Product Description

Review
"An excellent textbook ... which should be essential reading for medical students with any interest in surgery ... and for any interested surgeons in the early part of their career."Annals of the Royal College of Surgeons of England
writing is clear, confident and there is no wastage of words ... refreshing tendency to use quite short sentences to convey the necessary information ... attractive layout with good summaries of the main points ... a splendid book that will be popular.
"(Source unknown)
to read ... excellent layout makes for easy reading ... first class line diagrams ... no hesitation in recommending it."BMJ
student appeal."Guy's Gazette

Product Description
Essential Surgery is a comprehensive and highly illustrated textbook for clinical students as well as a practical manual for junior doctors and those preparing for postgraduate qualifications in surgery. The unique feature of the book is its problem-orientated nature as distinct to the traditional disease-based structure.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well I've passed all my surgery exams using it, 11 Mar 2001
By Dr. Vikas Pandey "Specialist Registrar in Gen... (London, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I bought this book whilst doing my junior surgery attachment (1995), as a medical student in Liverpool. I found this book so easy to read, I managed to read it cover-to-cover in two days (without getting bored). Now i'm on a surgical rotation in London about to take MRCS paper II and I still rely on it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great for clinical students, 22 Jun 2004
By A Customer
This is a highly popular student text of surgical medicine. Along with the essential grisly photos there is also very well written text including the principles behind diseases and interventions. It gives a wide perspective on each disease beginning with the pathology and epidemiology before zooming in on presentation, investigations and treatment. The main points are highlighted and therefore you absorb useful information as you read it. The anatomy sections are suitably detailed but thankfully concise.
It is orientated towards clinical students and it makes a very good companion to an anatomy textbook for highlighting the most clinically relevant points.
