Synopsis

Essential Surgery is well-established as one of the leading textbooks of surgery for medical students, core surgical trainees and in professions allied to medicine. Covering general surgery, trauma, orthopaedics, vascular surgery, paediatric surgery, cardiothoracic surgery and urology, it incorporates appropriate levels of basic science throughout. The book is ideal for contemporary clinical courses as well as being a practical manual for readers at more advanced levels. Its main aim is to stimulate the reader to a greater enjoyment and understanding of the practice of surgery.

• The uniformity of the writing style and the clarity of elucidation will encourage sustained reading, while the emphasis on the principles of surgery will enable a real understanding of the subject matter.
• The book incorporates a problem-solving approach wherever possible, emphasising how diagnoses are made and why particular treatments are used.
• The pathophysiological basis of surgical diseases is discussed in relation to their management, acting as a bridge between basic medical sciences and clinical problems.
• The book’s extensive use of original illustrations, boxes and tables emphasises important concepts and will aid revision.
• The principles of operative surgery and perioperative care are explained together with outlines of common operations, enabling both students and trainee surgeons to properly understand procedures and to participate intelligently in the operating department.

• A major revision of the text has taken full account of the progressive evolution of surgery and includes new concepts that have advanced medical understanding.
• Key topics have been updated to ensure the book’s contents match the curriculum of the UK Intercollegiate MRCS examination.
• The broad experience of surgical teaching and training of a team of new authors has brought a fresh perspective on the book’s contents and its presentation.
• New consensus guidelines for managing common disorders have been revised where appropriate.
