Significant changes in surgical training have occurred over the past decade, with the inevitable progress towards specialization in the various surgical specialties. The current edition ofEssential Surgical Practice: Higher Surgical Training in General Surgery reflects these latest developments with a new structure that accurately mirrors current surgical training. This new edition excludes surgical specialties that are distinct from general surgery, allowing an increased focus on topics of direct relevance to trainees in higher surgical training.

Surgical biology and pathology
Surgical craft approaches and technologies
Perioperative care
Cardiovascular, pulmonary and renal pathophysiology
Surgical infections
Interventional radiology
Trauma and head injuries
Disorders of the thyroid and adrenal glands
Disorders of the stomach, liver, spleen, colon and pancreas
Bariatric surgery

This book can be used with confidence by those enrolled in local courses and is also consistent with the scope and level of information required for international postgraduate examinations, such as the Joint Surgical Colleges Fellowship Examination. To enhance the books utility, the print edition includes complimentary access to a VitalSource ebook online and offline on your PC or Mac, iPhone�/iPod Touch�/ iPad�, Kindle Fire or Android device.
