Dieser Buchtitel ist Teil des Digitalisierungsprojekts Springer Book Archives mit Publikationen, die seit den Anfangen des Verlags von 1842 erschienen sind. Der Verlag stellt mit diesem Archiv Quellen fur die historische wie auch die disziplingeschichtliche Forschung zur Verfugung, die jeweils im historischen Kontext betrachtet werden mussen. Dieser Titel erschien in der Zeit vor 1945 und wird daher in seiner zeittypischen politisch-ideologischen Ausrichtung vom Verlag nicht beworben.

Die ersten ernst zu nehmenden Versuche, dic Lungentuberlmlose durch chirurgische Eingriffe zu heilen, fallen in die Jahre 1888 und 1890. Damals trugen Quincke und C. Spengler uber cavernosen Lungenabschnitten die Thoraxwand ab, um dem Lungengcwebe eine ausgiebige Retraction zu ermoglichen. Allerdings musste dies chirurgische Verfahren zunachst vorubergehend zugunsten einer anderen Behandlungs methode zurucktreten. Es war dies die von Murphy und gleichzeitig unabhangig von Forlanini an gewandte Lungenkollapstherapie durch kunstlichen Pneumothorax. Der Wunsch, der chirurgischen Behandlung wieder ihre Rechte einzuraumen, trat sehr bald um so lebhafter hervor, als es sich zeigte, dass eine ganze Anzahl von Lungentuberkulosen der Pneumothorax therapie wegen bestehender Verwachsungen nicht zuganglich waren. Besonders Brauer beschaftigte sich viel mit diesen Fragen und kam zu der Uberzeugung, dass eine ausgedehnte Wegnahme der knochernen Thoraxwand ebenso einen Lungenkollaps hervorrufen musse, wie der kunstliche Pneumothorax. Seinem Vorschlage gemass operierte zunachst Friedrich, dann Sauerbruch, spaterhin Wilms eine grosse Anzahl von Fallen. Es war naturlich, dass sehr bald die Art des Eingriffes in der verschiedensten Weise modifiziert wurde, zumal da die zuerst angewandte Methode Friedrichs der totalen Brustwandentknochung eine ziemlich hohe Mortalitat aufwies. Friedrich nannte den Eingriff "Pleuropneumolysis thoracoplastica," wahrend jetzt der von C. Spengler herruhrende Name "Extrapleurale Thorakoplastik" der gebrauchliche ist. In den letzten Jahren sind an Tuberkulosen Eingriffe der verschiedensten Art vorgenommen worden. Besonders hat Sauerbruch in Zurich grosse Erfahrungen gesammelt und auf Grund seines Materials gewisse strittige Punkte klaren konnen."

Der Leser mage in den folgenden Mitteilungen keine kritiklose Dar- stellung der Methodik und bisherigen Ergebnisse der Registrierung des Herzschalles erwarten. Sie bezwecken vielmehr, ihm ldar und auf- richtig ein zum weitaus graDten Teil eigenes, kritisch gesichtetes Tat- sachenmaterial vorzulegen, nach dessen Studium er selbst imstande sein wird, sich iiber den heutigen Stand der Dinge ein Urteil zu bilden. Ich habe mIT von Anfang an kein Hehl daraus gemacht, daD VOl' allem die skeptische akustische Zergliederung der geschriebenen Kurven den einen Weg, hier voranzukommen, darstellt, zum anderen die Beobachtung auch der kleinsten Vorgange bei del' Aufnahme und die parallele Registrierung des Pulses, insbesondere die Schrift des SpitzenstoDes, eine klarende Methodik bedeutet. Die Mitteilungen ii ber die Schallschrift durch eine Zwischen wand hindurch werden wohl auch die letzten Zweifel an del' Tatsache, daD es heute schon unter giinstigen Umstanden maglich ist, reine Luftschallschwingungen des Herzschalles aufzuzeichnen, beseitigen. lch habe immer mehr die Dberzeugung gewonnen, daD der von mil' benutzte Apparat eine vor- treffliche Einrichtung dazu ist, und werde ihn deshalb, und weil sich die Angaben des zweiten Teiles fast nul' auf ihn beziehen, in erster Reihe hier beriicksichtigen, zumal fUr die anderen Verfahren, wie sich zeigen wird, noch keine evidenten Beweise ihrer Brauchbarkeit vorliegen. Die Methodik ist das Erste bei der Herzschallschrift, die Anwendung und Interpretation, wenn auch die Hauptsache, doch das Zweite. Mediz. -poliklin.

