MINOR SURGERY - ED3 - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

Further changes and additional procedures have been included in the third edition of this text to reflect improved techniques and also to take account of those doctors who wish to undertake more complex minor surgical operations. In the first edition decompression of the carpal tunnel and release of trigger finger were included, but because of the risks of intravenous regional block anaesthesia they were omitted from the second edition. They have been reintroduced, together with stab avulsion of varicose veins and excision of ganglion, in a separate section on "Advanced minor surgery" and, instead of intravenous regional block, a much safer technique is described. In Chapter 50 there is a collection of patient information leaflets reflecting the growing awareness of the importance of giving patients as much information about their operation as possible.
