Shermak: Body Contouring (McGraw-Hill Plastic Surgery Atlas Series)

Breast and body-contouring surgery, discussed in the literature for hundreds of years, has increasingly evolved over time. While new techniques are hardly ever actually new (once an intensive literature search is done), we do see change, whether it be the addition of a new suspension suture or a combination of techniques that were not combined before. This field has applications across a broad swath of the population, from the petite “mommy” looking for a makeover to the male who lost more than 100 lb after gastric bypass surgery. There are many techniques to cover, and we aim to include an excellent representation.

This atlas is directed to residents preparing for surgical cases and to seasoned plastic surgeons hoping to innovate or refresh their current surgical repertoire. We cover the scope of breast surgery, including reduction, augmentation, lifting, and gynecomastia; arm and thigh contouring with liposuction and excisional techniques; abdominoplasty, upper and lower, with hernia repair techniques; and back contouring. We have included the traditional, well-hewn techniques, as well as techniques which are increasingly finding a place in contemporary plastic surgery. Every surgeon needs to be equipped with a handful of techniques for each type of surgery, such as breast reduction or gynecomastia or thigh lift, to best serve the broad range of patient presentations we see.

Each section includes detailed anatomic illustrations by Bill Winn describing the regions of interest. These illustrations should provide a landscape for surgical planning. The illustrations guide important planes for surgical dissection. They also provide information about neurovascular anatomy to understand supply to the skin and muscle, and importantly, to avoid injury. This atlas opens with discussions regarding perioperative issues. We are performing procedures that involve greater time in the operating room and are combining multiple procedures that complement one another. Positioning resulting in prolonged compression or stretch must be avoided, as sequelae may be permanent and disabling. We have patients with baseline medical issues and medications that need to be considered in designing the safest surgical approach and in advising patients. We need to anticipate and prevent bad outcomes and optimize postoperative care. This atlas provides this perioperative guidance while also describing surgical technique.

The endpoint of breast and body-contouring surgery is provision of the best possible contour while respecting important safety issues and continually innovating to improve outcomes. The goal of this atlas is to help in this endeavor and provide a “soup to nuts” approach to plastic surgery of the breast and body.

Monnier: Pediatric Airway Surgery: Management of Laryngotracheal Stenosis in Infants and Children

Paediatric Airway Surgery is the fruit of experience gained over many years to improve the surgical outcome for children suffering from a variety of compromised airways. It focuses on the technical aspects of diagnosis and treatment to provide the reader not only with well-established treatment modalities, but also with new concepts of paediatric airway management. Some ideas may not be shared by all, but should stimulate new thoughts in search of better solutions in the future.

This endeavour was induced by numerous foreign colleagues who visited the Lausanne ENT Department to study endoscopic and open surgical airway techniques, particularly cricotracheal resection and its variants.

This book is also intended to provide insights into controversial issues pertaining to the most difficult airway reconstructions. The author does not claim to present definite solutions to the challenging problem of the compromised paediatric airway. Nonetheless his modest goal, based on the experience of pioneers, is to add a stone to the pyramid of knowledge in this field of research. With inputs from different horizons, it is hoped that this will one day lead to the full rehabilitation of most tracheostomized children suffering from various forms of laryngotracheal stenosis.

Contributors to this book have all been directly implicated in the management of these children and they write from their vast experience. The lead author wishes for this book to reflect the necessary commitment that a paediatric airway surgeon must possess to acquire the stepwise knowledge of subtle diagnostic and therapeutic skills for providing the best possible care for his or her young patients.

Maffulli: Tendon Injuries: Basic Science and Clinical Medicine

Standard textbooks of anatomy, physiology, pathology, orthopedic surgery, and sports medicine provide little information on tendons. Tendon ailments are increasingly prevalent in orthopedic surgery and sports medicine, and in occupational and family medicine as well.

