Annotation
It is obvious how much surgeons have contributed to the development of both the scientific aspect and the practical application of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) in medicine. This new text compiles chapters from the foremost experts in the field of HBOT. The authors and editors are, without exception, experts in their own medical specialties and are also practicing HBOT in their field of medicine. A total of 20 authors from 6 countries have contributed their time and expertise to this new text. Surgeons are using HBOT in their daily practices in a wide variety of indications: Traumatology, Orthopedics, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Urology, Surgical Oncology, Wound Healing, Burn Treatments, Soft Tissue Infections, Cardiothoracic Surgery, Intensive Care Medicine, etc. This textbook is suitable for those seeking an introduction to this expanding field and as an invaluable reference for specialists and physicians interested in exploring or adopting these techniques.
European Journal of Underwater and Hyperbaric Medicine (December, 2002)
“An excellent comprehensive look at the wide variety of surgical indications. Will serve well in the interest of hyperbaric medicine.”

“The book is a must for the library of hyperbaric units and provides excellent references for why hyperbaric oxygen therapy is effective in surgical situations and problem wound healing.”

The
Most Recent Data on Hyperbaric Oxygen
“This
is the most comprehensive book published today, that covers all
surgical indications approved by The Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical
Society. It presents the most recent data on hyperbaric oxygen in
surgery and perioperative care. Recommended for specialists,
physicians and anyone interested in hyperbaric medicine. A unique
book with each chapter written by experts from all over the world.
Each chapter also has a long and very complete list of references. I
highly recommend "Hyperbaric Surgery: Perioperative Care."

A Resource for the Experienced Practitioner 11/25/2002
“Surgery today is rarely carried out in the hyperbaric chamber under increased atmospheric pressure, and as the subtitle suggests, it is the perioperative aspects that are the emphasis of this book. Management of the patient in intensive care carries a comprehensive chapter. Aside from carbon monoxide poisoning and the gas embolic disorders, nearly all the indications for hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) are surgical or have surgical components. This is a comprehensive text for the practicing surgeon. The senior editor is fittingly from the University of Amsterdam where the first modern non-diving uses of the chamber originated. Dr. Bakker began gaining his own surgical experience there over thirty years ago with Professor Ite Boerema, the original pioneer of hyperbaric oxygenation. Twenty authors contributed the 18 chapters of this high quality text, which has many illustrative color plates. Sheffield et al. in a section on the physiological and pharmacological basis of HBOT lay the groundwork. Surgical infections, including osteomyelitis, gas gangrene, and necrotizing soft tissue infections each have their own chapter. Crush injury with compartment syndrome merits its own chapter, and two chapters (van Merkesteyn and Feldmeier) cover maxillofacial radionecrosis and the sequelae of genitourinary and gastrointestinal radiation. Paul Cianci has written an excellent section on the management of thermal burn. For completeness, Cramer included a chapter on gas embolism and Alessandro Marroni contributed one on decompression sickness. The problems of the non-healing wound merit two chapters (Mathieu and Strauss) and Zamboni has written of the several uses of HBOT in plastic surgery. Workman wrote the chapter on chamber design and safety. Tom Hunt and Michael Gimbel conclude with a final chapter on the metabolic basis of wound healing. All of the authors have international recognition in their respective fields. This is a perfect text to introduce HBOT to any surgeon with access to a hyperbaric chamber, as well as being a resource for the experienced practitioner.” 460 pages, 1385 references.
