Evidence-based medicine is now firmly established in the lexicon of modern health care. In "The Evidence for Plastic Surgery" the diverse spectrum of plastic surgical practice is called to account by a cross-examination of the available evidence in support of many of the common treatment protocols and surgical procedures in everyday use. The result is a text that makes an important contribution to some of the contentious debates within the speciality and details the critical appraisal of new or developing techniques. This is a unique and invaluable reference source for senior doctors and for those in training, not only in plastic surgery but also in a variety of other closely aligned specialities including general and orthopaedic surgery.

This atlas presents a collection of richly illustrated teaching cases. It covers the fundamentals of orthopedic oncology complemented with relevant aspects that are demonstrated using individual cases. In a specialty that deals with a relatively smaller number of cases compared to tumors of other systems, this atlas prepares readers for clinical practice by combining a problem-based learning (PBL) approach, which lies on the continuum between structured and guided learning, with theory and practical insights. The book is divided into sections, arranged according to anatomical regions and the reconstruction type. Each section focuses on a specific anatomical region, and each case presentation includes the basic clinical history, basic principles, preoperative, perioperative and radiographic images, a pitfall list, treatment strategy, technical pearls, outcomes and complications. For each region the authors discuss both the biological and non-biological reconstruction techniques. The book is designed to actively involve the reader, making it an invaluable tool for all orthopedic surgeons confronted with oncologic surgery. The book is intended for trainees in orthopedics, orthopedic oncology fellows as well as practicing consultants.

This textbook addresses the growing international need for a practical manual that teaches physicians how to apply cold atmospheric pressure plasma (CAP) in the day-to-day provision of patient healthcare. The book introduces readers to the concept of CAP, how it works, and how safe it is, before describing several diseases and other medical indications for its application. The book subsequently provides guidelines for daily clinical practice, e.g. for treating chronic wounds, decontaminating infected skin lesions, and rendering multi-resistant bacteria inert, as well as a detailed overview of plasma devices. In closing, it addresses organizational aspects, which are essential to cultivating and maintaining quality standards in the application of cold medical plasma. This textbook offers a unique educational resource and provides relevant information on plasma medicine as an emerging multidisciplinary discipline. Practitioners will appreciate this integrated, comprehensive guide, which is also suitable for advanced students of medicine and dentistry, and for nurses serving on plasma-assisted medical teams.

Seit dem Erscheinen des "Handbuches der KOtlmetik" sind fast drei Jahrzehnte verflossen. Trotz dem seither eine Reihe ausgezeichneter einschlagiger Bucher veroffentlicht wurde, schien es bei der immer groBer werden den Bedeutung der Kosmetik in der Medizin und im sozialen Leben an der Zeit, das reichhaltige kosmetische Wissen auf breiterer Grundlage zu behandeln. Der Verlag hat es nun ver sucht, diesen Stoff lexikographisch anzuordnen, um so dem Leser ein Nachschlagewerk in die Hand zu geben, - das ihm eine rasche, sichere Oricntierung in allen einchlagigen Fragen ermoglicht. 1m Interesse der Einheitlichkeit muBten gewisse Abschnitte, sowohl auf medizinisch-pharmakologischem wie popular-kosmetischem Gebiete, zusammenhangend abgehandelt werden. So wurde auch Wert darauf gelegt, die kosmetische Pharmakologie in starkerem MaBe, als dies gewohnlich ublich ist, zu be tonen, um es dem Leser zu ermoglichen, sich uber die Wirkung der einzelnen Stoffe zu orientieren und auch neue Kombinationen zu finden . . Ahnlich wurde es mit gewissen technischen Details gehalten, deren Bedeutung bisher nicht richtig eingeschatzt worden war. Nicht nur derm1ttologische Fragen, sondern auch einschlagige Kapitel aus anderen Teildisziplinen wurden einbezogen, auch Methoden der Laienkosmetik fanden ausfiihrliche Behandlung, um auch auf diesem Gebiet hinreichende Information zu bieten. Die kosmetisch-chirurgische Operationstechnik fand, durch zahlreiche Abbildungen illustriert, ge buhrende Berucksichtigung, solI doch der Kosmetiker wenigstens die Indikation und den Gang einer Operation kennen, auch wenn er sie nicht selbst ausfiihrt. Es ist nicht leicht, die Grenze zwischen Dermatologie und reiner Kosmetik zu ziehen, noch schwerer, aus der ungeheuren Fulle von Praparaten die richtigen auszuwahlen."

This book is a concise, easy-to-use multi-choice question and answer resource in oculoplasty for ophthalmologists undertaking exams in this sub-specialty. Each chapter contains a short didactic summary of the topic followed by MCQs and answers. References to the full-text book Oculoplastic Surgery: A Practical Guide to Common Disorders are also included in the answer section of each chapter. This unique format allows readers to dip into MCQs to practice for exams while also providing clear references of where to find chapters from a larger text. This book includes MCQs that examine the interaction between oculoplasty, ophthalmic sub-specialties (pediatrics, cataract, refractive, neuro, glaucoma) and other clinical areas including ENT, maxillofacial, dermatology, general plastic surgery and psychiatry. Consultants, surgeons and trainees from all ophthalmic specialties and sub-specialties will find this book to be an indispensable resource for exam revision in oculoplasty.

This book covers an up-to-date review of advances in the management strategies for patients with breast cancer and their co-morbidities. Oncoplasty has become the standard of care for breast conservation surgery and can lead to improving aesthetic outcomes of breast cancer surgery, without compromising oncological outcomes. The goal of the text is to increase the competencies and performance of healthcare professionals involved in treating this patient population, which will ultimately improve the aesthetic outcomes, quality of life and overall survival of patients with breast disease and breast cancer. Written by experts in the field, chapters address a wide range of breast surgery techniques that help the general surgeon provide improved oncologic and aesthetic results for patients. The authors have detailed not only best practice for conventional procedures but also new and evolving techniques. Oncoplastic Breast Surgery Techniques for the General Surgeon serves as a valuable resource not only for medical students but also for the general surgeon seeking to improve results in private practice and for professors learning and teaching new breast surgery techniques.

This book presents the essential steps involved in diagnosing and treating pain due to peripheral nerve injury and compression. In the first chapter, the relevant anatomy and diagnostic tools to identify peripheral-nerve-related issues are described. The main part of the book, however, deals with the surgical techniques to address specific types of peripheral nerve pain, e.g. neuroma, thoracic outlet or migraine. A step-by-step, practical approach is provided, including important aspects to consider both pre- and post-op. The procedures presented are minimally-invasive and maximally effective. Each chapter features detailed surgical illustrations and anatomical images. Chronic pain control is a growing need and minimally invasive yet effective surgical techniques, combining the competences of neurosurgery, plastic surgery, orthopedics, general surgery, pain management and neurology are in high demand. The increasing demand on the part of patients suffering from neuropathic pain is to date not matched by adequate practical training in peripheral nerve surgery to control pain. The authors are experts in this discipline "from head to toe" and present a valuable guide that provides medical students and experienced clinicians alike with useful information for their daily practice.
