Book Description
It is appropriate that a surgical teacher. Robert E. Hermann. M.D . . with a large experience in a specialized field should author the beautifully il lustrated Manual of StlrRery of the Gallbladder. Bile Ducts. and Exocrine Pancreas. This manual. which takes its place in the distinguished series sponsored by RiChard H. Egdahl, M.D . . is designed for the working sur geon. resident or practitioner. who wishes to refresh his memory or to bring himself abreast of current thinking and technics. The carefully planned format and the elegant color illustrations of Mr. Robert Reed per mit this with the expenditure of a minimum of time and effort. and sur geons who must operate on the organs and structures it covers will wish to have it available for reference. Stanley O. Hoerr. M.D. former Chairman. Division of Surgery Cleveland Clinic Chairman. Department of Surgery Fairview General Hospital Cleveland. Ohio Preface Operations on the gallbladder and bile ducts are among the surgical proce dures most commonly performed by general surgeons. In most hospitals, cholecystectomy is the most frequently performed operation within the ab domen; approximately 6()(), OOO are performed each year in the United States. In addition, an estimated 120,000 bile duct operations are performed yearly. Pancreatic surgery is less frequent, but because of the close relation between the biliary system and the pancreas, knowledge of pancreatic problems is equally essential to the surgeon.

Book Description
The Manual of Pulmonary Surgery has been designed primarily as a guide to the techniques of surgery on the lungs of adults and older children. The information included and the technical points stressed are those in which, in more than 20 years of teaching thoracic surgery, I have found residents to most commonly need instruction. An effort has been made to depict the usual anatomy of the lung and its more frequent variations, as it is encountered by the surgeon. This was necessary because a detailed description of pulmonary anatomy is not readily available. The excellent monograph on Segmental Anat omy of the Lung by Professor Edward Boyden, one of my teachers, is no longer in print. The techniques illustrated are those preferred by the author; no attempt has been made to describe all of the possible variations. Deanne McKeown has illustrated the entire book. Her drawings of the procedures are based on sketches or photographs made in the operating room. The use of full color illustrations to emphasize important technical or anatomical detail adds to the ease of understanding the text. A section on the indications for pulmonary resection that contains the information commonly used for surgical decision-making has been included.

Book Description
Initially we asked Springer-Verlag why they thought the world needed another book about aesthetic surgery. They pointed to the popularity of the Compre hensive Manual of Surgical Specialties Series, suggesting that completeness required our contribution. We recalled the current masters of aesthetic surgery: Rees, Sheen, among others. Each had produced his own monograph-all of them established classics. What could we add? Furthermore none of us was recognized exclusively for aesthetic surgery achievements. Nevertheless, each of us was committed to the challenge of teaching residents aesthetic surgery during their residency, not afterward as was done in the past. Furthermore, Dick Egdahl, Senior Editor and designer of CMSS, made clear to us the specific orientation of the manuals to residents-in-training. as did Springer-Verlag, well known for their commitment He won our support, to high-quality color illustrations. We appreciate being asked by Dr. Egdahl to contribute to CMSS. We were not even offended by his original plan to embrace all of plastic surgery in one volume. He should have known better! The Manual of Reconstructive Surgery will follow this volume in 2 years. Defining its scope remains an unmet challenge. Limiting the scope of Manual of Aesthetic Surgery has been an easier task. It is a sourcebook for beginning residents, not an encyclopedic reference.

Book Description
The first hospital-affiliated surgical unit designed specifically for ambulatory surgery in the state of California began functioning as part of Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital in 1973. As this text is readied for publication, the unit is in its tenth year of operation. More than 20,000 patients have undergone surgery there. The enthusiasm generated by ~\ir experience in Santa Barbara, along with the widespread, growing interest in ambulatory surgery, prompted us to undertake this volume. The first three chapters cover principles and administrative aspects, an esthesiology, and nursing in the ambulatory surgical center. Subsequent chap ters, the major portion of the text, provide detailed, meticulously illustrated descriptions of surgical procedures as they are done in the Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital Outpatient Surgical Center by the surgeons who work there. They reflect current practice and emphasize the techniques found most reliable by the surgeons who use them in the outpatient setting. This manual includes many of the operations most commonly performed in our facility and emphasizes the unique aspects of surgery and patient care in outpatient practice. The text is concise, practical, and based on our collective experience. The illustrations are, for the most part, drawn from the surgeon's perspective and faithfully render the actual appearance of the operative field during surgery. Supplementary cross-sectional and conceptual drawings are included to orient the reader.

Book Description
for a significant portion of the new information in this book. His ability to select the important developments from the literature of the last five years was essential to the completion of this second edition. Further, Dr. Stone's original research on wounds and sutures is included in this volume. Dr. Felix Rutledge and Dr. Laman Gray, Sr., in addition to all the named authors, made valuable comments. Their years of experience were especially helpful in updating the chapters on ovarian surgery and vaginal hysterectomy. My personal Administrative Assistant, Elizabeth Davies, successfully coor dinated my various clinical schedules, speaking engagements and department obligations, providing me the time necessary for writing this book. The advice and support of Jerry Stone, Senior Medical Editor, Springer Verlag, also were invaluable in the production of this edition. Lastly, one of our team became ill while we were preparing this book and subsequently died of a rare malignancy. Her outstanding work while with us and her continued interest and encouragement, even though quite of us. Mrs. Sue Koenig was a bright, competent ill, was an inspiration to all and effective co-worker whom is missed by all of us in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of Louisville.

Book Description
This manual presents the operations most often performed by surgeons at the Kerlan-Jobe Orthopaedic Clinic (Inglewood, California, 90301) in treating sports injuries. These operations constitute a complete series of basic surgical procedures for the orthopaedist. In its step-by-step drawings, the manual guides surgeons through the operative techniques of specific procedures. It also pro vides what is equally important for practitioners: the protocols for postopera tive care of patients, including the rehabilitation of those who have-and have not-had to undergo surgery. It must also be said that this manual is not a be-all and end-all of surgical interventions and rehabilitative programs for athletes, amateur or professional, who sustain injuries on the playing field. That elusive goal can only be reached by practitioners who attend strictly to all the diagnostic detail available, who select carefully those patients most likely to benefit from their attention and care, and who share with other practitioners their experience and expertise. As far as diagnosis is concerned, there has been a great improvement in the recent past in both noninvasive and invasive procedures that help to estab lish specific diagnoses and to determine which patients will be served best by a given operation. These new diagnostic tools include the arthrogram in conjunction with the tomogram and the CT scan; the CT scan itself; the arthroscope; and, most recently, the Magnetic Resonance Imaging machine.

Book Description
The Manual of Upper Gastrointestinal Surgery was compiled as an aid to surgeons, residents, and students who want to acquire a broader knowl edge of the surgical techniques used in the upper gastrointestinal area. Of necessity, a considerable amount of the work of a general surgeon will be confined to this region. The techniques described herein are those preferred by the authors and most, but not all, of their colleagues at the Mayo Clinic. No attempt has been made to include all of the available possibilities and technical varia tions. Likewise, no attempt has been made to include many of the stapling techniques. Although they are good and quite useful, their inclusion would require a complete and separate volume. The omission of an accepted procedure is not meant as a criticism; our aim was to emphasize only the techniques that are most commonly used in day-to-day practice. Gains in knowledge about the anatomy and physiology of the esopha gus, stomach, and duodenum have been highly instrumental in the devel opment of surgical procedures in these areas, particularly the techniques for benign diseases (for example, ulcer, gastritis, and esophagitis).
