About this book
Fat redistribution theory is dispelled. A unique chapter titled “The Metabolic Effect of Liposuction” reveals some surprising positive effects of liposuction. The limitations of alternative nonsurgical treatments are the subject of a chapter titled “Evaluating New Technologies.”
A novel chapter describes SAFE (Spontaneous breathing, Avoid gas, Face up, Extremities mobile) anesthesia as a replacement for traditional general endotracheal anesthesia – lowering risk, minimizing blood loss, and reducing recovery times.
The last two chapters will have many readers reconsidering traditional methods of venous thromboembolism (VTE) prevention. Chapter 12 exposes the shortcomings of risk prediction methods and routine anticoagulation. The final chapter describes the use of ultrasound for VTE surveillance. These chapters will likely find an audience among surgeons from all specialties and anesthesiologists. For scientifically inclined readers, whether seasoned surgeons or residents, this unique resource may well lead to evidence-based changes in their practices.
Reviews
“At the heart of Evidence-Based Body Contouring Surgery and VTE Prevention are the author’s numerous, self-financed studies that he has published in peer-reviewed journals. … He firmly supports his techniques and perioperative patient care based on these references and his studies. … Regardless of what readers ultimately decide to tease out from this book and incorporate, blanketly dismissing Swanson’s reasoning and concepts will be done at their own jeopardy.” (Alan Matarasso, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Vol. 143 (3), March, 2019)
