Thought as a primary reference on cutaneous ulcer management, written in a clear style by multidisciplinary experts and carefully edited and crafted, this volume covers of the complex topic of Wound Care, highlighting Pearls and Pitfalls in Skin Ulcer Management: from anatomy, epidemiology, pathogenesis and prevention, to diagnosis and selection of the best treatment options. This book also offers practical "how to do" advice and includes sections on cleaning and dressing, Negative-pressure wound therapy (NPWT), the latest on dermal substitutes, Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) and Minimal Invasive Modality (MIMo) in burns. Specific parts illustrate how to assess a clinical wound measurement, and the role played by imaging and telemedicine. The section on infection ranges from diagnosis and classification to drug treatments, diabetic foot management and osteomyelitis. Specific chapters focus on surgical intervention, ranging from grafting and micrografting, to surgical debridement, different reconstructive options and lower limb ulcers. The final part offers additional knowledge, as for example wound and scars in aesthetic surgery, in advanced illnesses or recurrence, pain management, rehabilitation and posture restoration. While moving from plastic surgery, this truly interdisciplinary and richly illustrated volume spans over many disciplines, and will be highly valued by all specialists that face ulcer wound care in their clinical experience, from plastic and vascular surgeons to other wound specialists and related health professionals, as physiotherapists and nurses. Written in a clear style and in an easy-to-read format, this volume will also be of use for courses and university masters teaching how to manage this complex pathology.

Double-outlet right ventricle (DORV) represents a great challenge for cardiac surgeons due to the absence of standard surgical approach and this book is the first complete manual detailing decision-making in all anatomical types of DORV: subaortic, subpulmonary, subarterial and noncommitted defects. It provides information regarding the molecular mechanisms and clinical consequences of the most important syndromes in patients with cyanotic congenital heart defects, arterial hypoxemia and myocardial remodeling.Double-Outlet Right Ventricle explains the most important operations using real anatomical specimens. This helps readers to understand these surgical principles from a surgeon¿s perspective. All operations are described according to indication, timing, intracardiac revision (structures that should be accessed during an operation), surgical technique, advantages and disadvantages. The book is therefore of importance to all cardiac surgeons and healthcare professionals working with this group of patients.

This atlas illustrates the characteristics of imaging after surgical spine treatment. The previous edition has been thoroughly updated and new surgical treatment options are presented. Furthermore, all clinical cases feature new images with the new sequences available from the manufacturers of Magnetic Resonance scanners. The imaging methods presented in the book are MRI, involving the use of routine basic sequences and advanced study techniques, and CT with and without administration of contrast medium. The modifications of the spine, both healthy and pathological, that can occur immediately after surgical treatment and in the long term, are described in detail.Atlas contents are organized in a general part, with the classification of spine pathology and the surgical treatment options, and a part with clinical cases enriched by a wealth of images.This easy-to-consult publication addresses neuroradiologists who wish to gain an adequate expertise in post-treatment examinations reporting in order to be able to perform an effective differential diagnosis.

This atlas is the first reference covering exclusively all aspects of sciatic pain. It is designed to serve as a brief and easy-to-comprehend review of the knowledge of spinal sciatica, with emphasis on classification, epidemiology, clinical presentations, neuroimaging, and treatment options. Sections on extraspinal sciatica and differential diagnosis of this multifaceted topic are also included. This atlas delivers more information in less space than traditional texts, allowing for a quick review of the essential facts of this clinical entity through plentiful images and tables. Pertinent imaging is combined with intraoperative photographs and hand-drawn illustrations to help readers visualize variable presentations and enhance their management. The comprehensive content of this richly-illustrated book covers different etiologies of sciatic pain seen in spinal, neurosurgical, neurologic, rheumatologic and emergency practices, divided into five thematic sections. After general considerations about sciatica and their differential diagnosis, the second section focuses on lumbosacral discogenic sciatica. The third section includes spinal non-discogenic sciatica. The fourth section focuses on extraspinal intrapelvic sciatica, and the fifth provides a description of the most important etiologies of extraspinal extrapelvic sciatica. Comprehensive and unique, Atlas of Sciatica is an excellent pictorial resource for neurosurgeons, spinal surgeons, neurologists, rheumatologists, and many other clinicians worldwide.

Modern adult brain surgery is a very new discipline. While many would consider the fathers of modern neurosurgery to be people like Victor Horsley, Harvey Cushing, and Walter Dandy, they all worked in the early 20th century, in an era before the creation of equipment now considered to be ¿game-changers¿ in the field of neurosurgery. Only towards the end of the 20th century did we see such critical advances as the operating microscope, the wide availability of CT and MRI imaging, neuro-endoscopy, stereotactic neuro-navigation, stereotactic radiosurgery, interventional neuro-endovascular techniques, and intra-operative neuromonitoring. It is not just that these advances occurred only recently, but it is even more recently that they have become accessible to many neurosurgeons. Furthermore, the scientific evidence for adult brain surgery in this new era is itself extremely new and a work in progress.There is certainly both an ¿art¿ and a ¿science¿ to the practice of medicine andalso to the practice of adult brain surgery. Furthermore, there is also a wide range of acceptable practices in regards to adult brain surgery, ranging from the most conservative/minimally invasive options to the most aggressive approaches. The author of Put Down the Knife, neurosurgeon Dr. Michael Brisman, is of the belief that the pendulum in medicine has swung way too far to the ¿art¿ side and away from the ¿science.¿ Furthermore, given the very high risks associated with adult brain surgery, the default choice of treatment should be the more conservative/minimally invasive options when possible. This book explores adult brain surgery from a more conservative vantage point, highlighting potential errors in thought related to decision-making and rationales for brain surgery as well as interpretation of the surgical literature. Focused chapters then dive into considerations of less invasive and even non-invasive approaches for various conditions of the brain, including tumors,cysts, hematomas, pain and movement disorders, skull base disorders, and much more.
