Clinical Surgery: With Student Consult Access 3/e

With Student Consult Access


First Prize (Surgery category), BMA Awards 2005. A comprehensive and attractively presented 4-colour textbook of
surgery aimed primarily at medical students but also of use to junior doctors and surgical technicians. The book has
two key features: firstly, it provides students with coverage of every aspect of surgery; secondly, it has been
designed and written to be the 'surgical companion' to Kumar & Clark's Clinical Medicine. This new edition will also
offer an online version to all purchasers of the book - the first surgical textbook in the UK to make an electronic
version available.

A comprehensive account of surgery - students only need to buy one text

Covers general issues - wound healing, pain control, etc - in the first section - by grouping these issues into one
section at the beginning, students are immediately given an overview of what makes surgery 'different'

A regional approach is adopted for the largest section - section 2 - this is the classic way in which surgeons talk
about surgery to each other

The third section covers surgical specialities - paediatrics, endocrinology, urology - and also includes specialities
such as ophthalmology, ENT and orthopaedics - these are thechapters that are often omitted from competing books , in
the interests of saving space

The logical arrangement of the three sections makes the book easy to use and refer to in clinical practice

The arrangement of contents is straightforward and conventional - a 'plus' in comparison to other texts which can be
somewhat idiosyncratic in their approach

Information and practical boxes are used throughout to enhance the text and highlight and isolate important information

Includes approximately 240 four-colour line drawings - these drawings are original to the have been greatly praised by
students

Also includes over 100 black and white and approximately 50 full-colour clinical photographs, x-rays and scans

Designed to complement Kumar and Clark's highly successful Clinical Medicine textbook - students like having
two 'matching' texts in these complementary areas

Written by an expert team of contributors from all the major London teaching hospitals and many other major centres in
the UK - the contributor team lends authority to the text

Now comes with access to online version to all purchasers of the book - the first UK surgical textbook to make this
facility available to readers
