Recenzje

"This book provides up-to-date recommendations in clinical decision making for common clinical scenarios in endocrine surgery where the recommended management strategy is not always straightforward. It provides a well-organized summary of current literature with easy-to-follow tables summarizing pertinent data from the studies used to support the authors' recommendations. It is an excellent resource for endocrine surgeons and trainees to maintain/develop an evidence-based practice." (Anna C Beck, Doody's Book Reviews, February, 2019)

Dr. Angelos also has extensive expertise in medical ethics, and serves as associate director of the University of Chicago MacLean Center for Clinical Medical Ethics. 

Dr. Raymon H. Grogan is a nationally respected board certified surgeon practising in Houston, Texas with a particular interest in Endocrine Surgery. He is the co-author of several national guidelines on endocrine surgery. He is also a pioneer of several novel techniques for operating on the thyroid and parathyroid and is one of only a handful of specialists on Transoral Endocrine Surgery in the USA. In 2017 he was awarded the prestigious Paul LoGerfo Research Grant from the American Association of Endocrine Surgeons to study the relationship between the human microbiome and thyroid disease.

Blurb

This book provides a comprehensive overview of difficult decisions encountered within endocrine surgery. Brief uniformly formatted chapters are devoted to answering specific questions relevant to a range of topics across endocrine surgery based upon detailed analysis of available evidence.Topics covered include clinical decision analysis, decision making from the surgeon’s and patient’s perspective, using surgery as opposed to observation for papillary thyroid microcarcinoma, and the use of parathyroid cryopreservation. 

Difficult Decisions in Endocrine Surgery: An Evidence-Based Approach features a wealth of information on ideal approaches for making clinical decisions in selected clinical situations. It is an important and timely resource for all endocrine surgical trainees, fellows, practitioners, educators, and healthcare providers involved in the management of these patients.
