Ultrasound for Surgeons

 


In recent years, technology has revolutionized the practice of surgery. As
part of this change, surgeon-performed ultrasound has become one of the
most integral parts of the surgeon's clinical practice. It is not surprising to
observe this current surge of interest in ultrasound by general surgeons because
surgeons are highly motivated to provide the best possible care for
their patients, including the use of the latest technologic advances in diagnosis
and treatment. Furthermore, ultrasound equipment is compact, affordable
and user-friendly so that extensive training is not required to master
focused ultrasound techniques. Cost containment initiatives by patients,
clinicians and third-party payers have encouraged the use of modalities, such
as ultrasound, that save time and money. Considering the unique qualities
of ultrasound...noninvasive, portable, rapid and easily repeatable..., ultrasound
is especially suitable to the surgeon's practice. The FAST has replaced
central venous pressure measurements for the detection of hemopericardium
and diagnostic peritoneal lavage for the detection of hemoperitoneum. Bedside
ultrasound detects a pleural effusion so well in critically ill patients that fewer
lateral decubutis X-rays are ordered. Ultrasound directed biopsy of breast
lesions is a common office procedure. Laparoscopic ultrasound allows for
tumor staging without formal celiotomy while ultrasound is an adjunct to
many hepatic and pancreatic procedures. Endoscopic and endorectal ultrasound
have added a new dimension to the assessment and treatment of many
gastrointestinal lesions. Color-flow duplex imaging and endoluminal ultrasound
have significantly expanded the diagnostic and therapeutic aspects of
vascular imaging.

Hepatobiliary Surgery


Hepatobiliary Surgery is a technical manual and not a textbook. Although
some chapters are robust in their discussion of anatomic and physiologic
detail, others are written in a purely "how to" style. At its core, the book is
written as a reference and guidebook for practicing surgeons, gastroenterologists,
and interventional radiologists with an interest in hepatobiliary diseases.
However, we believe it will also be of great value to medical students
on surgery clerkships, general surgery residents, and surgical oncology fellows
as they pursue excellence in their education and training.
Mastery of hepatobiliary surgery requires one to not only be an accomplished
surgical craftsman, but also a competent internist, knowledgeable
gastroenterology collaborator, and skilled interpreter of radiologic images.
No one medical discipline has a patent on knowledge and opinion, and
most complex hepatobiliary problems are best managed by securing the opinion
of experts in all disciplines before embarking on a treatment plan. This
book attempts to parallel that dialogue by collating the expertise, experience
and opinion of all of these disciplines and distilling it down into one volume.
Please note, this book is not gospel about how unique patients should
be managed, nor does it claim to present the only way in which various
operative procedures and interventions can be performed. Rather, this book
presents a strategy that works for us and can hopefully be utilized to enhance
your practice and the care of your patients.

Tips and Tricks in Laparoscopic Urology

Tips and Tricks in Laparoscopic Urology

Publisher: Springer
Publication Date: 2006-10-04
ISBN / ASIN: 1846281598

Book Description:
A compendium written by world leaders in laparoscopic urology from various teaching urological institutions in the US and UK who have contributed their tips and tricks in performing the various urologic procedures.
Each topic is limited to a few pages to produce a small and easy-to-read book. The book is extensively illustrated with line diagrams which are self-explanatory and greatly enhance the understanding various techniques, such as position of laparoscopic ports or technique of throwing a laparoscopic stitch.
Essential for urology residents, fellows, and practicing urologists, the book provides information that will be extremely useful in the performance of routine and advanced laparoscopic surgery, as well as when particular situations or difficult moments are encountered during surgery. While many journal articles may outline one author's preference for a certain technique or trick, until now, there has been no compilation of the techniques of several authors. This handbook of tips and tricks from multiple specialists will be invaluable to residents and urologists already practicing laparoscopy.

Publisher: Springer
Publication Date: 2005-07-01
ISBN / ASIN: 1852338121

Book Description:
This book reflects the meteoric increase in knowledge regarding bone remodeling including molecular understanding of osteoclast development, regulatory molecules such as cytokines, pathophysiology and pharmaceutical development to treat osteoclast function. Rapid publication of an up-to-date volume addressing these issues by experts in the field, an asset to any library of clinical endocrinologists and rheumatologists, is a valuable read for those entering the scientific arena of bone remodeling research. It integrates recent technological advances with foundation data to provide a comprehensive view of bone resorption, and also links information gained from the genetic and molecular to the physiological and clinical levels. It is addressed to clinical practitioners, nutrition scientists, researchers and students, who seek a fundamental understanding of this important subject. An invaluable publication for the community of medical specialists- internists, endocrinologists, nephrologists, orthopaedists- as well as dental, paramedical and nursing practitioners.

Pediatric Neurosurgery


Medical students and residents are often asked for a recommendation
of a pocket-sized pediatric neurosurgery text. We are delighted to be
offered the opportunity to help construct such a volume. The goal of this
work on this project is to provide a means, through the contributions of our
many collaborating authors, to become comfortable with the common problems
of pediatric neurosurgery in a single accessible book. hope that this
work will reflect well on our specialty and may,
perhaps, inspire an occasional student to delve a bit more deeply into a topic
of interest. We look forward to recommending this volume to students
and residents.

Book Description:

The second of a two-volume set which identifies the anatomical details visualized in the sectional imaging modalities. As a comprehensive reference, it is a great aid when interpreting images; schematic drawings of great clarity are juxtaposed with the CT and MRI images; anatomic structures are color-coded in the drawings to facilitate identification.

In this updated second edition, CT and MR images have been replaced with better quality substitutes.
