Featuring over 750 full-color illustrations, this text gives surgeons a thorough working knowledge of anatomy as seen during specific operative procedures. The book is organized regionally and covers 111 open and laparoscopic procedures in every part of the body. For each procedure, the text presents anatomic and technical points, operative safeguards, and potential errors. Illustrations depict the topographic and regional anatomy visualized throughout each operation. This edition has an expanded thoracoscopy chapter and new chapters on oncoplastic techniques; subxiphoid pericardial window; pectus excavatum/carinatum procedures; open and laparoscopic pyloromyotomy; and laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding. A companion Website will offer the fully searchable text and an image bank.
To better reflect its new and expanded content, the name of the 4th edition of Operative Anatomy has been changed to Essential Operative Techniques and Anatomy. In this latest edition, the text’s focus on clinically relevant surgical anatomy will still remain, but it is now organized by anatomical regions rather than by procedures. Then to further ensure its relevance as a valuable reference tool, the number of chapters has been expanded to 134 and the color art program has also been increased significantly.
Operative Anatomy of the Heart offers a unique collection of data and artwork, illustrating cardiovascular surgery and surgical procedures. The coverage is exhaustive, extending to the entire anatomy of the human chest. An appendix presents cross sections of the human body: thoracic, abdominal and pelvic cavity. These are presented as morphological guidelines for better interpretation of the computer scans. This is a book of unique visual and functional utility.
Written and edited by expert surgeons in collaboration with a world-renowned anatomist, this exquisitely illustrated reference consolidates surgical, anatomical and technical knowledge for the entire human body in a single volume. Part of the highly respected Gray’s ‘family,’ this new resource brings to life the applied anatomical knowledge that is critically important in the operating room, with a high level of detail to ensure safe and effective surgical practice. Gray’s Surgical Anatomy is unique in the field: effectively a textbook of regional anatomy, a dissection manual, and an atlas of operative procedures – making it an invaluable resource for surgeons and surgical trainees at all levels of experience, as well as students, radiologists, and anatomists. Brings you expert content written by surgeons for surgeons, with all anatomical detail quality assured by Lead Co-Editor and Gray’s Anatomy Editor-in-Chief, Professor Susan Standring. Features superb colour photographs from the operating room, accompanied by detailed explanatory artwork and figures from the latest imaging modalities - plus summary tables, self-assessment questions, and case-based scenarios – making it an ideal reference and learning package for surgeons at all levels. Reflects contemporary practice with chapters logically organized by anatomical region, designed for relevance to surgeons across a wide range of subspecialties, practice types, and clinical settings – and aligned to the requirements of current trainee curricula. Maximizes day-to-day practical application with references to core surgical procedures throughout, as well as the ‘Tips and Anatomical Hazards’ from leading international surgeons. Demonstrates key anatomical features and relationships that are essential for safe surgical practice - using brand-new illustrations, supplemented by carefully selected contemporary artwork from the most recent edition of Gray’s Anatomy and other leading publications. Integrates essential anatomy for robotic and minimal access approaches, including laparoscopic and endoscopic techniques. Features dedicated chapters describing anatomy of lumbar puncture, epidural anaesthesia, peripheral nerve blocks, echocardiographic anatomy of the heart, and endoscopic anatomy of the gastrointestinal tract – as well as a unique overview of human factors and minimizing error in the operating room, essential non-technical skills for improving patient outcomes and safety.

This book presents neurosurgical anatomy by detailing approaches on cadavers in the same position patients would be placed in during a real operative procedure. Anatomy is described in: all commonly used cranial and cranial base approaches anterior, posterior, anterolateral and posterolateral approaches to all segments of the spine all commonly performed procedures on peripheral nerves endoscopic approaches to cranial and spinal neurosurgery Stresses the understanding of the anatomy rather than the performance of the procedure.
This title is directed primarily towards health care professionals outside of the United States. It will be of interest to Candidates for the Fellowship in General Surgery of the Royal College of Surgeons and equivalent examinations, in particular the Fellowship of the Australian College of Surgeons. It describes the anatomical knowledge required for the 45 most common general surgical procedures. Covers approximately 60 of the commonest operations in general surgery that need to be mastered during higher surgical training Each chapter covers the anatomy that will be encountered during the operation Includes notes on anatomical variations that may be encountered Fully illustrated with clear line drawings Matches the knowledge expected of candidates for the General Surgical Fellowship Totally redesigned with new artwork More on endoscopic procedures Greater coverage of anatomical variation that the surgeon will encounter
