Surgical Palliative Care describes the principles and practice of
surgery in the context of palliative and supportive care. Surgery
is often considered too invasive to be useful in palliation and
clinicians instinctively turn to radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and
other drugs. Surgery, with increasingly minimal access techniques,
may be simpler and less invasive than other treatments and produces
excellent palliation. Indeed, most types of surgery are not
curative and the aim of this book is to alert all concerned with
palliative care to the usefulness and appropriateness of a surgical
option. The text is divided into two sections; the first dealing
with general issues, varying from quality of life measurement to
spirituality, and the second illustrating their application in
different specialties of surgery ranging from neurosurgery to
urology. The book ends with a challenge to surgeons to change their
perspective from curative surgery, in terms of simply cure or
failure, to improvement in quality of life and relief of symptoms.
Aimed primarily at palliative medicine and pain consultants, this
book will also appeal to surgeons who increasingly need to know
more about palliative care.