This book provides a comprehensive presentation on human tendons for a wide range of readers, from students and teachers of physical education, biomechanics, medicine, and physical therapy to specialists such as orthopaedic surgeons, pathologists, and physicians specializing in sports medicine. This book describe the current principles of diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of tendon injuries and disorders. Although  acknowledge that these principles are constantly changing, this book gives readers the tools presently available to the scientific and biomedical community to tackle tendon problems. This book has been conceived to be used as a comprehensive source for physicians, surgeons, physical therapists, chiropractors, sports coaches, athletes, fitness enthusiasts, and students in a variety of disciplines. The book is definitely a medical book, but with appeal to professionals outside the medical field.

The editors have collectively more than 70 years of experience in orthopaedic sports medicine, and have dedicated much of their research efforts to studying the pathophysiology of tendon problems. They believe that, as a team, our knowledge and experience will give help and guidance in the management of tendon problems.

In recent years—at least in the West—the demand for heavy physical work has markedly decreased. Conversely, leisure-time sports activities have become more popular, frequent, and intense. Repetitive work, excessive weight, poor fitness, and the lack of regular exercise and of variation in physical loading have all contributed to the increased incidence of degenerative changes in the musculoskeletal system. Tendon problems are seen frequently in nonathletes. Modern athletes also suffer from tendon ailments.The biological limits that musculoskeletal tissues can withstand are exceeded, with overuse and acute injuries, especially in tendons.

This book provides principles of diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation for various tendon problems. We envisage the book to be heavily used by physicians, surgeons, physical therapists, athletic trainers, and other professionals treating patients with tendon problems.

Illouz: Adipose Stem Cells and Regenerative Medicine

In the last decades, investments in basic research have yielded extensive knowledge about the many and complex processes involved in the development of an organism. Since human pluripotent stem cells were first isolated, research on stem cells has received much public attention, both because of its extraordinary promise and because of relevant legal and ethical issues. Regenerative medicine is classified into cell therapy that does not require a scaffold and tissue engineering that requires a scaffold and bioactive substances such as growth factors; though both need adult stem cells. Bioengineers, life scientists, and physicians across all specialties are synergistically coupling expertise in areas such as cell culture technology, tissue transfer, cell differentiation, angiogenesis, computer modeling, and polymer chemistry to use adipose tissue as a base for regenerative medicine.

On November 2008, during a meeting of Yves-Gérard Illouz and Aris Sterodimas in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, the idea to write a book focusing on adipose stem cells and their role in regenerative medicine was born. This book is the most up-to-date text on regenerative medicine based on adipose stem cells. There are 24 chapters by international experts with the newest techniques explained in detail. Bioengineers, life scientists, and physicians from Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Greece, Indonesia, Israel, Italy, Korea, Japan, Switzerland, Turkey, United Arabic Emirates, UK, and USA joined forces in order to ensure the reader is provided information both about the basic biology of adipose stem cells, and their therapeutic potential. This book contains chapters focused on the applications of adipose stem cells on specific fields, like cardiology, orthopedic surgery, neurology, urology, otolaryngology, plastic and reconstructive surgery, organ transplantation, and dentistry. Also included are chapters on adipose stem cells as therapeutic delivery tools for gene therapy, in the field of pharmacology and obesity. The science represented in this book focuses exclusively on scientific publications, paying extreme attention to the safety and ethics considerations for developing adipose stem cell-based therapies.

The compilation of this book on the latest advances in the field of adipose stem cell research required the participation of many individuals. We wish to sincerely thank all the authors for contributing to this book. We would like to acknowledge, in particular, the contribution of Mrs. Mahalakshmi and the Springer team for the meticulous type-editing of the chapter in this book and Mrs. Ellen Blasig from Springer-Verlag for her continuous support since we embarked on this project in January 2010.

