Surgery Books

This is a book that I recommend. It's very complete and at the same time it's very concise too. Lots of high quality images for the radiologists and a very good written text.

This is an excellent Atlas of basic and advanced laparoscopic techniques. It combines the knowledge of several experts with easy to follow diagrams to give the reader a good understanding of the various procedures. Highly recommended.

Every day we can see everyrhink new in science, but nothing is so fast how in medicine. Laparoscopic surgery is growing and it's necessary to note what is in advance to offer what's better to our patients. This book show us what's new, and project perspectives to the future. There's a complete revision that is importante today in laparoscopic surgery. Congratulations to the auctors!

The Atlas of Liver Transplantation is a beautiful text that presents the science and art of liver transplantation to the world of academic medicine and beyond. Dr. Molmenti cleverly incorporates detailed illustrations that go above and beyond what the limitations of photography can provide in descriptive medical education.

This text is not limited merely to surgical technique but is a comprehensive approach to the whole space of liver transplantation including the supportive disciplines of anesthesia and hematology.

As a student of the History of Organ Transplantation I found this book to be the current state-of-the state presentation of this discipline. Not only is this a "must have" for any surgical resident considering this advanced field but a useful inclusion to the book shelf to any surgical resident, medical student or lover of academic medicine.

The illustrations are very good. They are mostly drawings and the reader easily understands the structures. The text is rich enough to fulfill your needs for operation. Comments on the chapters are very useful to cover any defects of the chapter if there are any. Congratulations.

In this second edition of the classic Atlas of Minimal Access Spine Surgery (originally published as the Atlas of Endoscopic Spine Surgery), editors Regan and Lieberman provide the authoritative operative reference for both the novice and the experienced spine surgeon. This extensively illustrated new edition stands as a comprehensive thesis on the rapidly evolving field of minimally invasive spine surgery.

Greatly expanded over the previous edition, this updated volume is the most encompassing reference on the subject available today. It prepares surgeons to effectively meet the increased demand for minimal access spine surgery. With smaller incisions, less pain, shortened hospital stays, substantial savings in health care dollars, and lower morbidity, it is clearly the preferred method for both patient and surgeon.

Written by the world's foremost endoscopic surgeons, this thoroughly up-to-date volume provides expert advice, tips, and caveats, plus step-by-step operative guidance to the full range of current minimal access spine surgery techniques. Hundreds of photographs and precise illustrations, mostly in color, guide the surgeon through each major step of every procedure, detailing anatomic structure and instrument positioning.

The Atlas of Minimal Access Spine Surgery explores in detail those new procedures which have been developed to utilize recent advancements in fiber optics, versatile spinal implants, and computer image-guided assistance to improve outcomes in the management of spinal disorders. It incorporates such relatively new procedures as endoscopic scoliosis correction, micro-endoscopic discectomy, and the latest advances in artificial disc replacement. The authors examine every significant topic: anesthetic considerations, indications and contraindications, instrumentation and surgical systems, complications, outcomes, and more.

Completely updated and expanded, this new edition of the Atlas of Minimal Access Spine Surgery stands as the definitive volume for surgeons planning to take their skills to the highest level.

A very good resource book for the experienced surgeon or
the surgeon in training.

The Atlas of Neonatal Electroencephalography will allow the neurophysiologyst to be able to recognize within a clinical recording the individual elements to determine their significance; showing very nice samples, the authors emphasize specific components of the Neonatal EEG.Congratulations to Dr. Eli Mizrahi.

If simplicity and clarity are what you are looking for, then this is your book. Meyer takes all the standard approaches (pterional, orbital-frontal, etc.) and superbly illustrates them into a simple step by step manner. A chapter begins typically with basic discussion on indications and pertinent anatomy. This is followed by step by step illustrations from the skin incision to projections of various aneurysms or tumor removal. Also included are transphenoidal approaches along with percutaneous treatment for trigeminal neuralgia. Some of my favorite illustrations are the cranial base triangles (glassock's, parkinson's, etc) which are difficult to explain, but become simplistic with the excellent illustrations. Because of the book's clarity, 15 minutes of reading a chapter will make you very familiar with any of the procedures. This book is intended and suceeds in concisely providing the essential information for the neurosurgery resident. When I was a junior resident, my chief let me in on this treasure of a book. I choked on the price, but I never have regreted having this valuable resource.

Pterional approach is commonly used neurosurgical approach, especially anterior circulation aneurysmal surgery.

This book enables us to show the microsurgical anatomy of pterional approach, and surely useful for the neurosurgeons who just began microsurgery.
