This book does not attempt to rival major surgical textbooks, but draws together a collection of basic information in a convenient format.

...this book is an excellent text and I would recommend it to any surgical trainee." President of GKT Surgical Society, The Journal of Surgery, October 2003
textbook outshines others in its class...highly recommend to any trainee or student wishing to understand the principles and practice of surgery and furthermore it is certainly is a prerequisite for anyone determined to pursue a career in surgery." Surgery Student, The Journal of Surgery, November 2003
must have for anyone wanting a career in surgery."MAD Magazine - Barts and The London Students' Association, November 2003
a textbook worth taking a closer look at.
Unlike other surgical texts, this one manages not only to cover basic sciences and principles, but also topics such as surgical access and instrumentation, which is essential for the budding surgeon.
I highly recommend this book, to not only the trainee surgeons it is intended for but any medical student wishing to understand the principles and practice of surgery before facing their surgical rotations and clinical exams." Nikita Kanani, GKT Gazette, December 2003
