DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
Surgical residents receive no formal training on reading imaging
studies. Imaging For Surgical Disease was written to be a tool they can
carry with them to help identify common surgical disease.Authored
by surgeons instead of radiologists, this quick reference guide only
presents the information surgeons will need to effectively use radiology
to help confirm the diagnosis.Using bulleted text, this quick reference
covers 100 conditions in all areas general surgical residents will see
in their training. Each section of the book concentrates on one specific
disease process and includes images demonstrating positive findings.
Each image is clearly labeled to highlight the area of interest as well
as surrounding anatomy for reference points. Designed to fit in a
resident’s pocket, this compact handbook will help the reader get a
better understanding of which diagnostic imaging is appropriate for each
patient and how it should be ordered.
Master Techniques in Surgery: Esophageal Surgery patterned after
the successful Master Techniques in Orthopaedic Surgery series, this
series covers other major surgical subspecialties. This volume delivers
current, practical, and authoritative information of all aspects of
esophageal surgery—in a step-by-step format that ensures accuracy
and minimizes the risk for error. Critical information includes
indications and contraindications for each procedure, preoperative
planning, outcomes, complications, and follow-up. Authoritative
perspectives share tips and advice from acknowledged masters in each
procedure. Abundant color illustrations provide a surgeon’s-eye-view
of the procedures, highlighting key anatomic structures and surgical
techniques.A convenient, fully searchable website provides the full text
and illustrations from the book, along with a helpful procedural video.
