Now in its fifth edition, Medical Management of the Surgical Patient: A Textbook of Perioperative Medicine has been
fully revised and updated and continues to provide an authoritative account of all aspects of perioperative care for
surgical patients. Including recommended plans which aid accurate treatment of patients, it provides an evidence-based
approach for consulting physicians to care for patients with underlying medical conditions that will affect their
surgical management. The latest minimally invasive surgical techniques are included, with new chapters on thoracic
aortic disease, reconstruction after cancer ablation, lung transplantation, esophagomyotomy, vasectomy and thyroid
malignancies, amongst others. With detailed descriptions of nearly one-hundred operations, highlighting their usual
course as well as their common complications, the book encourages learning from experience. This definitive account
includes numerous contributions from leading experts at national centers of excellence. It will continue to serve as a
significant reference work for internists, hospitalists, anesthesiologists and surgeons.
