Surgery at a Glance 3e

Surgery at a Glance" provides a concise and accessible introduction
and revision aid for medical students undertaking their surgical
attachment. Following the familiar, easy-to-use 'at a Glance' format,
each topic is presented as a double-page spread with key facts
accompanied by clear diagrams and photographs encapsulating all that
the students need to know. This new edition of "Surgery at a Glance":
Is THE book for surgical finals. It focuses on the core principles
and the important diseases appropriate to the current curriculum, and
is divided into clinical presentations followed by major surgical
conditions. It contains 5 new chapters on: stomas and incisions;
anaesthesia; surgical infections; lymphoedema; and solid organ
transplantation. 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.
