The fifth edition of 'Rob & Smith's Operative Surgery: Vascular Surgery' gives vascular surgeons a thoroughly modern presentation of all the operative procedures they were likely to perform. This concise version - reproducing a selection of those procedures most commonly undertaken - shares many features of that volume: high-quality medical illustrations; indications and technical analysis for each operation; attention to potential pitfalls and risks; summarized details of post-operative complications. The chapters include detailed descriptions of the surgical exposure of blood vessels, the techniques of arterial suture and anastomosis, angiography and intra-operative angiography and the intra-operative use of ultrasound. The main bulk of the book explores in detail the common specific vascular operations including carotid endarterectomy, aorto-iliac endarterectomy and bypass grafting, femoropopliteal bypass, aneurysm resection, and the management of vascular injuries and amputations. The last section relates to the treatment of venous disease, with particular emphasis on operations for varicose veins. It intentionally does not include those procedures routinely referred to specialist vascular centres; the focus, instead, being defined by the practice of general surgeons who may perform only a limited variety of vascular work and those operations which trainees on vascular surgery rotations can expect to encounter.

The sixth edition of this acclaimed and established operative atlas continues to provide a unique level of comprehensive detail on operative surgery of the heart and great vessels. With an international list of authors, the chapters have been updated and complemented by the same high quality artwork that has established this operative guide as the gold standard reference for the cardiac surgeon. This new edition retains the format of initial principles and justification for the procedure, followed by preoperative investigations and preparation, the operative procedure, and postoperative management. New chapters have been added on the latest techniques such as minimal invasive surgery, robotic surgery and off-pump bypass surgery. The chapters are arranged in seven sections, with each section emphasising the overall management of patients, tricks of the trade of individual authors and discussion of technical and clinical judgement. With this new and updated edition, Operative Cardiac Surgery remains the pre-eminent operative guide to a full range of cardiac conditions. Print Versions of this book also include access to the ebook version.

Concise Paediatrics, Second Edition is essential reading for all postgraduates training in paediatrics, particularly when preparing for the MRCPCH exam, and for general practice trainees preparing for the DCH exam. As a comprehensive but concise reference to any condition they are likely to encounter on the wards or in the accident and emergency room, it will also be invaluable to doctors in other medical specialties who come into contact with children on a regular basis. The book is designed to provide readers with a full understanding of all of the areas covered by the MRCPCH. It is structured logically by body system, with additional chapters on such topics as genetics, infectious disease, neonatology and emergencies. Edited by two highly experienced paediatricians—their knowledge complemented by a group of specialist contributors—it is written in a succinct, user-friendly style and includes lists, boxes and annotated diagrams to aid learning and retention of the facts. Since the first edition was published in 2000, Concise Paediatrics has established itself as the textbook of choice for MRCPCH candidates, and will remain a "must-have" with this revised and updated second edition.