The Fundamentals of Spine Surgery first aims to investigate the efficacy of several therapeutic modalities in the modern treatment of spinal pathologies. Following this, the authors aim to estimate fusion by 3D CT scan in XLIFs applied in adult lumbar deformities, evaluating the clinical results related to fusion. The safety and effectiveness of minimally invasive-transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion in the treatment of lumbar degenerative spondylolisthesis is evaluated, highlighting the steps and technical procedures of this operation as well as its short and long-term outcomes. In the closing study, the authors compare the effectiveness of spino-pelvic parameters in minimally invasive posterior lumbar interbody fusion and traditional posterior open approach in the treatment of a prospective randomized series of high-grade adult isthmic spondylolisthesis.

This book highlights the differences, in terms of neoplastic dissemination pathways, between various types of thoracic cancers. It presents and discusses a comprehensive schematic overview of tumors of the lung parenchyma, of the mediastinum, of the pleura, and of the chest wall. For each tumor, it details the local spread and the lymphatic and vascular dissemination, and it describes the challenging staging of lung tumors with mutations. Illustrations and artwork enrich the content and help readers to understand and visualize tumor spread. The book is of great interest to professionals involved in the study, diagnosis and treatment of thoracic pathologies, as well as to residents in radiology, oncology and pulmonology.

This book outlines the state of the art in transradial intervention and illustrates case-based learning for the transradial access (TR access) technique, especially in complex lesions. Offering a practical guide, it includes essential tips and tricks on how to overcome anatomical complexities, how to avoid radial complications, multiple case-based learning for very complex PCI, etc. It also discusses the advantages of the TR intervention, such as reduced vascular access site complications and immediate patient mobilization. The authors, who work at respected transradial centers, share their extensive experience with TR intervention, providing a comprehensive review of current percutaneous interventions for cardiac surgeons and cardiothoracic surgical residents. Editor Yujie Zhou is a Professor at the department of Cardiology, Anzhen Hospital, Beijing, China. Editor Wei Liu is a physician at the same department. Editor Ferdinand Kiemeneij is an interventional cardiologist at Department of Cardiology, Tergooi Hospital, Blaricum, the Netherlands.

This book looks at specific vascular surgery questions that have arisen and where careful analysis is given according to the level of supporting evidence available. As new technology is introduced to treat the cardiovascular system, alternative therapies begin to challenge and also complement traditional vascular surgery. All chapters contain the PICO table to summarise specific characteristics relative to the questions posed in each chapter. Difficult Decisions in Vascular Surgery- An Evidence-Based Approach is a current and timely reference source for practicing surgeons, surgeons in training, and educators, that describes the recommended ideal approach, rather than customary care, in selected clinical situations.

Advances in surgical technique and broadening indications for complex gastrointestinal procedures, surgical management of thoracic, hepato-pancreato-biliary, and colorectal diseases continues to evolve, but morbidity continues to be a persistent problem. This book provides a comprehensive, state-of-the art, definitive reference for the diagnosis and management of difficult-to-manage complications following advanced gastrointestinal surgery. All chapters are written by experts in their field and include the most up-to-date clinical information from national and world leaders in their respective discipline. The text provides a practical, clinically useful guide that reviews risk factors for these complications and offers key information on how to avoid potentially high morbidity events in the peri-operative period. It also discusses the management of these problems when they do occur. With its helpful guidelines and "tricks of the trade" to avoid potential complications, this book is essential to all medical professions treating such patients. Gastrointestinal Surgery: Management of Complex Perioperative Complications is of great value and utility for general surgeons, thoracic surgeons, upper gastrointestinal surgeons, colorectal surgeons, hepato-pancreato-biliary surgeons, surgical oncology fellows, thoracic surgery fellows and upper level residents in general surgery.

The review of clinical scenarios in cardiothoracic surgery was edited by the Thoracic Surgery Residents Association (TSRA) and authored by more than 50 thoracic surgery residents from programs around the country with over 70 chapters. To ensure the highest level of accuracy and clinical relevance, each chapter was meticulously reviewed by an established faculty member, a section editor, and two main editors. The book includes topics on General Thoracic Surgery, Adult Cardiac Surgery, and Congenital Cardiac Surgery. The TSRA is an organization that represents all thoracic surgery residents in the United States.

This book originated as a senior design research project at the Colorado School of Mines. Michal Schafer took a very active interest in the acute aortic dissection after his surgical rotations, so we set this project up to investigate the biophysical aspects of aortic dissection and possible engineering perspectives to a treatment. This project lead to a number of options for treatment, and Michal's team is currently following up on one of these options with an engineering company. Since this was an undergraduate design course, the first goal of the course was to do a thorough review of the topic and current trends in treatment. This alone took almost a year. The students learned the basic cardiac anatomy, physiology, physics, and biology to be capable of understanding the literature and the science behind the acute aortic dissection. With all this investigation, it was only natural to combine the information into a book format to hand over to others who will work on the project in the future. Our hope is that this will lead to yearly updates of the book.

