Clinical Scenarios in Surgery: Decision Making and Operative Technique

Clinical Scenarios in Surgery: Decision Making and Operative Technique presents 125 cases in all areas of general
surgery: GI, breast, hepatobiliary, colorectal, cardiothoracic, endocrine, vascular, trauma, pediatric, critical care,
and transplant. Each full-color case begins with a patient presentation and proceeds through differential diagnosis,
diagnosis and treatment, surgical procedures, postoperative management, and a case conclusion. Each case includes key
technical steps, potential pitfalls, take-home points, and suggested readings.

The patient stories in these clinical scenarios provide context to faciliate learning the principles of safe surgical
care. This book will be particularly useful for senior surgical residents and recent graduates as they prepare for the
American Board of Surgery oral examination.
