- Book Synopsis
- This successful book, now Open Access in its second edition, was the first to discuss skin necrosis as a symptom related to a broad range of pathologies. In recent years, wound care has gained increasing recognition as a distinct medical specialty. An understanding of the complex mechanisms involved in wound healing facilitates efficient assessment and treatment of patients with wounds, and skin necrosis can be considered the starting point in the entire healing process. Richly illustrated, this volume primarily provides therapeutic strategies and treatment algorithms for different clinical contexts, covering topics in distinct part: starting from definitions, physiopathology, vascular and imaging investigations, it then examines skin necrosis in its diverse clinical context, each assigned to a specific part: whether originated from physical injuries, of toxic origin, of medical or infectious nature, the content then shifts from the clinical context to the more specifically surgical context, and the application of existing techniques from dressing to debriding, including sharp and conservative ones. Dedicated sections deal with the pediatric and the elderly patients, closing the volume with a part on debridement education, from the perspective of the nurse and the physician, and finally a chapter on distance skin necrosis management, in the light of e-Health and personalized medicine. All chapters were written by renowned specialists in their respected fields and include detailed sample cases and essential take-home messages; the topics that require an in-depth approach are extensively covered, whereas clinical chapters are more essential, focusing on practicality. In light of the highly interdisciplinary nature of wound management, this new, updated edition of Skin Necrosis will be a much-valued tool for wound care practitioners and health care professionals across the fields of surgery, dermatology, internal medicine, and nursing.
