Mandell Brian F. (ed.) Perioperative Management of Patients with Rheumatic Disease

Springer, 2013. — 407 p. — ISBN: 978-1461422020.Perioperative Management of Patients with Rheumatic Disease fills a conspicuous gap in the literature and aims at providing a paved path for rheumatologists--who infrequently manage surgical problems--and medical consultants--who only seldom encounter patients with rheumatic diseases--to tread as they care for patients in the perioperative period. The book addresses discrete management issues from the perspective of the medical subspecialist and also offers concise descriptions of surgical procedures.
