Surgical Decision Making

Antonio F.,Corno: Congenital Heart Defects 2 Decision Making for Surgery. Less Common Defects, Steinkopff Dr. Dietrich V, Oktober 2004 ISBN: 3798514232
Expressly created to assist with decision making for surgical treatment of congenital heart defects, this new reference covers all relevant aspects.The Congenital Heart Defects are presented with each chapter devoted to a single malformation, with incidence, morphology, associated anomalies, pathophysiology, diagnosis (including clinical pattern, electrocardiogram, chest X-ray, echocardiogram, cardiac catheterization with angiography), indications for surgical treatment, details of surgical treatment, potential complications and literature references.Morphology, pathophysiology and surgical treatment of the defects are explained with schematic drawings, while images taken from morphologic specimens, echocardiographic and angiographic investigations as well as from intra-operative photographs illustrate better than any words the key points of the decision-making process for the surgical treatment of congenital heart defects. TOC:Cor triatriatum.- Tricuspid atresia.- Double inlet ventricle.- Pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect.- Truncus arteriosus.- Aorto-pulmonary window.- Anomalous pulmonary arteries.- Anomalous coronary arteries.- Congenital mitral stenosis (mitral valve disease).- Aneurysm of sinus of Valsalva.- Aortic-left ventricular tunnel.- Double outlet right ventricle.- Congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries (double discordance).- Straddling atrioventricular valve.- Isomerism.- Slings and rings.- Cardiac tumors.<

Scott-Conner, Carol E. H. The SAGES Manual of Strategic Decision Making Case Studies in Minimal Access Surgery, Springer-Verlag GmbH, Juli 2008 ISBN: 0387766707
The SAGES Manual of Strategic Decision Making: Case Studies in Minimal Access Surgery presents multiple scenarios in general surgery, explores the various minimally invasive treatment options, and offers the rationale for the chosen approach. Each chapter concludes with a brief evidence-based review of the literature and where appropriate, SAGES guidelines and other approved consensus statements.Fifty scenarios in general surgery are described and possible treatment options are considered. A case presentation format is used to illustrate the author's preferred strategy, supported by evidence from the literature. Alternate approaches favored by other experts are also presented. An excellent clinical decision making tool for general surgeons and residents.

Antonio F.,Corno;Gigi P.,Festa: Congenital Heart Defects. Decision Making for Surgery Volume 3: CT-Scan and MRI, Steinkopff Dr. Dietrich V, November 2008 ISBN: 3798517185
The diagnosis and management of congenital heart defects has rapidly evolved over the last few decades. In this third volume of the series entitled Congenital Heart Defects: Decision Making for Surgery Antonio Corno provides an up-to-date and comprehensive presentation of the new role that cardiac CT and MRI will play in the management of congenital heart defects. He has been ably assisted by a cardiologist, Pierluigi Festa.The book provides a dazzling array of images derived by both techniques and covers the full range of congenital heart malformations. Both the pre-operative and post-operative usefulness of these techniques is presented: in the pre-operative period with regard to the details useful for choosing among all available surgical options; in the post-operative period for monitoring the follow-up and potential complications.There is no doubt that these techniques will be particularly helpful for older children and adults with congenital heart disease in assessing the late impact of a congenital heart malformation and the surgical repair or palliation which may have been undertaken years previously. TOC: Introduction to CT scan and MRI.- Anomalous systemic venous connections.- Anomalous pulmonary venous connections.- Atrial septal defect.- Unroofed coronary sinus.- Atrioventricular septal defect.- Ventricular septal defect.- Tetralogy of Fallot.- Tetralogy of Fallot with absent pulmonary valve.- Pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum.- Ebstein's anomaly.- Patent ductus arteriosus.- Left ventricular outflow tract obstruction.- Aortic coarctation.- Aortic arch interruption.- Complete transposition of the great arteries.- Hypoplastic left heart syndrome.- Cor triatriatum.- Tricuspid atresia.- Single ventricle.- Pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect.- Truncus arteriosus.- Aorto-pulmonary window.- Anomalous pulmonary arteries.- Anomalous coronary arteries.- Double outlet right ventricle.- Double discordance.- Isomerism.- Slings and rings. <

Norton, Jeffrey A.;Barie, Philip S.;Bollinger, R. Randal;Chang, Alfred E.;Lowry, Stephen F.;Mulvihill, Sean J.;Pass, Harvey I.;Thompson, Robert W. Surgery Basic Science and Clinical Evidence, Springer-Verlag GmbH, August 2008 ISBN: 0387308008
...the ambitious undertaking of creating an evidence-based textbook of surgery has largely succeeded and I heartily recommend it. Surgery: Basic Science and Clinical Evidence have something for everyone, from the newest surgical resident to the established surgeon in practice. JAMA on the First EditionDuring a period of numerous adventures in the textbook arena, this is different in focus and quality...reader friendly with excellent illustrations and 200 evidence-based tables Archives of Surgery on the First EditionThe text is clearly written, and the chapters are well illustrated...Chief residents in surgery preparing for their board examinations will find this book especially helpful, because the chapters deal in a comprehensive way with the nine major areas of general surgery identified by the American Board of Surgery. New England Journal of Medicine on the First Edition...a strong text for the general surgeon, regardless of training status, academic affiliation, or practice venue. There is much here for everyone. The work is current, fairly complete, objective, and very readable compared with other general surgical textbooks. Surgical Infections on the First Edition. The second edition of Surgery: Basic Science and Clinical Evidence features fully revised and updated information on the evidence-based practice of surgery, significant new sections on trauma and critical care on the often challenging surgical care of unique populations; (elderly, pediatric, immunocompromised, and obese patients). The internationally recognized editors and authors have maintained their evidence-based approach throughout the text with thoughtful and timely new chapters on the pre- and post-operative care of the cardiac surgery patient, intestinal transplantation, surgical infections, the fundamentals of cancer genetics and proteomics, and discussions of electrosurgical instruments, robotics, imaging modalities, and other emerging technologies influencing the modern practice of surgery. The oft-cited chapter on the principles of evidence-based decision-making in surgical practice is completely updated for the second edition, presenting the reader with a framework for the evidence-based practice of surgery. The First Edition's strong emphasis on the basic science underlying the practice of surgery is upheld, providing readers with solid preparation for inservice and recertification examinations. Clinically focused sections in gastrointestinal, vascular, cardiothoracic, transplant, and cancer surgery enable the surgeon to make decisions based upon the most relevant data. The text is enhanced by more than 1,000 illustrations and hundreds of the signature evidence-based tables that made the first edition of SURGERY an instant classic. With is strong basic science coverage and emphasis on evidence-based decision making, the Second Edition is required reading for all general surgery trainees, practitioners, and surgical subspecialists.
