".a short but clear overview of all general surgical and urological topics in fifty chapters." Barts, Queen Mary and Westfield College of the 8th edition

"...this book is an excellent overview of the principles of general surgery. Medical students or junior surgery residents can carry this book with them on rounds to a patient′s bedside, and to conferences" Current Surgery (from Boston Office)

Cambridge Medicine, Volume 18 No 1, Autumn 2003
This is one of those books that every medical student should refer to when they begin their surgical attachment.

Bruce E.Jarrell, MD, (University of Maryland School of Medicine
This is a well-assembled book that would be excellent for medical students learning the general principles of surgery

Customer Reviews

Absolutely Essential!!!
A great book. All that one needs to know for finals is contained in this little life-saver. A very easy read, with great diagrams and tables. I highly recommend it to all students who need to get to grip with the essential facts before finals.

fast, efficient review of the main surgical topics.
This excellent book serves as a fast, efficient review of the main surgical topics. Especially helpful for exams when you don' t have much time. Also gives differential diagnosis. If you want to become a surgeon, you will certainly have to go for the bigger textbooks. It will be enough,though, for your finals/USMLE step2.

Essential for any final year student!
I'm studying for finals at the moment and recently bought this book - possibly one of the best purchases in the last 5 years! All the main topics of general surgery are included, along with concise, informative chapters on vascular surgery, physiology, neurosurgery, breast, urology etc. All the information is pitched at an undergraduate or junior doc level so there is no space wasted on the non-essential. Plus a mini-biography of every surgeon ever to put his or her name to something is included, to make you feel extra-intelligent.
Awesome.
