General Surgery cover

General Surgery: Principles and International Practice is organized into Ten Sections, each representing an important branch of surgical science. It aims to provide the medical student, general surgical resident or active practitioner with an illustrative, instructive and comprehensive textbook depicting the rationale for the basic operative principles mandated by state-of-the-art surgical therapy. The reader can rapidly review the subject matter in a three-to-five page summary with contemporary bibliography in each chapter and a “Pearls and Pitfalls” section summarizing the ‘impact’, concerns and outcomes of surgical management.

Amply supported by line drawings and photographs, algorithms and anatomical depictions, this provides the student of diseases, as well as those studying for Board examinations, a text that has rapidly assimilated data into the most contemporary applications of surgical therapy.

From the reviews:

"This … book covers the full spectrum of topics of interest to general surgeons. … the book organizes the material in a unique and highly practical format. … Written for practicing surgeons, the book should be valuable to residents, fellows, and students as well. … an excellent reference for surgeons preparing to take the boards or preparing for maintenance of certification. … Surgeons who need a … detailed book addressing management of surgical problems (including the most complex ones) will find excellent guidance here." (Carol Scott-Conner, Doody’s Review Service, March, 2009)
