In this book, interdisciplinary teams of authors, consisting of surgeons and anaesthetists, describe the most common surgical procedures from the surgical specialties and their significance for anaesthesiological management. The book is aimed at all anaesthetists in training and further education, as well as specialists in anaesthesia who, looking over the operating drape, would like to understand even better what the operation means for their patients - preoperatively, intraoperatively, and postoperatively. Each chapter is systematically structured: Surgery and special surgical features include a brief description of the operation and information on the duration of the operation, positioning, incision, blood loss, pain intensity, complications, and special features of the operation itself. Anesthesia and anesthesiological specialties provide operation-specific knowledge about laboratory, education, premedication, prophylaxis, and more.
