Synopsis:
Millions of people undergo surgery each year at hospitals or same- day surgery centers in the U.S. Whether it is done to relieve pain, prevent or treat a serious health condition, or repair trauma, surgery carries significant risks, but new developments in surgical technique have helped minimize surgical complications and patient risks. Surgery Sourcebook, 3rd Edition, describes the most common surgical procedures and discusses preparations patients might want to make prior to surgery, as well as postsurgical physical discomforts, nutrition and exercise considerations, and recovery strategies. The book is organized in the broad subject areas detailed below. Please see the Table of Contents for a more complete understanding of the comprehensive coverage offered in Surgery Sourcebook, 3rd Edition.
