Now in its eighth edition, this volume in the "Lecture Notes" series is regarded as one of the standard textbooks for all medical undergraduates. The book does not set out to describe operative detail, but draws together in a logical fashion the fundamental principles of general surgery. Since the publication of the last edition (in 1987) there have been a number of major changes in surgical practice. Fully revised and updated, this book has new sections on the management of peptic ulcers and the minimally invasive surgical techniques.

From the Back Cover:
Lecture Notes on General Surgery introduces the student to the principles of common surgical operations and systematically covers all clinical problems where surgical intervention is indicated. In this new eleventh edition, each chapter has been revised and updated to reflect new developments in investigations, treatment, and basic practical procedures for all major surgical conditions. A new chapter on pre-operative patient management has been added to reflect this key component of the junior doctors' role, and new material covers other current issues such as management of MRSA, breast cancer screening and treatment in the NHS and a full update on transplantation.
About the Author:
This popular and classic text will appeal to all medical students and junior doctors on foundation programmes who want a concise introduction to the fundamental aspects of general surgery and will provide the core knowledge for final exams and the MRCS examination.
