Variation in the Care of Surgical Conditions
The new Dartmouth Atlas series on variation in the care of surgical conditions, including this report on the treatment of diabetes and peripheral arterial disease, raises new questions regarding surgical management of both common and less frequently occurring medical conditions. This report carefully details the scope of the problem of diabetes and peripheral arterial disease and, as in previous Atlas analyses, emphasizes geographic practice variation in both preventive services and in surgical treatment rates. However, the report also takes a more patient-centered view. The goals of avoiding amputation and retaining the ability to walk are paramount. The best strategies to achieve these goals are the focus of quality improvement groups such as the Vascular Quality Initiative, described in this report. The outcomes data being recorded should go a long way toward producing the kind of widely applicable data upon which patient decision support tools should be based. Patients want to know procedure and facility-based risks and benefits.

Difficult Decisions in Thoracic Surgery
This book describes the recommended ideal approach, rather than customary care, in selected clinical situations. Brief chapters are devoted to a specific question or decision in general thoracic surgery that is difficult or controversial. The chapters contain both evidence-based recommendations and descriptions of surgeons’ personal practices. Chapters are organized around clearly identified recommendations, making possible the identification of useful material at a glance. Over 50 different topics are presented. This book is a valuable reference source for practicing surgeons, surgeons in training, and educators.
Variation in the Care of Surgical Conditions
Despite many years of attention and study, variation in the diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer persists in the United States. While some progress has been made--for example, screening practices are becoming more risk-based than population-based--new questions have arisen: for example, how best to counsel patients regarding their risk of cancer and the benefits and trade-offs of treatment; how to optimize outcomes related to treatment; and which patients are best treated with active surveillance. While these questions are being answered, clinicians and health systems need to strive to incorporate the best available evidence and shared decision-making into their efforts to detect and treat prostate cancer.
Difficult Decisions in Vascular Surgery
This book looks at specific vascular surgery questions that have arisen and where careful analysis is given according to the level of supporting evidence available. As new technology is introduced to treat the cardiovascular system, alternative therapies begin to challenge and also complement traditional vascular surgery. All chapters contain the PICO table to summarise specific characteristics relative to the questions posed in each chapter. Difficult Decisions in Vascular Surgery- An Evidence-Based Approach is a current and timely reference source for practicing surgeons, surgeons in training, and educators, that describes the recommended ideal approach, rather than customary care, in selected clinical situations.

Health Services Research
This updated volume provides insight into health services research, as well as the emerging areas of research and the tools required to perform scientific work. The book covers topics related to performance assessment, quality improvement, health care policy, and career development. New chapters on the evaluation of non-technical skills in surgery, methods of enhancing causal inference in observational studies, and writing scientific manuscripts are also included. Health Services Research aims to give advice on how to obtain National Institutes of Health funding and other grants, as well as breaking through the barriers to developing a career in academic surgery. This book is relevant to surgical residents and young surgical faculty, as well as anyone undertaking a career in academic surgery.
Clinical Scenarios in Surgery
Clinical Scenarios in Surgery: Decision Making and Operative Technique presents 125 cases in all areas of general surgery: GI, breast, hepatobiliary, colorectal, cardiothoracic, endocrine, vascular, trauma, pediatric, critical care, and transplant. Each full-color case begins with a patient presentation and proceeds through differential diagnosis, diagnosis and treatment, surgical procedures, postoperative management, and a case conclusion. Each case includes key technical steps, potential pitfalls, take-home points, and suggested readings. The patient stories in these clinical scenarios provide context to faciliate learning the principles of safe surgical care. This book will be particularly useful for senior surgical residents and recent graduates as they prepare for the American Board of Surgery oral examination.
