A certain standardization has now been introduced into the operative techniques of vascular surgery after the stormy developments of the last few decades. It is to make the knowledge gained in those years more widely available that this operative manual Vascular Surgery has been compiled. It contains contributions from numerous authors at European centers of vascular surgery. Both the young surgeon in training and the more experienced surgeon continuing training will find in this book all the necessary instructions for the diagnosis, preoperative preparation, and reconstructive surgery of the arteries, veins, and lymph vessels (the coronary vessels are excluded from this book, as they are covered separately). The chapters are structured according to a uniform scheme, with sections on special anatomy, indications, surgical tactics, and operative technique. The dynamics of individual operations are illustrated, step by step, in sequences of clear, multicolored figures. Aftercare and alternative angiologic therapies are covered. The vascular surgeon will find here new variants on the usual operative techniques and much stimulating discussion of complications and their prevention and treatment.
