Vascular Surgery Handbook: A Comprehensive Guide for Trainees

Edited by Linda Hands, Michael Murphy, and Michael Sharp, this handbook is specifically designed to meet the needs of vascular trainees, providing them with a practical and accessible resource that can be easily carried in their pocket.

Practical Guidance for Common Peripheral Vascular Problems

This comprehensive guide offers practical advice on all commonly encountered peripheral vascular problems, covering surgical details, background information on presentation, and essential information on preoperative investigation and postoperative management.

Moreover, it provides valuable insights for seeking patient consent, making it an indispensable resource for vascular trainees.

Relevant Information for Surgical Activity Recording

Each operation is accompanied by an OPCS code, which is increasingly important in recording surgical activity. This handbook ensures that trainees are well-equipped to accurately record their surgical activities.

Alternative Interventions and Multidisciplinary Approach

In addition to surgical approaches, this handbook also covers alternative interventions, including radiological procedures and medical management, reflecting the evolving role of the vascular specialist who requires expertise in all three fields.

This comprehensive guide is suitable for vascular trainees at all levels, from their earliest encounters with the field to those completing their fellowship. It will also be of interest to PRHOs on vascular wards, specialist vascular nurses, vascular anesthetists, intensivists, and vascular radiologists.

With 640 pages of in-depth information, this handbook is an essential resource for anyone involved in vascular surgery.
