Synopsis

This book is a one-volume core revision text covering general surgery and the minor surgical specialties, designed to stimulate the student into assessing his/her own knowledge during self-directed learning and exam preparation. The book assumes the student has had some teaching in surgery and has acquired some basic core knowledge. The book promotes self-directed learning with motivation coming from self-identification of strengths and weaknesses leading to an assessment of needs.

The structure of the book is as follows:

  • division into the main sections: general surgery, urology, cardiothoracic surgery, vascular surgery, plastic surgery and neurosurgery
  • a core text examining the main surgical diseases in a synoptic text
  • a self-assessment section at the end allowing the student to assess the progress in the application of the facts to common clinical problems.
