Summary:

This eighth edition provides a ready source of information related to surgical practice and disease. The textbook remains relevant for the medical student, for the recently qualified doctor on the surgical ward and for the surgical trainee who requires an up-to-date overview of the management approach to surgical pathology. The content is patient focused, reflects the fact that the care of the surgical patient is multidisciplinary and is as much about resuscitation and when not to operate as to intervening surgically to deliver a better patient outcome. This book will guide the student, trainee and qualified surgeon through the core surgical topics that will be encountered within an integrated undergraduate curriculum, in the early years of surgical training and in subsequent clinical practice.
