Ablation Techniques for Thyroid and Parathyroid Disease by Tufano, Ralph P.; Goldenberg, David; Rangel, Leonardo G.;

Hosszú leírás:

Ablation therapies are transforming the treatment of thyroid and parathyroid disease, offering a truly minimally invasive, focused approach that typically preserves thyroid function. Ablation Techniques for Thyroid and Parathyroid Disease provides comprehensive, in-depth information on safely and effectively treating thyroid and parathyroid diseases with these new technologies. Drs. Ralph P. Tufano, David Goldenberg, and Leonardo G. Rangel, all early adopters of these new techniques, bring their recent experience in teaching ablation therapies to this innovative reference-making it an ideal resource for any physician who seeks to learn more about these therapies and how to employ them in practice.

• Provides extensive, detailed information on ablation techniques for thyroid and parathyroid diseases, with comprehensive coverage of the requirements, concepts, techniques, and results of these novel approaches
• Features ultrasound images and videos on the thyroid and parathyroid disease process, set-up and procedures, follow-up protocols, and expected outcomes
• Depicts techniques in a clear, easy-to-follow manner, with 3D images that provide a detailed perspective of anatomy and how to execute the ablation
• Covers key topics such as indications for ablation, principles and equipment specifics for thermal ablation, fine needle aspiration, auxiliary techniques for thermal ablation treatment, molecular markers and the role of thermal ablation on benign and malignant nodules, and much more
• Includes a how-to training manual, which provides details on getting started, in-office set-up, equipment needs, and safe procedural execution, along with practical recommendations for training modalities and initial cases. This manual also focuses on thorough patient assessment, comfort measures, and complication management
• An eBook version is included with purchase. The eBook allows you to access all of the text, figures, and references, with the ability to search, customize your content, make notes and highlights, and have content read aloud. Additional digital ancillary content may publish up to 6 weeks following the publication date
