Partial Breast Reconstruction: Techniques in Oncoplastic Surgery DVD plus Book

Edited by Albert Losken, MD, FACS and Moustapha Hamdi, MD, PhD, FCCP

Partial Breast Reconstruction is a groundbreaking work in reconstructive surgery edited and written by international leaders in this field. It presents the latest reconstructive techniques for breast cancer patients who have breast conserving surgery (BCT) where the primary treatment is partial mastectomy and radiation therapy. With the “oncoplastic approach” women are now able to preserve their breasts while still maintaining a breast that is aesthetic, symmetric, and well shaped.

Today, breast conserving therapy has become the standard of care for many women diagnosed with breast cancer. Unfortunately, the incidence of poor cosmetic results is relatively high with standard BCT. This book provides surgeons with the techniques needed to improve aesthetic outcomes while maintaining oncologic standards. It focuses on three critical areas: 1) improving the breast resection to ensure the most aesthetic outcome, 2) preventing a deformity with partial breast reconstruction when a poor cosmetic outcome is anticipated, and 3) correcting a post-radiation deformity when it occurs

EBM Guidelines is a unique, concise and easy-to-use collection of clinical guidelines for primary care combined with the best available evidence. Continuously updated EBM Guidelines follows the latest developments in clinical medicine and brings evidence into practice.

The collection includes:

• Almost 1000 concise primary care practice guidelines covering a wide range of medical conditions. Both diagnosis and treatment are included.
• Over 3000 high-quality evidence summaries supporting the given recommendations - a specific feature of the guidelines is the use of evidence codes (graded from A where strong evidence exists and further research is unlikely to change the conclusion, to D where the evidence is weak and the estimate of effect is uncertain)·
• A library of 1000 high-quality photographs and images of all common and many rare dermatological conditions, electrocardiograms and eye pictures.
• All reviews from The Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews cited within EBM Guidelines are provided in full text.

EBM Guidelines is the key source of practical information for primary care and a powerful tool reflecting real clinical experience.
