Review:

From the reviews:

"This ... book covers the full spectrum of topics of interest to general surgeons. ... the book organizes the material in a unique and highly practical format. ... Written for practicing surgeons, the book should be valuable to residents, fellows, and students as well. ... an excellent reference for surgeons preparing to take the boards or preparing for maintenance of certification. ... Surgeons who need a ... detailed book addressing management of surgical problems (including the most complex ones) will find excellent guidance here."
