DESCRIPTION Authoritative and lavishly illustrated, this book is a valuable compendium of surgical techniques for the most complex oncologic problems in the head and neck patient. It distills the author’s decades of experience in the surgical management of cases in which the excision of complex lesions is difficult and reconstruction is problematic. In the first half of the book, each chapter addresses cancer in a different region of the head and neck. Each chapter provides discussion of etiology, pathology, pathophysiology, and surgical anatomy, providing the necessary background for diagnostic evaluation, surgical treatment as well as nonsurgical treatment, including chemotherapy and radiation. Additional chapters cover such important topics as care for the pediatric patient, radiotherapy, restoration secondary to tumor ablation, and speech, voice, and swallowing implications following ablative procedures.

Features:

Detailed descriptions that guide the clinician through each surgical procedure

Comprehensive discussion of management strategies that provides clinicians with a solid understanding of the available treatments and the possibilities and limitations of each

Nearly 1,000 high-quality illustrations, photographs, and radiographic images that demonstrate pathologic and surgical concepts in precise detail

Coverage of the latest techniques in skull base surgery and laryngeal surgery

Valuable discussion of nursing care, nutrition, and speech therapy

An essential resource for optimizing the care of patients with advanced cancer, this book is ideal for clinicians and residents in otolaryngology-head and neck surgery, facial plastic and reconstructive surgery, oral and maxillofacial surgery, oncology, and general surgery.

Donald

SALES HOOKS This book’s USP is summed up as “the management of the difficult case” in head and neck cancer surgery. There are several head and neck cancer books meant as general introductions to the subject, including our own new Genden/Varvares, and these are suitable for beginning residents. Senior residents, fellows, and practitioners, however, also need a resource for the cases that aren’t straightforward. The big push in head and neck cancer treatment has been to use primary radiation and chemotherapy, but substantial numbers of patients have been failed by these modalities. How then to successfully treat those unfortunates? This book, by the well-known and respected Paul J. Donald, is the needed resource – for the revision surgery that is required when the first surgery is a failure, or the last-ditch salvage surgery that is needed to treat a patient who has not responded to anything else.

As Dr. Donald writes, “The special feature of first importance is the quality of the illustrations. They detail precisely how to do many of these complex operative procedures. The second is to offer to the surgeons a perspective on the management of extensive disease in contrast to attempting tumor ablation by the combination of chemotherapy and irradiation. Another special feature is the detailed description on how to do a number of skull base surgical techniques. One of the best chapters in the literature in the modern surgical approach to treatment of the cancer of the larynx has been written by Dr. Bruce Pearson. This provides a unique systematic approach on the management of layngeal malignancy based on tumor extent and not on a classification system. The Chapter on Mediastinal dissection is found in very few standard texts. The chapters on nursing care, nutrition and speech therapy are extremely helpful and useful in this aspect of care of the patient suffering from head and neck cancer.”

DESCRIPTION Applying new technologies, presenting your experience, and, of course, thinking of your current practice in the light of new evidence, needs some understanding of clinical research methodology. This book is not a textbook, but a brief guidance for clinical research practice. It aims at bridging the different points of view of statisticians and clinicians, but does not replace personal meetings and discussions between both professions at the earliest step of a clinical study. We hope that you find this book enjoyable, easy to read and understand, and helpful for improving your research skills. “Me, the editors, and the authors hope that this book will help you to sort and focus your ideas when setting up a clinical study, and to understand why certain information should be expressed in this or that fashion, how data should be compiled, analyzed, and presented. This book is neither exhaustive nor complete; it just fits better into your daily business.” - David L. Helfet

DESCRIPTION From congenital or acquired problems in newborns to cardiovascular abnormalities in older children, this comprehensive text explains how to interpret chest radiographs and how to report that information in day-to-day practice. It steers readers through this often challenging area using numerous practical case examples, more than 400 high-quality radiographs, drawings and specimen photographs, straightforward explanations of findings, and the collective experience of several of the world’s foremost experts on cardiac imaging and pediatric cardiology. After an introductory discussion of normal cardiac anatomy and imaging, the authors provide readers with a systematic approach to understanding chest images in children with congenital or acquired heart disease followed by useful bulleted synopses of basic pathologic features, clinical manifestations and radiographic findings.

While the trend in recent decades has been toward increasingly sophisticated imaging modalities, this book successfully illustrates that there is still an extraordinary amount of diagnostic and therapeutic information to be found in chest x-rays.

Features

Multiple perspectives from imagers, cardiologists, and cardiac surgeons on the pathology of congenital heart disease

High-resolution radiographs, detailed drawings, and specimen photographs vividly elucidate interpretative principles

Summary of pediatric cardiovascular surgical procedures provides context and practical examples of what to expect when viewing post-operative chest radiographs

SALES HOOKS Pediatric chest imaging is challenging, even more so in patients with cardiac disease. A solid reference on the topic is needed.

Pediatric cardiology, cardiac surgery and cardiac imaging were essentially invented at The Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto. This book truly is written by the world experts on the topic.

The image quality here is outstanding. Reading chest x-rays requires seeling subtle findings and the images in this book are truly outstanding. The book would be worthless without the images.
