This volume presents a comprehensive overview of the latest advances in basic and translational research in the field of reconstructive transplantation and its potential therapeutic implications. Dr. Thomas E. Starzl and Dr. Raimund Margreiter, both pioneers in the field of transplantation, have written the foreword for the book. The volume spans such topics as skin rejection, immune monitoring, stem cell-based immunomodulatory strategies, costimulatory blockade, tolerance induction, chronic rejection, ischemia reperfusion injury, nerve regeneration, cortical reintegration, and small and large animal models for reconstructive transplantation. The book is intended for biomedical researchers and basic scientists in the field of reconstructive transplantation, transplant immunology and regenerative medicine, as well as clinicians, surgeons and multidisciplinary specialists, who are practicing or interested in this novel and exciting field. Postgraduate fellows and students will also find it a valuable reference.
Deep knowledge of anatomy and surgical technique will continue to remain the foundation of surgery despite advancement in surgical technology. Robotic surgery usage has increased drastically in the last decade. More than ever before, surgical community in great need for an updated atlas in the various upper GI surgical procedures and techniques available. This atlas demonstrates how to perform the most common Upper GI robotic procedure via a set of high-quality state-of-the-art annotated images showing step-by-step guidance providing pertinent and concise procedure descriptions spanning benign and malignant upper GI problems. Robotic upper GI procedures are considered technically demanding w...
This book supports the emerging field of vascularized composite allotransplantation (VCA) for face and upper-limb transplants by providing a revised, ethically appropriate consent model which takes into account what is actually required of facial and upper extremity transplant recipients. In place of consent as permission-giving, waiver, or autonomous authorization (the standard approaches), this book imagines consent as an ongoing mutual commitment, i.e. as covenant consent. The covenant consent model highlights the need for a durable personal relationship between the patient/subject and the care provider/researcher. Such a relationship is crucial given the recovery period of 5 years or mor...
Gastrointestinal surgery (GI) is performed for a range of benign and malignant diseases in both elective and emergency settings. This volume covers the surgery and management of the oesophagus and stomach including anatomy, surgical and non-surgical approaches to different conditions, and dedicated sections on oesophageal and gastric cancer.
In knappen, präzisen Kurzbiographien sind Lebensdaten, Werdegang, Wirken und Bedeutung von 2000 Persönlichkeiten dargestellt, die für die Entwicklung der Chirurgie und der benachbarten Fachgebiete von der Antike bis zur Gegenwart eine Rolle gespielt haben. Der Schwerpunkt liegt auf dem deutschsprachigen Raum, aber auch wichtige Persönlichkeiten anderer Sprachgebiete sind berücksichtigt. Entdeckungen, Erfindungen und Ersteingriffe, wichtige Publikationen sowie weiterführende Literaturangaben ergänzen die Biographien. Zusätzlich sind die Lehrstuhlinhaber auf deutschsprachigen chirurgischen Ordinariaten mit Name und Wirkungszeit chronologisch aufgelistet, ebenso die Präsidenten deutschsprachiger chirurgischer Fachgesellschaften. Ausführliche Register erschließen den Inhalt und machen das Buch zu einem biographischen Kompendium zur Geschichte der Chirurgie.
This book summarizes rapid progress and innovation in transplantation and regenerative medicine - the merger of reconstructive plastic surgery and transplantation - called Vascularized Composite Allotransplantation. This merger includes face, hand, uteri, larynx, tongue, penis and trachea translplantations as well as other body part transplants using grafts derived from organ donors. These sorts of transplants are now performed more commonly. Cell therapies for immunomodulation are surrogates for immune responses after transplantation to non-invasive imaging of neuroregeneration for improving functional outcomes after transplant.
This guide to organ transplantation covers: patient selection; preoperative care; operative procedures; anaesthesia; immediate postoperative care; rejection diagnosis, prophylaxis and treament; infection diagnosis and management; kidney, heart, lung, liver and pancreatic transplantation; and drug dosage guidelines.
