Reviews of the previous edition

"‘This book is ideal for finals as diagrams help the revision numbed mind to retain information. It is extremely quick and easy to read and the list–based information is an ideal basis for short–answer questions." Barts and the London Chronicle

"Delightful book… the quality of the diagrams is such that for the majority of topics the text is almost superfluous." British Journal of Surgery

Customer Reviews

Easy reading revision text with fabulous annotated diagrams
"Surgery at a glance" successfully achieves it's goal of providing simple, yet complete, information on the most important topics in general surgery. The accompanying illustrations act to clarify the text and provide the reader with a visual stimulus to memorise the topic for exam purposes.

The book is efficiently laid out, with each double page spread covering one topic area. The topics are divided into clinical complaints and surgical diseases, making it quick and practical, and useful in both hospital and revision settings.

I highly recommend this book for those medical students approaching finals; it provides one with the essentials for planning a top class essay, and a logical approach to presenting complaints as might be found in the clinical examination.

What you want in a surgery text.
Just what I needed coming up to those last few nail-biting weeks before clinical finals. Succint, clear and extremely readable and what's more important tells you all you NEED to know. I passed!!!
