Despite the many advances in surgical technique, infection remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in surgical patients. In Manual of Surgical Infections, three of the most prominent specialists in the field apply the latest developments in diagnosis, surgical management, and antimicrobial therapy to the traditional approaches to surgical infections. Surgeons, surgical housestaff, and students will find the Manual an excellent source of advice on the most important issues in the diagnosis and treatment of surgical infections.
Opening with a chapter on Initial Antimicrobial Therapy of Bacterial Infections, the Manual provides comprehensive coverage of infections of specific body parts or systems. Drs. Gorbach, Bartlett, and Nichols evaluate the conventional approaches to management and state their opinions in controversial areas. They emphasize that neither surgery nor antimicrobial drugs can, in isolation, produce good results in the treatment of surgical infection. They stress diagnosis, followed by a treatment plan that combines judicious surgical intervention with appropriate antimicrobial agents and physiologic support measures. Separate chapters discuss antimicrobial drugs, prophylactic antibiotics, epidemiology and prevention, and specimen collection for microbiology. Throughout the text, charts and tables summarize important information.
Practical, readable, and helpful, the Manual of Surgical Infections is meant to accompany the surgeon on rounds or in the office. In the clear outline style that characterizes the entire Little, Brown Spiral® Manual Series, it restates and updates traditional approaches to supply authoritative guidance on virtually any surgical infection. Surgeons, housestaff, and students can turn to Manual of Surgical Infections for concise, dependable information, conveniently arranged for fast access and frequent use.