Foreword

It has been said that man is entering a new era of discoveries, the truly first revolution since the discovery and harnessing of fire. In a word: biotechnology. This vast and growing field of knowledge presents to us, on a daily basis, inventions that only a few years ago would have seemed to be taken out of a story by Jules Verne. The correlated sciences that surround biotechnology stretch from engineering to computers, from biology to nanotechnology. As physicians, we are challenged with new concepts and terminology that already are part of our lexicon. It is in this spirit that my fellow plastic surgeons, Drs. Illouz and Sterodimas, present to the medical reader the book Adipose Stem Cells and Regenerative Medicine.

Dr. Illouz is recognized as a pioneer in liposuction, and it is natural that, with his curious mind, he follows his interest in adipose tissues, immersing into the everexpanding discipline of cell culture and derivation. The promise of perpetuating and renovating whole tissues is leading us into a new era of medical practice, called regenerative medicine. Together with Dr. Sterodimas, a younger colleague, recently graduated from our school, Dr. Illouz stimulates our intellect, opening new vistas to an unknown future.

The authors are to be congratulated for this pioneering publication.

Arle: Essential Neuromodulation

The field of Functional Neurosurgery and Neuromodulation is experiencing a renaissance. The reasons for this are many. First, numerous patients with neurological and psychiatric disorders continue to be disabled despite the best available medical treatments. Second, there have been important advances in the understanding of the pathophysiology of these disorders. Third, there have been significant improvements in both structural and functional brain imaging, which make the identification of potential targets easier. Fourth, there have been significant improvements in the neurosurgical techniques, such as neuronavigation and microelectrode recording, as well as in the equipment, including the stimulating electrodes, the pulse generators, and the drug delivery pumps, that are being used in day-to-day treatment.

There are a large number of circuits in the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves that are amenable to neuromodulation. Both constant electrical stimulation as well as responsive electrical stimulation are possible, in addition to modulation through the delivery of pharmacological agents. As this field evolves, we anticipate the further development and application of novel forms of modulation based upon techniques such as optogenetics and gene therapy, with the latter currently being evaluated in a number of trials in Parkinson's disease. In addition, there is some re-emerging activity in transplantation as an investigational therapy.

The types of pathologies that are being treated with neuromodulation include pain, movement disorders, psychiatric disease, and epilepsy, and the patients that could benefit from these therapies are many. The future is bright for this specialty, and we need to train young neurosurgeons to embark on this fascinating aspect of neurosurgery.

This book compiles a series of works by experts who discuss various aspects of this field. It provides an overview of the entire discipline, tells us where we have been, and also where we are heading.

AANA Advanced Arthroscopy: The Foot and Ankle (Expert Consult Series) with DVD

The Arthroscopy Association of North America (AANA) is a robust and growing organization whose mission, simply stated, is to provide leadership and expertise in arthroscopic and minimally invasive surgery worldwide.

Towards that end, this five-volume series represents the very best that AANA has to offer the clinician in need of a timely, authoritative, and comprehensive arthroscopic textbook. These textbooks covering the shoulder, elbow and wrist, hip, knee, and foot and ankle were conceived and rapidly consummated over a 15-month timeline. The need for an up-to-date and cogent text as well as a step-by-step video supplement was the driving force behind the rapid developmental chronology. The topics and surgical techniques represent the cutting edge in arthroscopic philosophy and technique, and the individual chapters follow a reliable and helpful format in which the pathoanatomy is detailed and the key elements of the physical examination are emphasized in conjunction with preferred diagnostic imaging. Indications and contraindications are followed by a thorough discussion of the treatment algorithm, both nonoperative and surgical, with an emphasis on arthroscopic techniques. Additionally, a Pearls and Pitfalls section provides for a distilled summary of the most important features in each chapter. A brief annotated bibliography is provided in addition to a comprehensive reference list so that those who want to study the most compelling literature can do so with ease. The supporting DVD meticulously demonstrates the surgical techniques, and will undoubtedly serve as a critical resource in preparing for any arthroscopic intervention.

