of my best homework and tests in hopes that they would help my younger brother do well as he followed me in school. More than 50 years later, I am still seeking ways to provide an educational advantage to less experienced learners who seek knowledge and skill. This book was created to provide succinct and accurate information in a written, imaging, and audiovisual format that allows efficient access to surgical learners-especially those with just a few minutes to spare. Ultimately, I hope that this effort better prepares students, residents, and fellows for their surgical experiences and leads to better understanding with long-term retention"--
