Illuminating neck dissection resource presents innovative techniques and insightful clinical pearls!This updated second edition of Functional and Selective Neck Dissection by Javier Gavilán, Alejandro Castro, Laura Rodrigáñez, and Jesús Herranz presents a unique point of view based on fascial dissection techniques developed by several generations of renowned surgeons at La Paz University Hospital. The book lays a foundation with in-depth discussion of fascial compartmentalization of the neck. The text covers the evolution of modern neck dissection, from George Crile in 1906 to current cutting-edge procedures, and details the transition from radical neck dissection to a less aggressive, equally effective approach for treating lymph node metastases in head and neck cancer.The relationship between functional and selective neck dissection is discussed from a pragmatic and nonconventional perspective, elucidating the connection from historical, anatomic, and surgical standpoints. The authors differentiate conceptual approaches, keystones in the evolution of scientific knowledge from surgical techniques, technical variations of a standard procedure designed to most effectively resolve a problem. The primary goal is providing the reader with expert guidance on a full spectrum of fundamental surgical techniques.Key HighlightsSequential operative photographs of actual procedures performed by the authors complemented by stellar illustrations further understanding of techniquesLess radical operations discussed from American and Latin perspectives, ensuring a complete picture and integration of well-rounded best practicesA chapter dedicated to hints and pitfalls offers insightful technical advice and precautions acquired through decades of practiceFrequently asked questions and answers afford key insights on important surgical decisions, while suggested readings provide additional helpful materialsThis is an indispensable resource for practicing head and neck surgeons who treat patients with malignant tumors.

Clinically, they are mostly asymptomatic, often incidentally found on pelvic examination or by routine gynecological ultrasonographic evaluation; otherwise, in 30\u201340% of cases, they cause a large variety of symptoms, depending on their location and size. Currently, the therapeutic options for myomas are medical, radiological, and surgical. The aim of this book is to summarize the evidence regarding epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical presentation, diagnosis and management of uterine myomas.","publication_date":"2019-01-01","upload_link":"https:\/\/search.ebscohost.com\/login.aspx?direct=true&site=eds-live&db=nlebk&AN=2396229&authtype=shib&custid=ns346513&group=main&profile=eds","no_of_pages":"","authored_by":"Simone Ferrero, Simone Ferrero","header":{"DbId":"nlebk","DbLabel":"eBook Collection (EBSCOhost)","An":"2396229","RelevancyScore":"1097","PubType":"eBook","PubTypeId":"ebook","PreciseRelevancyScore":"1096.64697265625"},"plink":"https:\/\/search.ebscohost.com\/login.aspx?direct=true&site=eds-live&db=nlebk&AN=2396229&authtype=shib&custid=ns346513&group=main&profile=eds","additionalInfo":{"Authored_By":"Javier Gavilan, Alejandro Castro, Laura Rodrig\u00e1nez, Jesus Herranz-Gonz\u00e1lez, Javier Gavilan, Alejandro Castro, Laura Rodrig\u00e1nez, Jesus Herranz-Gonz\u00e1lez","Categories":"MEDICAL \/ Otolaryngology, MEDICAL \/ Surgery \/ General","Subjects":"Neck--Cancer--Surgery, Head--Cancer--Surgery, Otolaryngology","Electronic_ISBN":"9783132419544","Print_ISBN":"9783132419537","Languages":"English","Published_Date":"2020-01-01","Resource_Type":"eBook.","Title_Abbreviations":"Functional and Selective Neck Dissection"}}
