Essential Surgery is a highly respected, internationally popular textbook that is comprehensive, fully updated and a pleasure to read.
The seventh edition provides comprehensive coverage of the subject, from the attributes a surgeon needs, to how to interpret a patient’s story, as well as problem-orientated information about diseases and their management, including emergencies. It covers the full range of surgery, including general and gastro-intestinal surgery, trauma, orthopaedics, vascular surgery, urology, paediatric surgery, cardiothoracic surgery, neurosurgery, maxillofacial surgery and ENT emergencies.
With a logical layout, clear writing style and extensive use of illustrations, this book is ideal for clinical students, surgical trainees in their first few years, as well as for those in professions allied to medicine.
