        Rhinoplasty and the nose in early modern British medicine and culture

        by Emily Cock, David Cantor, Keir Waddington

        Challenging histories of plastic surgery that posit a complete disappearance of Gaspare Tagliacozzi's rhinoplasty operation after his death in 1599, Rhinoplasty and the nose in early modern British medicine and culture traces knowledge of the procedure within the early modern British medical community, through to its impact on the nineteenth-century revival of skin-flap facial surgeries. The book explores why such a procedure was controversial, and the cultural importance of the nose, offering critical readings of literary noses from Shakespeare to Laurence Sterne. Medical knowledge of the graft operation was accompanied by a spurious story that the nose would be constructed from flesh purchased from a social inferior, and would drop off when that person died. The volume therefore explores this narrative in detail for its role in the procedure's stigmatisation, its engagement with the doctrine of medical sympathy, and its unique attempt to commoditise living human flesh.

        Cold, hard steel

        The surgical stereotype, past and present

        by Agnes Arnold-Forster, Keir Waddington

        British culture is populated by larger-than-life surgeons. Whether fictional or real, they have created, conformed to and complicated the surgical stereotype. Cold, hard steel anatomises this stereotype, offering a new social, cultural and emotional history of modern and contemporary British surgery. Drawing on cultural representations, archival material and oral history interviews, the book considers the development and maintenance of the surgical stereotype and explains why it has proven so enduring.

        Current Advances in Total Knee Arthroplasty

        by Giles R Scuderi

        Osteoarthritis is the most common joint disease in adults around the world, and when nonoperative and medical management fail to resolve symptoms and the condition impacts the quality of life with significant disability, knee arthroplasty is indicated. Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty for the treatment of localized knee osteoarthritis has become more common, and total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has long been a reliable and predictable procedure. In this nine-chapter overview, recent advances in primary unicompartmental and primary TKA have been highlighted, including the details of implant design, surgical technique and new technologies. Two commonly encountered issues during revision TKAs – bone loss and extensor mechanism complications – are reviewed. Current techniques in perioperative pain management and blood management are also explored, and, finally, the book brings together current advances in primary and revision TKAs.

        Complex General Surgical Oncology: a Case-Based Approach (Volume 1)

        by Jason B Fleming, Daniel E Abbott

        Surgical oncology is a rapidly evolving field. Through increasingly sophisticated technologies and interventional techniques, and continued basic science breakthroughs, care of the cancer patient is ever improving. A cornerstone of this improvement is a continual evaluation and recognition of evidence-based changing practice patterns. This reality forms the basis for this two-volume text, focusing on diagnostic and treatment algorithms to maximize quality care for the surgical oncology patient. To engage the reader with real-world, patient-centered learning, this book consists of case-based scenarios and follow-up questions addressing key concepts of complex surgical oncology. This first volume of 18 chapters focuses on a variety of breast pathology, followed by examination of endocrine, soft tissue and esophageal malignancies, providing an excellent resource to guide optimal care for patients.

        Preoperative Assessment and Perioperative Management

        by Mark Radford

        Pre operative assessment of the surgical patient is a key part of the perioperative process. However, it is one that cannot be separated from the other aspects of perioperative management, both clinical and administrative, that ensures the safe and effective treatment of surgical patients. There are a number of books on the market that examine perioperative management anaesthesia and surgical nursing that are only able to touch on the pre-operative assessment process. Pre Operative Assessment & Perioperative Management sets out to be different, by bridging the gap between these texts and the evolving and developing area of practice that pre operative assessment has become in modern healthcare

        Practical Microsurgery Cases: Repair, Replantation and Reconstruction

        by Hou Chunlin

        This book aims to introduce the most recent microsurgical techniques and applications in the pattern of illustrative case presentations, including digit replantation, toe-to-hand transplantation, peripheral nerve injuries especially total brachial plexus avulsion injury, surgical flaps. Microsurgery appeared to be a great procedure suitable for more applications. Anatomic research of the blood supply of skin, fascia, nerve, muscle, and bone identified flaps could be carried by pedicle vessels. Transfer of these flaps and revascularization by micro-vascular anastomoses of the arteries and veins set the stages for free flaps. In free flap surgery, single-stage and complex reconstructions could be achieved, which then led to earlier mobilization and better restoration of function with a shorter hospital stay. Today, microsurgical technique is fully matured, and micro-vascular free tissue transfer is an essential part of reconstructive surgery. Development of microsurgery in China is introduced in the initiation of the current book. Key technical points and experience of replantation, reconstruction, tissue repair, nerve repair and reconstruction, oncological repair and reconstruction cases together with other applications of microsurgery are further demonstrated.
