Opis

In many cases the care of difficult wounds remains unchartered territory: here, international experts from a variety of disciplines provide a 'hands-on' approach to diagnosis and wound management. This acclaimed pictorial guide to wound management provides readers with a broad exposure to cutaneous wounds, both acute and chronic. Each photograph is a clinical vignette that can stand on its own, with a description of the critical diagnostic and therapeutic considerations of each case; many of the clinical situations also have substantial follow-up documentation, thus ensuring a more complete exposure to the problems encountered and the solutions offered. Readers will feel they are 'at the bedside', analysing the wounds with the experts.
