商品簡介
With candor, humor, and political correctness aside, Schein's Common Sense describes the prevention and management of surgical complications, and reminds the reader that surgery is still an art which requires gut-based medicine in addition to the evidence-based. The editors' goal is to instill knowledge of a range of basic concepts, not only grounded in common sense, but gilded with the distilled collective wisdom of the contributors--experts who come from a variety of specialties, countries, and situations, from teaching hospitals to rural circumstances--in order to prevent misadventures and adverse outcomes. There are 26 chapters divided into two parts: general considerations and specific considerations. Part one includes definitions, general principles of prevention, hemostasis and bleeding, postop infections, the wound, leaking GI anastomoses, abdominal wall dehiscence, ileus, minimal access, dealing with patients, families, lawyers, and yourself, and the Third World, and rural settings. Part two covers the ICU, colorectal issues, hernias, gallbladder and bile ducts, appendix, pancreas, liver, breast, thyroid, parathyroid and adrenal glands, vascular bariatric, and pediatric surgeries, and urology, and trauma. The epilogue provides lessons learned from surgical complications. This unique book targets young surgeons. There are many figures, tables, photos, and cartoons, as well as a list of contributors and dedications. U.S. distribution by BookMasters.
