    La recuperación intensificada es un abordaje multidisciplinar del cuidado del paciente sometido a cirugía mayor, e implica cambios significativos en el manejo pre-, intra- y postoperatorio para facilitar su óptima recuperación. Rehabilitación multimodal en cirugía recoge la evidencia científica más actual sobre los componentes de la recuperación intensificada y sobre su aplicabilidad en los diferentes procedimientos quirúrgicos. Además, describe los distintos aspectos de la recupera­ción intensificada desde la perspectiva de los especialistas implicados, y expone los protocolos desarrollados para cada especialidad en España.

    Les importantes avancées médicales de ces dernières années ont permis à de nombreuses patientes atteintes de pathologies chroniques d'accéder à la grossesse. Ces mutations du monde médical ont notamment influencé le mode de travail des gynécologues-obstétr... qui ont été amenés à prendre en charge ces patientes de manière plus régulière. Au cours de leur grossesse, ces femmes seront suivies à la fois par le médecin spécialiste de la pathologie et par un médecin obstétricien. Il faut donc que le gynécologue habituellement en charge de la patiente puisse avoir un accès rapide et clair aux informations concernant la pathologie dont souffre cette dernière. Cet ouvrage doit pouvoir répondre à toutes les questions que peuvent se poser les personnes en contact avec la patiente malade : la grossesse est-elle envisageable ? Quels éléments vont devoir faire l'objet d'une surveillance chez la patiente et le fœtus ? Cette grossesse va-t-elle impliquer une modification du traitement habituel ? Des complications inhérentes à la grossesse vont-elles voir le jour ? L'ouvrage liste ainsi la grande majorité des maladies chroniques et proposent à chaque fois des rappels et une marche à suivre simple afin de gérer au mieux des situations souvent difficiles. Cet ouvrage est destiné aux gynécologues obstétriciens, aux internes, aux généralistes, aux sages-femmes, et à tous les acteurs de la prise en charge des grossesses à risque.
