Atlas of Surgical Anatomy – Serie

In emergency and urgent conditions, far from the comfort zone of elective surgery, it is crucial to select the surgical approach based on the type and location of the injury. This choice can make the difference between the success and failure of the procedure. However, making quick decisions is not enough: it is essential to understand the muscles, vessels, and nerves in their topographical relations in order to perform surgery with full respect for the patient’s anatomy, preserving soft tissues and vascularization while avoiding iatrogenic injuries.Surgical Approaches in Traumatology is an anatomy atlas with a clear practical focus. Featuring 100 operative field images, 200 anatomical drawings, and the iconography of emblematic clinical cases, it introduces the most useful anatomical approaches for different clinical scenarios encountered by trauma surgeons. The atlas provides the simplest illustration of the steps of an operation, progressing from superficial tissues to the skeletal plane at the site of the injury, to ensure a safe and effective surgical approach.
