Atlas of Surgical Techniques in Trauma 2nd Edition

As surgical specialization becomes increasingly focused, many surgeons face a growing gap in expertise for managing life-threatening injuries. This thoroughly updated second edition serves as an in-depth, visual guide to both common and rare trauma procedures. Featuring over 900 high-quality color photographs and illustrations, it provides step-by-step guidance using fresh, perfused, and ventilated cadavers. The book covers practical surgical anatomy, procedural sequencing, and highlights common technical pitfalls.

Since the first edition, new techniques have been added, including REBOA (resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta), rib plating for flail chest, and skin grafting. Drawing on the editors' extensive experience in some of the world’s busiest trauma centers, the content has been enhanced and supplemented with additional photographs.

This Atlas is an indispensable resource for trainee and practicing trauma surgeons, general surgeons working far from academic centers, as well as emergency medicine and critical care professionals.
