Contemporary medical strides have taken people to great surprise. Reconstructive medical surgery sees a surgical strategy with the concept of autogenesis vascularized nerve transfer systems. A pioneering effort has been taken by the author and we are hopeful that this volume would be of extreme importance to Orthopaedicians, Orthosurgeons and Microsurgeons. Color Atlas of Reconstructive Microsurgery is an eye opener to all those treating nerve disorder. The book teaches of surgical strategy and the nitty gritties involved in the correction of disorder through microsurgery. The main objective is on active hip extension and abduction for mobility. Orthopaedicians and students of orthopedics will find this atlas as a gold standard for optimum results. Gurvinder Singh Sawhney is an Orthopaedic and Reconstructive Microsrugeon.

Dr. Syngcuk Kim, a world leader in microsurgical endodontic techniques, introduces advancements to the dental community in this book. This atlas showcases the most recent advances in microsurgical techniques and instrumentation, in a full-color reference format with 380 brilliant illustrations. Current topics include a comparison of traditional surgery and microsurgery in endodontics, microsurgical instruments, operation of the microscope, soft tissue management, and retropreparation. The book includes actual case histories.

This surgical atlas, featuring a wealth of color photographs, provides detailed step-by-step descriptions of a wide range of open head and neck procedures, including radical and conservative (organ preservation, functional) approaches, aesthetic and reconstructive surgeries with the use of axial and free flaps, and surgery within the narrow confines of the skull base. Individual chapters are dedicated to surgery of the nose and paranasal sinuses, larynx and trachea, thyroid, salivary glands, mandible, face and lips, and neck, the repair of external nose defects, the use of axial and free flaps, and surgical treatment of temporal bone malignancy. The atlas will be a comprehensive practical reference for clinicians in the various specialties involved in head and neck surgery, including otolaryngologists, head and neck surgeons, plastic surgeons, maxillofacial surgeons and surgical oncologists. It will assist practitioners in achieving the high level of competence that is essential owing to the large number of vital structures in the head and neck region.

From reviews of previous volumes: Ranks with the very best previous attempts at codifying neurosurgical operations. The attention to detail is excellent... -The New England Journal of Medicine A valuable addition to any library...I would recommend it to all neurosurgeons with an interest in cerebrovascular disease...The operative photographs are of extremely high quality.-Chicago Medicine The final volume in the acclaimed series provides coverage of the anatomy, surgical approaches, and techniques involved in performing cerebral revascularization. Filled with over 2,000 vibrant images, it provides the visual instruction neurosurgeons need. Highlights include: A complete section detailing intracranial vasculature and anatomy of the spinal cord A case material section featuring a rich diversity of clinical situations to illustrate a variety of microsurgical techniques Thorough coverage of bypasses, reconstructions, and the use of endarterectomy to achieve revascularization Presentation of both surgical and endovascular techniques for re-establishing blood flow through the carotid and cerebral arteries Information on tumors of the spinal cord and spinal vascular malformations, particularly cavernous and arteriovenous malformations

In this completely revised and enlarged new edition, Professor Sanna and his team provide systematic demonstrations of the major lateral skull base approaches, drawing from 20 years of experience of the eminent Gruppo Otologico located in Piacenza, Italy.Key features: Introductory chapters on the general principles, instrumentation, and special considerations that characterize this type of surgery Discussion of the radiology of skull base lesions as it relates to surgery, with particular emphasis on findings that can influence the choice of surgical approach, alter the course of surgery, or affect the prognosis Actual demonstrations of the anatomy seen during the different surgical approache -- standard anatomy textbooks fail to address this issue For each approach, step-by-step descriptions of the surgical technique and numerous clinical cases representing the most commonly encountered lesions so that the reader receives a comprehensive understanding of how to perform the approach and what to expect during surgery Pearls and Pitfalls at the end of most chapters gathered from the vast number of cases managed throughout the years by the authors and included to help others avoid mistakes Over 1300 superb and instructive illustrations consisting of photographs of live surgery and cadaver dissections, radiologic images, and drawings This essential text also covers other must-know, highly advanced topics, including: Combined approaches providing the necessary route to manage certain extensive skull base tumors that represent particular challenges Management strategies for different skull base lesions (e.g., surgical vs. nonsurgicalmanagement, the different factors that determine the choice of the surgical approach, cases that are managed conservatively or with radiosurgery) Management of the internal carotid artery in skull base surgery, including the new technique of using stents to facilitate tumor dissection from the internal carotid artery This outstanding surgical atlas is invaluable for any surgeon who seeks not only to master the different surgical approaches but also to grasp the real essence of skull base surgery.Dr. Sanna is part of The Grupppo Otologico, a world-renowned specialist center for the diagnosis and medical and surgical treatment of diseases of the ear, skull base, facial nerve, head and neck, and paranasal sinuses.
