Looking for a quick reference for review before performing an operation or taking the boards? You won’t find a better resource thanScott-Conner & Dawson:Essential Operative Techniques and Anatomy, 4eand its accompanying online component. Expanded to 134 chapters and enhanced by new color photos and new contributing authors, this edition is an up-to-date, easy-to-use reference to both the surgical technique and the relevant anatomy of nearly all the procedures you will face.

--Quickly review key facts and procedures before performing an operation or taking the boards, with three book-opening tables: “Steps in Procedure,” “Hallmark Anatomic Complications,” and “List of Structures.”

This is the fourth edition. I've completely updated all of the procedures, added a lot, and coordinated it with the SCORE(TM) curriculum categories. Lots of photos have been added, and many new color drawings. This book is different from all my other textbooks in its emphasis on anatomy. It is a combination of a surgical textbook/atlas and a surgical anatomy book.
