Surgical Emergencies in Clinical Practice
by Tahwinder Upile Iqbal Shergill Manit Arya Neehar Arya Prokar DasguptaWith the introduction of new post-graduate Medical training in the UK, virtually all doctors will be exposed to some form of surgical training prior to specialization. Many of these doctors will have little exposure to surgical emergencies in medical school. Thus, they may unnecessarily refer to a senior doctor when not needed, or catastrophically neglect a patient needing urgent surgical opinion. Surgical Emergencies in Clinical Practice is a compact resource which allows any clinician, without previous surgical knowledge, to be able to make an accurate diagnosis and have a treatment plan for the whole spectrum of surgical emergencies. The essential steps of initial management of all surgical emergencies is outlined in a manner that can be used on a day-to-day basis for clinical management. Written by experts in the field, Surgical Emergencies in Clinical Practice is a valuable tool for all junior doctors and medical students in the UK, Europe, Asia and North America. It will also be of interest to nurse practitioners, general practitioners and allied health professionals managing these patients.

The Surgical Examination of Children
by John M. Hutson Spencer W. BeasleyThis book demonstrates clearly how to perform a clinical examination in the infant or child with a surgical condition. While most textbooks of pediatric surgery focus on the pathological classification and overall management of disease, in clinical practice physicians and surgeons usually use a problem-oriented approach to clinical diagnosis. Surprisingly, this is rarely taught to students. The authors attempt to redress this imbalance by providing a clinical approach to the patient which can be learned with a minimum of factual information. The book should therefore remain useful to the practitioner throughout his or her medical career. It includes detailed coverage of the usual presentations of common diseases, but does not attempt to cover all aspects of the presentations of uncommon diseases unless their recognition is important for the well-being or survival of the child. Generously illustrated, this is a book for all who are learning the art of pediatric surgical diagnosis.

Surgical First Assistant: The Essentials of Practice
by Julie Quick Mark OwenA critical examination of an increasingly vital role in surgical practice Surgical first assistants (SFAs) are registered nurses or operating department practitioners (ODPs) who play a crucial role in the operating theatre during surgical procedures. Under the direct supervision of the operating surgeon, an SFA provides continuous skilled assistance, performing a range of established responsibilities to assist the surgeon predominantly in the intraoperative phase of the patient’s journey, but also in the pre- and post-operative phases. The role affords theatre nurses and ODPs the opportunity to expand their clinical responsibilities and provide assistance for patients undergoing surgery by undertaking post-qualifying education. More recently, an understanding of the knowledge and skills of the SFA role has been embedded into the undergraduate curricula for ODPs. Surgical First Assistant: The Essentials of Practice provides a comprehensive and critical examination of the knowledge, skills and behaviours that are required by SFAs to ensure patient safety and quality care. Beginning with a historical overview of the SFA role, it proceeds to outline the legal, ethical and professional aspects of the role which allows the practitioner to critically reflect on SFA practice. It also offers an in-depth analysis of the SFA’s responsibilities as defined by the Perioperative Care Collaborative through each phase of the patient’s perioperative journey from pre-operative assessment to post-operative pain management. Surgical First Assistant readers will also find: A text aligned with UK national standards and best practice Detailed discussion of topics including pre-operative preparation with the operating theatre, assisting with haemostasis, and many more An approach which explores both the technical and non-technical skills required by the SFA Surgical First Assistant is ideal for registered nurses, ODPs, student and apprentice operating department practitioners.
Surgical Guide to Circumcision
by Assaf Yosha Martin Koyle David A. BolnickSurgical Guide to Circumcision is a compendium of the who, what, where, why, and most importantly, the how of circumcision. Given that one third of the world's males have undergone this most ancient of surgical procedures, a contemporary resource on the subject is in order.

Surgical Management of Cleft Lip and Palate: A Comprehensive Atlas
by Nasser NadjmiThis atlas provides comprehensive, step-by-step guidance on surgical management of the cleft lip, alveolus, and palate. In particular, it demonstrates how an anatomical approach to management provides a sound basis for dealing with the many variations in cleft type. The displaced anatomical borders and landmarks, as well as the functional and aesthetic units, are fully described. The art of dissecting them from their abnormal position is illustrated, and their reconstruction into a normal and functional shape is meticulously explained. The main treatment philosophy underlying the described approach is that children born with cleft deformity should be “cleftless” by the time they enter the first grade of primary school. They must have normal speech. They should not have a fistula or residual cleft in the palate and/or the alveolus. And they should have a normal face so that they can confront the challenges of life without cleft stigmata. Both novice and more experienced surgeons will find this atlas to be a valuable aid to optimal treatment, and readers will have online access to videos of the described surgical procedures.
Surgical Management of Elderly Patients
by Antonio CrucittiThis volume offers a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of the major surgical procedures performed on elderly patients. With advancing age the conditions that require surgery normally increase in incidence, and today all surgeons around the globe can be considered “geriatric surgeons”. The latest anesthesiological procedures, the technical improvements and an increased medical knowledge of the comorbities impact have brought extraordinary advances in this field, but this should not allow us to forget that a careful assessment of elderly patients is necessary before undertaking surgery, since also the simplest surgical procedures could alter the delicate psychophysical equilibrium of these “frail” patients. Introduced by a demographic panorama and analysis, the book describes the anesthesiological management, the preoperative assessment and preparation, the perioperative care, and hemostasis control connected with the main surgical pathologies: gastrointestinal, endocrine, neoplastic, vascular and hepato-biliary, as well with traumatic and non-traumatic emergencies. It will be an invaluable, easy-to-use resource for clinicians, researchers and trainees alike.
