    La cirugía de la mano es una especialidad en constante desarrollo. Los avances en la artroplastia de pequeñas articulaciones han mejorado enormemente el tratamiento y los resultados en pacientes con traumatismos, artritis, rigidez e inestabilidad de las articulaciones de la mano y la muñeca. Prótesis en mano, muñeca y codo aborda en profundidad la reconstrucción o sustitución quirúrgica de estas articulaciones. El propósito principal de la obra es poner en conocimiento las distintas técnicas quirúrgicas e implantes protésicos de los que se dispone actualmente, para poder entender y avanzar en este campo. Asimismo, se describe la correcta recuperación funcional, precoz y segura, realizada por fisioterapeutas especializados, y de igual importancia que la propia cirugía.

    • Español
    La cirugía bariátrica es actualmente la única opción para tratar de manera eficaz la obesidad mórbida en personas para quienes medidas más conservadoras como la dieta, el ejercicio y la medicación han fracasado. Este tipo de cirugía contribuye además de manera importante a resolver comorbilidades y a mejorar la calidad de vida. Se ha demostrado que, tras una cirugía bariátrica exitosa, los pacientes obtienen beneficios como reducción de la glucemia y de la presión arterial, reducción o eliminación de la apnea del sueño, y reducción de la carga de trabajo del corazón y de los niveles de colesterol. Manejo nutricional y suplementación en cirugía bariátrica. Guía de práctica clínica es un recurso de referencia que abarca todas las áreas del manejo nutricional y la suplementación en cirugía bariátrica, desde la valoración y la preparación preoperatorias del paciente hasta los cuidados postoperatorios. Se trata de la primera obra latinoamericana publicada en español dirigida a los equipos transdisciplinarios que se dedican al manejo quirúrgico de la obesidad, la diabetes y el síndrome metabólico.
