This brilliantly conceived new Atlas reflects a unique collaboration of surgeon and artist, and is destined to become the standard pre-operative review for practicing surgeons and an authoritative guide for residents.
Over 100 commonly performed adult and pediatric operative procedures are detailed in more than 1,100 precisely rendered drawings exclusively commissioned for this volume and presented in a large-page format. Renowned artists Charles Stern and Lauren Keswick worked alongside Dr. Gliedman and his associates to record the essential elements and highlight the clinical significance of each procedural step. Concise facing- page explanatory text guides you through each procedure.

Succinctly covered in step-by-step fashion are the surgical approaches for performing each procedure, surgical ``tricks,'' acceptable alternative techniques, and common pitfalls. The surgical techniques detailed in the Atlas are based on those employed on the surgical service at Albert Einstein College of Medicine/Montefiore Medical Center. This collaboration of surgeons who have worked together for over two decades, and a team of artists who worked with each surgeon, ensures a continuity of approach and uniformity of presentation that sets this unique Atlas apart.
