Neuroendovascular and neurointerventional therapy is a specialty
where disseminating personal knowledge and expert opinion is
extremely important, owing to the lack of large-scale clinical
trials. The management of complications that occur during or
immediately after therapeutic interventions is particularly
challenging because these can significantly affect patient
outcomes. This book presents how various complication scenarios are
handled by well-qualified authorities in the field of
neurointervention from three disciplines: neurology, neurosurgery,
and neuroradiology. Contributors describe their management of these
complications, focusing on the common principles that all the
specialists agree on, and give tips and tricks for 'bailout'
procedures to help get the practitioner out of trouble. The book is
well illustrated and covers the full range of neuroendovascular and
neurointerventional procedures. The book will appeal to
neurointerventionists, neuroradiologists, stroke physicians,
neurosurgeons and vascular surgeons for its practical approach to
managing these commonly encountered problems.

This book by Madbak and Dangleben has collated lot of information
that has been presented and published in many disparate arenas into
a single easy to read source. In an area where there is more
experience and "favorite techniques" than true evidence based
answers, they provide a wealth of information along with
outstanding photographic support that makes this an excellent
resource for all surgeons caring for this population. Similar to
many things in life, when treating patients with the open abdomen
one size or methodology does not fit all and this book will
assuredly contain at least one possible answer to your patient's
problem. Although the numbers of "open abdomens" are decreasing due
to changes in resuscitation and transfusion practices, it still
represents a complex complication that can be challenging to deal
with. This ambitious textbook on the management of the open abdomen
provides a practical approach for addressing this complex problem.
One of the more unique aspects of this textbook is its detailed
"How to" approach for the wide variety of techniques utilized in
the management of the open abdomen. While there may be no consensus
as to what constitutes the optimal management of the open abdomen,
this book articulates a number of options and their advantages.
Most importantly, it provides high quality photographs that enhance
the step by step "How to" approach of the text. More recent
developments including using biologic mesh, implementing complex
abdominal wall reconstruction and utilizing minimally invasive
endoscopic techniques are described. This book is not only
appropriate for all practicing surgeons that deal with this complex
issue, but is also relevant for residents and fellows who are just
getting their first exposure to open abdomens.
The skin is the largest human organ system. Loss of skin integrity
due to injury or illness results in a substantial physiologic
imbalance and ultimately in severe disability or death. The most
common cause of significant skin loss is thermal injury, followed
by trauma and chronic ulcerations. Over the past decades
extraordinary advances have been made in the understanding of
cellular and molecular processes of wound healing and the
pathobiology of chronic wounds. This knowledge has led to wound
care innovations that facilitate more rapid closure of wounds with
better functional and aesthetic outcome. A sensible and
resource-saving utilization of these innovative technologies
requires a broad knowledge of these processes and innovations. This
book intends to give an overview about today's wound care
developments in tissue engineering and skin replacement. It
presents a variety of indications and diversities of clinical
applications to help the surgeon select a specific procedure for
each clinical situation.
