Description
Springer Manual of Pelvic Surgery 1st Editon 2011 Softbound by Maurice J. Webb
Surgery in the pelvis freely crosses the boundaries between the disciplines of general and gynecology surgery, colorectal surgery, orthopedic surgery, vasular surgery and neurosurgery. Touching on this wide range of disciplines, this book, written by members of the Division of Gynecologic Surgery at the Mayo Clinic, is a practical guide to the performance of pelvic surgery. It documents the various surgical techniques, described in a step-by-step manner and supplemented by informatic illustrations. The book moreover includes detailed descriptions of preoperative management and assessment, intraoperative management, postoperative care, and intraoperative and postoperative complications, including protocols for their management. Finally, reconstructive, plastic, and other special surgical techniques are also covered. Despite its breadth, the book is most of all a source of practical assistance to the surgeon, providing explicit details on how to handle specific problems. It describes the state of the art of techniques in use and refined at the Mayo Clinic. 1 Preoperative Care.- 2 Intraoperative Management.- 3 Postoperative Care.- 4 Intraoperative Complications.- 5 Postoperative Complications.- 6 Principles of Surgical Nutrition.- 7 Surgery of the Uterus.- 8 Surgery of the Cervix.- 9 Surgery of the Fallopian Tubes.- 10 Surgery of the Ovaries.- 11 Surgery of the Vagina.- 12 Surgery of the Vulva.- 13 Surgery of the Anus and Rectum.- 14 Surgery of the Urethra.- 15 Urinary Fistulas.- 16 Intestinal Fistula.- 17 Pelvic Exenteration.- 18 Radiation Injury to the Intestinal Tract.- 19 Urinary Incontinence.- 20 Endometriosis.- 21 Stomas.- 22 Retroperitoneal Surgery.- 23 Plastic Surgical Procedures.- 24 Miscellaneous Procedures.- Source of Redrawn Figures.
