Synopsis

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.

Synopsis

The interface with trauma and emergency general surgical work is strong and therefore general surgeons and surgeons of many specialties who encounter vascular injury need to maintain an adequate nodding acquaintance with the techniques used and taught by vascular surgeons. This text has been designed to fill this need, covering the broad scope of the vascular surgeon's art step-by-step and in great detail. Particular emphasis is given to the pitfalls and dangers of operations. The chapters include detailed descriptions of the surgical exposure of major blood vessels, the techniques of arterial suture and anastomosis, angiography and intra-operative use of ultrasound. The main bulk of the book explores the common specific vascular operations, including carotid endarterectomy, aorto-iliac endarterectomy and bypass grafting, femoro-popliteal bypass, aneurysm resection, the management of vascular injuries and amputations. The last section of the text relates to the treatment of venous disease and emphasizes the operations for varicose veins.

It should prove of use to vascular surgeons in training, and in particular, to general, trauma, orthopaedic, gastroenterological and oncological specialists who need core knowledge of the techniques of suturing of vessels, repair of vascular injury and the control of haemorrhage.
