Otorhinolaryngology Ballengers

The Manual of the Sixteenth Edition of Ballenger’s Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery provides a new approach to the development and maintenance of competency in the field. It presents synopses of 46 of the chapters in the main book that address clinical problems, and provides a handy, easily portable source of clinical knowledge emphasizing diagnosis and therapeutic management. Each synopsis is accompanied in the CD-ROM version by a group of multiplechoice examination items to allow the reader to assess his or her comprehension of the subject matter. Each examination item has a teaching commentary that indicates why the best response is favored and includes teaching points relevant to the subject matter of the examination item. The format is based on the educational concepts of immediate review and analysis of comprehension. The process has the important added benefit of giving the participant a prompt reinforcement of what the author(s) consider important. It gives the participant an opportunity to review the contents with a new

perspective of the author’s orientation and emphasis.

Oxford Urology

The goal of the Oxford American Handbook of Urology is to create a concise source of clinical information for medical students and physicians in training. This Handbook primarily presents the nonsurgical aspects of urology— the information needed for making a rapid diagnosis and determining the proper initial treatment course amid the confi nes of a busy clinical practice. It is meant to be a practical pocket reference, not an exhaustive treatise on urology. As we witness the rapid pace of advancement in urological surgery, it

becomes ever more diffi cult for any urologist to stay current in all areas of our specialty. The Handbook aims to provide the reader with an effi cient information source that will be helpful in guiding effective management of our growing population of urological patients. The book is written for our patients, with appreciation for the many mentors from whom we have learned, and for the many students and residents we have been fortunate to train. It is adapted for the American practice of urology from the Oxford Handbook of Urology, published in the UK, and we thank John Reynard, Simon Brewster, and Suzanne Biers for

their fi ne book and the opportunity to “Americanize” it. We dedicate this book to our colleague and friend, John P. Stein, M.D., whose untimely death has left a large void in our specialty. He was an accomplished clinician, researcher, and teacher who will be sorely missed.

Clinical Surgery in General

What is the book about? Basic science texts deal with anatomy, physiology and pathology. Clinical textbooks deal in a systematic manner with guidance on managing individual patients. We have attempted to create a bridge between the basic sciences and their incorporation into clinical practice. In the past general surgery dominated teaching and postgraduate surgical examinations, but many of the included subjects have successively been separated into specialities. In order to offer the best management to our patients, we may need to know about specialities outside of surgery, such as imaging techniques, radiotherapy, cancer chemotherapy, and terminal care. We have tried to identify and demonstrate some of those subjects

Cardiac Surgery

The first edition of Cardiac Surgery: Safeguards and Pitfalls in Operative Technique was published 20 years ago. Its immediate success prompted it to be translated into Portuguese and Japanese. The third edition was translated into Japanese and Chinese. The book has become very popular among young surgeons in training, both at home and abroad. This gratifying response to our work has encouraged us to pursue and launch yet another edition. This new fourth edition has undergone extensive revision and has been updated to reflect the continuing changes in the practice of cardiac surgery and the impact of rapidly evolving new technologies. To accomplish this we have invited Dr. Abbas Ardehali to collaborate with us. He has written the new chapter on heart transplantation and has made numerous other contributions. Dr. Kwok Yun, who was involved with the third edition, has updated the chapters on surgery of the aorta and the aortic valve. Dr. Ramin Beygui has provided the section on endostenting of the thoracic aorta. We both have had the opportunity to perform many of the surgical procedures described in the book with Drs. Ardehali
and Beygui. The senior author has benefited from Dr. Yun's technical expertise over many years of operating together. Thus, the philosophy and the spirit of the work have been maintained by our contributors in this new edition. All chapters have undergone major scrutiny. Many new materials have been introduced. These include the surgical ventricular reconstruction for both left and right ventricular dysfunction, the management of porcelain aorta, and antegrade cerebral perfusion. The section on congenital heart defects introduces new procedures for pulmonary vein stenosis, updated approaches for Tetralogy of Fallot, the aortic translocation operation, and the Sano procedure. Several parts of the book have been completely rewritten, incorporating recent concepts and approaches into the text. Obsolete procedures have been deleted.

Plastic Surgery Grabb Smith

Although I can vouch that the editors are humble, our task was not: to produce a comprehensive text covering all of plastic surgery in a single volume. Grabb and Smith’s Plastic Surgery is now the only single-volume text that attempts such a feat. In fact, the book was based on the belief that with proper editing,

our single volume could contain all the essential information of any multiple-volume text.

The second challenge was to make the book sufficiently new to justify calling it a “new” edition. Of the 93 chapters, over two thirds (64) are completely new, with new authors. The remaining 29 chapters were re-written, in many cases completely. The number of topics covered increased in all areas except Hand, with the largest expansion in the Breast and Cosmetic sections. We grouped ten chapters within a newly titled

section, Congenital Anomalies and Pediatric Plastic Surgery. Every chapter is shorter than its counterpart in the previous edition, and references were limited to 15. Our authors are experts in their fields, and their skills in surgery are equaled by their writing skills. I am grateful that they accepted my editing, some of which was quite deep in my attempts to keep chapters pithy. The downside of a single volume that is comprehensive

enough for examination preparation is its weight! As our senior co-editor Dr. Beasley warned, “It should be light enough to take to bed with you.” In this regard, we may have failed, but we feel comfortable blaming the scope of the field rather than the competence of the editors. The book is intended for medical professionals and trainees at all levels: Practicing plastic surgeons, surgeons in related fields such as Ophthalmology, Otolaryngology, Oral Surgery, Orthopedics and General Surgery, surgery residents in all subspecialties, medical students, physicians assistants, nurses, and nurse practitioners. My thanks to the co-editors, authors, 

LippincottWilliams
and & Wilkins, and Dovetail Content Solutions for their contributions
to this worthy endeavor.

Apleys Orthopaedics

System of Orthopaedics and Fractures 50 years ago he saw it as an aid to accompany the courses that he conducted for aspiring surgeons who were preparing for the FRCS exams. With characteristic humour, he

called the book ‘a prophylactic against writer’s cramp’. Pictures were unnecessary: if you had any sense (and were quick enough to get on the heavily oversubscribed Apley Course) you would be treated

to an unforgettable display of clinical signs by one of the most gifted of teachers. You also learnt how to elicit those signs by using a methodical clinical approach – the Apley System. The Fellowship exam was heavily weighted towards clinical skills. Miss an important sign or stumble over how to examine a knee or a finger and you could fail outright. What Apley taught you was how to order the steps in physical examination in a way that could be applied to every part of the musculoskeletal system. ‘Look, Feel, Move’ was the mantra. He liked to say that he had a preference for four-letter words. And always in that order! Deviate from the System by grasping a patient’s leg before you look at it minutely, or by testing the movements in a joint before you feel its contours and establish the exact site of tenderness and you risked becoming an unwilling participant in a theatrical comedy.
