Now in a revised and expanded second edition, this text emphasizes and develops recommendations for surgeons and allied health professionals regarding the unmet needs and epidemiological, socioeconomic and political factors that frame the practice of surgery in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC). At heart, it is a practical guide that enables the reader to work cross-culturally, build relationships and negotiate the logistical challenges of bringing surgical care to low-resource settings as well as develop an approach to the management of various clinical conditions that would be unfamiliar to most western surgeons.Taking the lead from the original edition, the book utilizes a top-down approach, beginning with larger, more general considerations and implications for surgical practice, then narrowing down to focus on the essentials of specific surgical areas. Part one encompasses the history of global surgery, relevant and impactful policy decisions affecting practice, a review of global disparites, and economic and industry-related considerations. Surgical training in LMIC is the focus of part two, including technology, simulation traning, innovation and ethical consideratons, while part three provides context for the the reader for involvement in other countries and cultures. The final and largest section discusses essentials for each area of surgery - orthopedics, obstetrics and gynecology, plastic and neurosurgery, and much more.
