Prognosis and Outcomes in Surgical Diseases is an indispensible reference that will
not only help you save time and optimize outcomes, but also facilitate the
informed consent process with surgical patients under your care. This book is
unique for both its wide-ranging scope and problem-solving approach. In a
single convenient volume, you gain immediate access to concise, algorithmic
presentations of expected outcomes for the surgical treatment of more than 150
different conditions, covering 95% of all conditions a surgeon may encounter.
Information that used to take hours to uncover is now at your fingertips— and accessible at a glance. Furthermore, it
is supplied by over 150 world renowned experts. Just open the text to the appropriate section, scan the algorithm to
assess your options, and consult the shaded outcomes to weigh the pros and cons of the various treatments. For ease
of reference, each disorder commands its own two-page spread, allowing you (and your patient) to compare and
contrast therapies quickly, clearly, and objectively.
