DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
Operative Techniques in Transplant Surgery is the 7th standalone
volume of the Mulholland Operative techniques in Surgery Series. It is
a comprehensive text/atlas of procedures and techniques for transplant
fellows, practitioners, and general surgeons. The procedures are shown
in a consistent format of concise bulleted text, full color illustrations, and
intraoperative photography. Additionally, the photographs are paired
with illustrations for a more complete view of steps and techniques.
Templated chapters that cover workup, operative techniques, postop,
pearl/pitfalls, complications, and outcomes review topics such as kidney,
liver, biliary, pancreas, and lung transplantation.
To better reflect its new and expanded content, the name of the 4th
edition of Operative Anatomy has been changed to Essential Operative
Techniques and Anatomy. In this latest edition, the text’s focus on
clinically relevant surgical anatomy will still remain, but it is now
organized by anatomical regions rather than by procedures. Then to
further ensure its relevance as a valuable reference tool, the number of
chapters has been expanded to 134 and the color art program has also
been increased significantly. Written for surgical residents, this book
provides an up-to-date, easy-to-use reference for nearly all procedures
with which they will face in their residency. Providing a blend of both
surgical anatomy and a surgical atlas, this edition covers all Essential
Common procedures from the SCORE curriculum as well as many of
the Essential Uncommon procedures such as urgent operations seen in
general surgery practice.
