About this title

Review:

"Over the decades, this has become the go-to book for surgeons in training and those reviewing for the boards, as well as those in practice. This latest edition remains true to the purpose envisioned by the writers of the first edition. It is on a three-year revision cycle, and this rapid editorial revision is totally appropriate for the material. The primary value of the electronic resource is ready access to a heavy, thick book. Some videos are available and will undoubtedly be supplemented as the electronic resource develops."
