Description
"Surgery at a Glance" provides a concise and accessible introduction and revision aid for medical students undertaking their surgical attachment. The easy-to-use at a Glance format presents each topic as a double-page spread. The key facts are accompanied by clear diagrams and photographs encapsulating all that students need to know. "Surgery at a Glance" is the book for surgical finals. This new edition now includes colour to enhance understanding. It focuses on the core principles and the important diseases appropriate to the current curriculum. It is divided into clinical presentations followed by major surgical conditions. This title contains 5 new chapters on: stomas and incisions; anaesthesia; surgical infections; lymphoedema; and, solid organ transplantation. It features a new tinted box for the cancer chapters that provides the 2-week-wait referral criteria. "Surgery at a Glance" will appeal to all clinical medical students, junior doctors on the Foundation Program and surgical nurses. Reviews of last 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".
