Comentario editorial :

   When dealing with severe injuries that result in larger areas of destruction of the skin, or when extensive skin cancers must be removed, it is crucial that these defects are repaired with skin that is transposed from neighbouring areas of the body. This book describes in a very accessible manner the most efficient means of creating flaps for the repair of larger skin injuries to the extremities, such that vasculature remains in tact and the flaps take without problems.

This convenient manual will be of great interest to orthopedic surgeons, general surgeons, and trauma surgeons. The text is concise, the book is highly illustrated with excellent drawings by the author, providing a helpful guide for all flap-raising techniques in the extremities.

Comentario editorial :
  Greenberg's classic text returns in a new edition packed with the fundamental science concepts and clinical applications that will guide you through the full range of situations arising in professional practice. Thoroughly cross referenced and indexed, and with thousands of literature citations, this guide makes it easy to locate exactly what you need to know. In addition to updated coverage of the key clinical issues in neurosurgery, this new edition incorporates practice parameters derived from evidence-based medicine, including the management of cervical trauma and current guidelines for lumbar fusion derived from those recently established by the Joint Section of Disorders of the Spine and Peripheral Nerves of the AANS and the CNS.

Highlights:

• Detailed coverage of critical topics in neurosurgery, everything from general care considerations, to how to manage infection, pain, tumors, head trauma, and spine injuries
• Concise organization with hundreds of clinical applications, complete with etiology, treatment, and information for patients
• Easy-to-reference discussion of differential diagnoses according to sign and symptom, or based on location
• New sections on postoperative headache, ankylosing spondylitis, spontaneous intracranial hypotension, sacral fractures, Modic classification of vertebral body degenerative changes, and more
• Updates on such topics as post-herpetic neuralgia, vein of Galen malformations, and cavernous malformations

With its portable, pocket-sized format, Handbook of Neurosurgery is the definitive text to keep at hand for both reference and review.
