Reviews

"...provide a concise, didactic description of features of common surgical disorders in order to improve examinations in hospitals and clinics.... This is a book for students and for postgraduates studying for their MRCS examination,... [ It] is abundantly well-suited for its intended audience.... divided into 23 chapters, following a logical progression from "Introduction to Surgery" and several chapters about general topics into specific areas such as Breast, Endocrine Surgery, and several of the surgical subspecialties such as Orthopedics,... [ a] great assistance to its primary audience." ©Doody's Book Review Service, 2025, Carol Scott-Conner, MD, PhD, MBA, MFA (University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics) Doody's Score: 90, 4 Stars!
