Principles and Practice of Surgery

Principles and Practice of Surgery, Seventh Edition is the surgical companion textbook to the international medical bestseller Davidson’s Principles and Practice of Medicine. It is a comprehensive textbook for both the surgical student and trainee, guiding the reader through key core surgical topics which are encountered throughout an integrated medical curriculum as well as in subsequent clinical practice. Although sharing the same format and style as Davidson’s Principles and Practice of Medicine, this text is complete in itself, thus enabling the student to appreciate both the medical and surgical implications of diseases encountered in surgical wards.

• A three-section textbook of surgical principles and regional clinical surgery
• The textbook presents a comprehensive account of international surgical practice, taking into account variations in the disease patterns and management approaches throughout the world
• Superbly presented with line drawings, high-quality radiographic images and colour photographs
• Presented in similar form to its sister textbook Davidson’s Principles and Practice of Medicine
• Full online and ebook version available as part of Student Consult

"Although a book for medical students, it is likely that medical students who use this during their clerkship will find it of continuing use during residency and beyond...This is a nice compact textbook that, while designed for the U.K. and an international readership, will be of value to any students in the U.S. who consult it."
