Neuware -The essential multimedia guide on the management of complex nerve injuriesNerve surgery has fully come into its own as a complex, critical, and unique area in the broad field of surgery. Advancements in the management of complex nerve injuries that have occurred over the last three decades are reflected throughout the pages of Nerve Surgery, Second Edition. Edited by renowned nerve surgeon and professor Susan E. Mackinnon, the new edition features contributions from an impressive group of talented surgeons, clinicians, and scientists who are leaders in the field of nerve surgery.The book features 22 chapters written by many new authors, with updates incorporated into practice in the last decade. Introductory chapters cover the history of nerve surgery and essential anatomy and physiology. The subsequent three chapters encompass patient evaluation, electrodiagnostic (EDX) examination of nerve injuries, and nerve repair and grafting principles. The core chapters discuss management of a full range of traumatic and idiopathic nerve syndromes, birth-related nerve injury, and peripheral nerve neoplasms. Technical aspects of nerve transfers, most defined by Mackinnon, are discussed in the updated chapters.The classification of nerve injury has been clarified to recognize a Sunderland zero injury of ischemic block and the implication of immediate recovery of function with surgical decompression. Axonotmetic III as an indication for end to side nerve transfers is explained and the new concept of the critical plateau for functional recovery is introduced and its relationship to axonotmetic III EDX studies and surgical procedures is clarified. Understanding how to interpret EDX studies represents a paradigm shift in patient selection for nerve surgery. The EDX chapter in the second edition represents a unique collaboration between Mackinnon and neurology colleagues, Prof. Muhammad Al-Lozi and Prof. Robert C. Bucelli, over the last two decades on how to read EDX studies.Key Highlights Seventy-eight online videos provide hands-on procedural guidance More than 1,100 high-quality illustrations and operative photographs enhance understanding of anatomy Basic to advanced techniques, including various nerve transfer procedures, processed allografts and conduits, and tendon transfers Completely new chapters focus on historical perspectives, postoperative rehabilitation of nerve transfers, and dissemination and implementation of science in nerve surgeryLike the acclaimed first edition, the updated publication is essential reading for all nerve surgeons, orthopedic, and plastic and reconstructive surgeons, while also providing a solid foundation of knowledge for neurosurgeons, neurologists, otolaryngologists, allied health specialists, and occupational and physical therapists treating patients with nerve injuries.This print book includes a scratch off code to access a complimentary digital copy on MedOne.Publisher's Note: Products purchased from Third Party sellers are not guaranteed by the publisher for quality, authenticity, or access to any online entitlements included with the product.Georg Thieme Verlag KG, Oswald-Hesse-Straße 50, 70469 Stuttgart 770 pp. Englisch.
