Summary:

Principles and Practice of Surgery is the surgical companion textbook to the international bestseller Davidson's Principles and Practice of Medicine. This comprehensive textbook, for the surgical student and trainee, guides the reader through the core surgical topics which are encountered throughout an integrated medical curriculum as well as in subsequent clinical practice. Sharing the same format and style as Davidson's Principles and Practice of Medicine, this text is however complete in itself, thus enabling the student to appreciate both the medical and surgical implications of diseases encountered in surgical wards.

Features of the new edition: A new chapter on the principles of orthopaedics and fractures extends the scope of the section on surgical specialties. Now presented in full colour with a range of new photographic and imaging illustrations. New colour line-drawings illustrate surgical principles and procedures and facilitate understanding of the key points under discussion. Summary boxes throughout the text aid revision. Relevant areas of evidence-based surgical practice are highlighted throughout the book. An expanded editorial team and a list of thirty-one distinguished contributors bring knowledge and expertise to the book across all surgical specialties.
