ACS Surgery : Principles and Practice 2005

Uniquely organized by presenting complaint, ACS Surgery responds to the way a practicing surgeon sees patients and solves problems. More than 100 algorithms diagram the diagnostic and therapeutic pathways for virtually every condition of interest to general surgeons. Over 1,200 full-color diagrams, photos, and illustrations clarify complex processes and procedures. Print subscribers receive a free 3-month trial to ACS Surgery Online and are then eligible for preferred pricing for online subscriptions beyond the 3-month trial. The 2005 volume contains 40% new and revised material including completely new chapters on head and neck problems and procedures, as well as a greatly expanded alimentary tract section with, for example, coverage of Crohn disease and the operative management of rectal cancer.
