Summary: "Offering detailed, well-illustrated coverage of the vascular anatomy seen on all imaging modalities, Atlas of Vascular Anatomy: An Angiographic Approach, 3rd Edition, presents the complete anatomy of the arteries, veins, and lymphatic system by body region. Experts in the field, each trained by Dr. Andre Uflacker, provide thorough updates throughout the text, including new slides and anatomical variations. This edition reflects recent advances in technology as well as new understandings of anatomy, making it an invaluable resource for vascular interventional radiologists and fellows, as well as surgeons, cardiologists, residents, and medical students"-- Provided by publisher.

Summary: Ultrasound guidance of liver surgery is a very sophisticated approach that permits the performance of otherwise unfeasible operations, discloses the true extent of tumors, increases the indications for hepatectomy, and renders surgery safer. Despite this, it has remained relatively neglected in the literature over the past two decades, during which time much progress has been achieved. This is the first atlas on the subject, and it is comprehensive in scope. The state of the art in the use of ultrasound for resection guidance is carefully documented, and new techniques for exploration of the biliary tract and facilitation of transplant surgery are presented. Further important topics include the role of ultrasound in laparoscopic approaches, the use of contrast agents for diagnosis and staging, and developments in the planning of surgical strategy. The editor is a leading authority whose group has been responsible for a variety of advances in the field. He has brought together other experts whose aim throughout is to provide clear information and guidance on the optimal use of ultrasound when performing liver surgery. This atlas is intended especially for hepatobiliary surgeons but will also be of considerable value for general surgeons.

15 Conclusions: future perspectives for the use of ultrasound in liver surgery.

Summary: "This workbook is divided into lessons that guide you-like an instructor in an ultrasound course- systematically through the individual organ systems and body regions. Key features of the fourth edition: Special multiple-exposure photos demonstrate the dynamics of handling the transducer Triplet-image units vividly illustrate transducer positioning, the ultrasound image, and relevant anatomy Reference numbers on the accompanying diagrams help you to both actively develop your knowledge and to test it at any time. The legend located on the back cover flap is the key to the reference numbers that are used consistently in each diagram. Quiz images at the end of each chapter are the perfect tool for rigorous self-evaluation Physical fundamentals are presented in vibrant, illustrative diagrams Numerous practical tips and tricks make it easy to familiarize yourself with ultrasound A primer on ultrasound interpretation explains specialized terminology concisely and clearly Precise descriptions of algorithms for transducer positioning facilitate real-time examinations Videos (online access) showing relevant ultrasound anatomy, optimal transducer positioning, and the images you will see on the monitor during examination let you experience the content live-a perfect complement to the book that will greatly improve your retention of the material"-- Provided by publisher.

Summary: Endoscopic spinal surgery has become popular due its procedure-related benefits. The biportal endoscopic surgery is a recent technique, which has gained popularity in Asia, Europe, and Latin America since it can be applied to treat many diseases of the whole spine as cervical, thoracic, lumbar and sacral. Divided into thirty-four chapters, this first-ever book on unilateral biportal endoscopic spine surgery presents the technique history review and its current applications; the currently available technology and basic principles of this surgery: anesthesia, position, and operative room setup; endoscopic instruments, hydrostatic pressure, and intraoperative radiology; as well as anatomical considerations of basic approaches. It also details the techniques to resolve lumbar, cervical and thoracic spine diseases. Written by the world's most influential groups that perform the method, Unilateral Biportal Endoscopy of the Spine: An Atlas of Surgical Techniques will certainly be widely accepted by all surgeons interested to improve their daily practice in minimally invasive spine surgery.