I am most grateful for the outstanding effort provided by the volume editors: Rick Angelo and Jim Esch (shoulder), Buddy Savoie and Larry Field (elbow and wrist), Thomas Byrd and Carlos Guanche (hip), Rob Hunter and Nick Sgaglione (knee), and Ned Amendola and Jim Stone (foot and ankle). Their collective intellect, skill, and dedicaton to AANA made this series possible. Furthermore, I sincerely thank all the chapter contributors whose expertise and wisdom can be found in every page. Elsevier, and in particular Kim Murphy, Ann Ruzycka Anderson, and Kitty Lasinski, was a delight to work with, and deserves our gratitude for a job well done. I would be remiss if I did not acknowledge that the proceeds of this five-volume series will go directly to the AANA Education Foundation, from which ambitious and state-of-the-art arthroscopic educational initiatives will be funded.

Leatherbarrow: Oculoplastic Surgery 2nd Edition

This book has been written with the intention of providing the reader with a pragmatic approach to the diagnosis and management of patients presenting with a broad range of oculoplastic, orbital, and lacrimal problems. Although aimed primarily at the ophthalmologist with a special interest in the subject, it should prove very useful to clinicians of all grades and experience in a number of other specialties that share an interest in the fields of ophthalmic plastic and reconstructive surgery, orbital and lacrimal surgery:

• Plastic surgeons
• Maxillofacial surgeons
• ENT surgeons
• Neurosurgeons
• Dermatologists and dermatological surgeons
• Radiologists

The reader should already have acquired a basic knowledge of eyelid, orbital, and facial anatomy and should seek to expand this knowledge as much as possible. As the eye, periocular area, and orbit represent a major crossroads of surgical anatomical dissection, the surgeon who wishes to contribute to this field should acquire a very detailed knowledge of the anatomy of this area and its adjacent structures. Applied anatomy relevant to each disorder and to each surgical procedure is presented in a dedicated chapter and the operative procedures described are based on anatomical principles as much as possible.

Important principles are highlighted in the text as key points in boxes. Pertinent clinical signs, investigations, surgical indications, important technical considerations, and complications receive appropriate emphasis in each chapter. The surgical techniques and procedures described are not exhaustive but represent those most commonly used in the author’s own surgical practice. The text is accompanied by a considerable number of high-quality color photographs and complementary original illustrations. References have not been cited throughout the text; instead, further reading lists have been provided at the end of each chapter to serve as a starting point for those who may wish to pursue additional information.

Book Review

There are many books in print addressing surgery in the periocular region, but this second edition of Oculoplastic Surgery is a must for all readers that want a refreshing and comprehensive approach to these surgical procedures. Brian Leatherbarrow brings a different perspective due to his combined training in England with Mr. Richard Collin and in the United States with Dr. Jeffrey Nerad and myself. During my time with Brian, I noted that he always approached patients in an organized manner based on facial and periorbital anatomical relationships. I have adopted some of his approaches, which have improved the surgical care of patients in my practice. Brian combines the best of his training and shares his 20 years of surgical practice in this book.

This second edition continues the practical approach to the diagnosis and management of a variety of oculoplastic, orbital, and lacrimal challenges. Brian shares his experience through the complete and anatomically-based descriptions of surgical procedures that have brought satisfactory results to his patients over the years. The chapters are comprehensive with regard to clinical presentations, patient selection, surgical indications, technical aspects of procedures, salient features for successful procedures, and potential complications. His narrative is exquisitely accented with both illustrations and numerous color photos of procedures and patients. Each chapter ends with suggested reading for further investigation. This approach provides an engaging presentation for the interested reader and a concise method of teaching that guides you to successful surgical procedures. This book adds to our understanding of the treatment of patients with oculoplastic conditions.

I congratulate Brian for undertaking the enormous task of a second edition to an already excellent textbook. There are ample improvements in this edition that will satisfy readers from any field with an interest in the area of oculoplastic and reconstructive surgery.
