Operative Techniques in Surgery, Second Edition, is a comprehensive surgical atlas that emphasizes the "how and why" of contemporary surgery. It features concise, bulleted text, full-color illustrations, and intraoperative photographs to clarify exactly what to look for and how to proceed. Meticulously edited by Drs. Mary T. Hawn, Aurora D. Pryor, Steven J. Hughes, Daniel Albo, Michael S. Sabel, Kellie R. Brown, and Amy J. Goldberg, this two-volume surgical atlas focuses on the steps of each technique, rapidly directing you to the information you need to choose the right approach for each patient, perform it successfully, and achieve the best possible results.

Coverage includes open as well as laparoscopic, robotic, endoscopic, and endovascular procedures in gastrointestinal, thoracic, esophageal, colorectal, hepatobiliary, breast, endocrine, dermatologic, vascular, and trauma surgery.

A new, comprehensive section on trauma surgery, helmed by trauma expert Dr. Amy J. Goldberg, has been added. New section editors for esophageal and foregut surgery and vascular surgery, Dr. Aurora D. Pryor, minimally invasive surgery leader, and Kellie R. Brown, expert in vascular surgery, have also been appointed.

New videos, personally selected by contributing authors and editors, accompany numerous chapters throughout the book.

Each procedure follows the same format: differential diagnosis, patient history and physical findings, imaging and other diagnostic studies, surgical management, techniques, pearls and pitfalls, postoperative care, outcomes, and complications.

The VST EBook contains over 90 videos of procedures depicted in the text, providing a visual reference for surgeons.

With its emphasis on the "how and why" of contemporary surgery, Operative Techniques in Surgery, Second Edition, is an invaluable resource for surgeons of all levels. It will help you improve your surgical skills and achieve better patient outcomes.
