Schein’s Common Sense Emergency Abdominal Surgery

ix Preface Smart surgeons learn from their own mistakes, smarter surgeons learn from mistakes of others, some never learn . . . You are a resident, overworked and constantly tired; sitting down with your mentor for a brief tutorial. What do you want to get out of these few minutes? To organize your thoughts and approaches to the particular problem; to learn how he -the weathered surgeon -"tackles it"; to grasp a few practical "recipes" or "goodies" and take home a message or two; to laugh a bit and unwind. This is also our goal in this book. We hope that you are not repelled or offended by the non-formal character of this book. This is how emergency abdominal surgery is taught best, by trial...

Schein's Common Sense Emergency Abdominal Surgery

Emergency Abdominal Surgery is a battleground for the surgeon - providing character-building experiences, and opportunities for triumph and disaster. In the third edition of this 'simple' book, emergency abdominal surgery is discussed in an informal and no nonsense fashion - as practiced in the 'trenches' of the ER and the OR. The preferred approach for a given situation is discussed in context; it has to fulfill certain prerequisites: save lives, decrease morbidity, be cost effective and be performed correctly.

Aphorisms & Quotations for the Surgeon

This book brings together a medley of over 1500 aphorisms, quotations, and rules - by surgeons and non-surgeons - about surgery, surgeons and anything which may be relevant to the practice of surgery. It should gratify all potential tastes as the book includes ancient as well as contemporary entries, formal and colloquial, pronounced by surgical giants or anonymous - only guided by the prerequisite that the entry appeals to the surgical soul. Readers will probably use this book to decorate their lectures or manuscripts with relevant smart or entertaining entries. Most of all this book will simply be read or browsed for pleasure: the reader will enjoy many of the entries, and will discover that surgical truth is old, that what is thought a novel idea has been said before; that what is seen was seen many years ago.

A Surgeon’s Guide to Writing and Publishing

Most ‘How to write/publish’ books are aimed at the scientific community and medical professionals as a whole. To date none has ever been dedicated to surgeons alone.

Each chapter will attempt to guide the budding writer, using simple and brief language and taking examples from daily life. After reading this book the surgeon should be better informed and successful in writing, publishing and editing. They will be ready to 'publish and not be damned'.

Schein's Common Sense Prevention and Management of Surgical Complications

The enthusiastic feedback received from readers of the international bestseller Schein's Common Sense Emergency Abdominal Surgery (now in its 3rd edition, translated to seven languages; Springer Verlag; ISBN 9783540748205) inspired the editors to do a similar book dedicated to surgical complications: practical, non-formal, internationally relevant (in all types of practice and levels of hospitals) – and definitely not politically correct: what is considered taboo by others is not taboo for us; here we discuss everything! As in the editors’ previous book, the use of references is restricted to the absolute minimum, and citing figures and percentages is avoided as much as possible. The cha...

The Memoirs of Allen Oldfather Whipple

To the abdominal surgeon a first successful Whipple's procedure is what a first combat mission is to the fighter pilot: a symbol of competence, the fruits of prolonged training. Not many surgeons managed to incorporate their names into a commonly used eponym - Allen Oldfather Whipple (1881-1963) did, and so became immortalized as a household name to surgeons worldwide. Yet little has been known and written about Whipple, the great American surgeon, his personal life, or his other interests. This is what this book is about: an edited version of Whipple's previously unpublished memoirs which, until now, for more than forty years have gathered dust. In these pages the retired Whipple describes ...

Controversies in Surgery

"When a thing ceases to be a subject of controversy, it ceases to be a subject of interest. " WILLIAM HAZLITT (1778-1830) This is the fourth volume in a series which we started in 1997. In 1976, Varco and Delaney edited a "surgical bestseller" entitled Controversy in Surgery. This was fol lowed by a second volume in 1985. The immense success of these books among both surgical trainees and experienced surgeons, and their wide international ap peal, supported the editors' notion that a view of controversy is integral to teach ing. However, despite major advances in surgical science and practice, no other similar publication has since been put together with the objective of addressing major con...

There are numerous textbooks detailing almost every aspect of the different laparoscopic procedures. However, in this era of evidence-based medicine, a text focusing on the controversies – from the laparoscopic as well as the general surgeon's point of view – is missing. This book is not intended to be yet another textbook of laparoscopy; instead, its main purpose is to address unsettled issues of controversy. This will significantly enhance evidence-based knowledge of this developing field, stimulate thinking and discussions in rounds and meetings, assist surgeons in their decision making and stimulate further research. This book is not aimed only at laparoscopic surgeons – with their steadily increasing number – but also at general surgeons and surgical trainees. It will define and sharpen points of controversy by internationally recognized authors, and thus provide 'state of the art' quality to each topic.
