Features: Surgical operation is a major means of treating diseases. With the development of science and the advancement of medical technology, the scope of surgical treatment for diseases has been continuously expanding. Surgical techniques have undergone many improvements and innovations, and numerous new surgical methods have emerged. Traditional surgical methods have also evolved. To meet the needs of the development of surgery in China and to provide a comprehensive introduction to various surgical methods currently used in clinical practice as well as perioperative management to a broad range of physicians who rely on surgery as a treatment method, we, under the organization and leadership of the Health Department of the General Logistics Department of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, compiled this "Comprehensive Surgery."
Focusing on the urgent needs of surgical physicians and the realities of clinical work, the book presents practical perspectives, emphasizing and systematically introducing conventional surgical procedures and their modifications that are widely used in clinical practice. It also highlights new surgical methods that represent current trends and analyzes controversial surgical approaches that have a significant impact in clinical practice. Additionally, the book introduces some uncommon surgical procedures of academic significance. The content presented in this book is quite comprehensive, offering extremely rich knowledge.
Based on the previous edition, this book systematically elaborates on the fundamental theories and various surgical methods in plastic and burn surgery. It covers various skin grafts, flaps, tissue transplantation, the treatment of scars and keloids, the surgical treatment of superficial tumors, skin and soft tissue expansion, endoscopic techniques in plastic surgery, reconstructive surgery for the scalp and skull, as well as the plastic repair of deformities and defects in the eyes, ears, nose, lips, hands, torso, lower limbs, external genitalia, and perianal regions. It also includes cosmetic surgery, as well as burn debridement, skin grafting for repair, amputation surgery, and special burn treatment. The book primarily focuses on common and classic surgical procedures while also introducing relatively mature and newly developed surgeries.
Each surgical procedure is detailed in terms of indications, contraindications, preoperative preparation, anesthesia and positioning, surgical steps, key points to note during the operation, postoperative management, and major complications. The book is accompanied by precise anatomical diagrams and surgical operation illustrations. The authors primarily summarize their own practical experience while also referencing the latest domestic and international literature, providing a relatively comprehensive reflection of the current level of development in plastic and burn surgery. The book holds high academic and practical value, making it suitable for learning and reference by plastic surgeons, burn surgeons at all levels, and faculty and students of medical schools.
