This second edition of the comprehensive textbook of endocrine surgery has been completely updated to reflect the changes in this growing field. Written by an international staff of contributors, this book presents the comprehensive knowledge on surgical treatments of disorders of the endocrine system. New chapters on genetic analysis, localization tests for thyroid cancer and new surgical techniques for tumors are offered in this one-stop shop for every endocrine surgeon.
- Considers etiology, embryology, anatomy, clinical manifestations, and diagnostic and localization procedures as well as surgical and other treatment modalities for the full range of endocrine disorders.
- Reviews rationales, pre-operative considerations, operative techniques, and post-operative treatment for each procedure ... as well as the benefits, risks, controversial issues, and cost-effectiveness of each approach.
- Makes complex information easy to understand with more than 500 line drawings and photographs.