Advances in CT have enabled us to detect small lung cancers, which has changed the lung cancer surgery from lobectomy to a lesser lobar resection such as a segmentectomy or wedge resection. While wedge resection is a simple procedure, it has a higher risk of local recurrence of cancer than a lobectomy. On the other hand, segmentectomy is a well known curative surgery for small lung cancers. However, it is difficult to perform accurately because of its anatomical complexity, which makes surgeons hesitant to use it. The book "Illustrated Anatomical Segmentectomy for Lung Cancer" provides readers a detailed explanation of segmentectomy with numerous easy-to-understand color illustrations showing the precise segmental anatomies for each pattern of the procedure. To better illustrate an accurate anatomical segmentectomy, the text shows details of anatomy during segmentectomy. This can involve up to 25 patterns, each of which is shown in roughly 10 illustrations.

CT is an accurate technique for assessing cardiac structure and function, but advances in computing power and scanning technology have resulted in increased popularity. It is useful in evaluating the myocardium, coronary arteries, pulmonary veins, thoracic aorta, pericardium, and cardiac masses; because of this and the speed at which scans can be performed, CT is even more attractive as a cost-effective and integral part of patient evaluation. This book collates all the current knowledge of cardiac CT and presents it in a clinically relevant and practical format appropriate for both cardiologists and radiologists. The images have been supplied by an experienced set of contributing authors and represent the full spectrum of cardiac CT. As increasing numbers have access to cardiac CT scanners, this book provides all the relevant information on this modality. This is an extensive update of the previous edition bringing the reader up-to-date with the immense amount of updated content in the discipline.

"Near Misses in Cardiac Surgery," best-seller in its field when originally published, has been reissued with a new foreword by Denton A. Cooley, M.D., Surgeon-in-Chief, Texas Heart Institute. Now endorsed by contemporary leaders in cardiac surgery, extracorporeal perfusion, and cardiology, "Near Misses in Cardiac Surgery" has stood the test of time and will introduce a new generation of cardiothoracic surgeons and interventionalists to principles, timeless as they are essential, that enable the outcomes of cardiothoracic procedures, once performed only by surgeons in the operating room, to be successful in new hybrid suites during a transitional period in our history.

Historian Daniel Boorstin has said, "Trying to plan for the future without a sense of the past is like trying to plant cut flowers. No matter what the technical advances are, the same principles that facilitate successful outcomes in surgery (teamwork, communication, vigilance, standardization and simplicity of techniques, anticipation of the next step) apply as well to today's hybrid procedures.

Reading like a medical thriller, "Near Misses in Cardiac Surgery" presents synopses of 43 true cases in which the patients survived, in the expectation that the reader, cast as the surgeon, will determine the cause of the problem and solve it before the patient's demise. The next section identifies the problem and how it was actually resolved by the surgical team. Each case concludes with a detailed discussion and references.

"Near Misses in Cardiac Surgery" has become a resource for the Cardiothoracic Surgery Network's safety reporting system (www.CTSNet.org) and was the template used by CTSNet as a teaching tool for theanonymous reporting of near-disasters by cardiac surgeons from around the world.

Written to challenge the reader that the patient's fate depends upon his or her ability to make appropriate decisions quickly and under pressure, this book will continue to provide clinical insight, not only for experienced cardiac surgeons, fellows and residents, but for anesthesiologists, cardiologists, internists, medical students, and nurses, as well.

The book is meant for self revision on topics related to the heart and great vessels as well as the lungs and chest wall. Questions on the basic sciences include developmental abnormalities, normal anatomy and physiology, microbiology and pharmacology. Clinical questions include those related to managing conditions affecting the heart and lungs and mostly relate to the inter phase between medical and surgical management and their definitive surgical management.
The book gives insight into the way diseases of the heart, lung and chest wall are managed from a surgical perspective and may provide useful insight into the surgical management of these conditions to non-surgeon allied professional. It is certainly a useful study companion for the surgeon in training, especially those interested in cardiac or thoracic surgery. Whilst the specialist trainee in cardiothoracic surgery will be great beneficiary general trainees will find useful topics on which revision questions are based. The basic sciences section may even be useful for junior doctors and medical students.
The structure of the questions has been designed as mainly the multiple choice type as the author feels that they are more useful as an aide to revision. The last two chapters are in the form of 'Single Best Answer' type and 'Extended Matching Item' type questions for readers to familiarise themselves with these type of questions.
