Synopsis

Mastery of operative surgery, with updated techniques and expert guidance for every major region of the body.

This comprehensive reference presents Kocher’s signature approach to surgical practice, refreshed with fresh material and reorganized sections that emphasize modern methods and clear decision-making.

The book covers the nervous system in depth, including brain and cranial nerves, tumors, and peripheral nerve work, and it advances the surgery of the extremities with revised descriptions of arthrotomies, resections, amputations, and related procedures. It also streamlines guidance on procedures for the head and trunk, with substantial updates to thoracic surgery, liver and bile ducts, intestines, kidneys, and ureters. The editors acknowledge the translation effort and note the work’s value to senior students, practitioners, and teachers in the field of surgery.
