 Current Surgical
Therapy by John L. Cameron: "The eighth edition of
Current Surgical Therapy features 280 all-new
chapters, each written by an expert surgeon who offers
proven, practical approaches to the surgical management of a
given disease. Contributors have been chosen not only for
their prominence in the field, but also because they are
actively involved in patient care. Each chapter covers a
condition that is seen with some frequency in thegeneral
surgeon's practice. For faster reference, chapters follow a
consistent format: patient selection, timing of therapy,
preoperative care, operative technique, postoperative
management, adjuvant therapy, prevention and management of
complications, and follow-up. Diagnosis and pathophysiology
are discussed only to the extent that they affect treatment
choices."
Current
Surgical Therapy is a very clinically oriented textbook. Much
less pathophysiology is included. All general surgery residents
should read this book in its entirety before taking the boards.
It is less useful for the yearly ABSITE exam which emphasizes
basic science more.
 Principles Of
Surgery by Schwartz, Seymour I.
1998 Edition (Joint Author:Galloway,
Aubrey C.,Joint Author:Daly, John M.) My pediatric
surgery fellow recommended this text over the Sabiston text for medical
students because it is more cut and dry getting right to the
issues currently considered most crucial in the management
of a surgical patient. Sabiston provides more of
a historical perspective that will add an additional level
of knowledge but might not be what you need at 3 AM the
night before a big operation that you are going to get
pimped on.
 Textbook Of Surgery; The Biological Basis Of
Modern Surgical Practice (2001 edition) by
Sabiston see comments about the Schwartz
text right above. This text is known for being very
opinionated. Many of the practices put forth are specific to
the authors.
 Surgery : Scientific
Principles and Practice by Lazar J. Greenfield
(Editor), Michael W. Mulholland (Editor), keit Oldham
"Dr. Greenfield's revised edition is
immensely better than the already fabulous first edition.
This is THE book for surgery residents or anyone who wants
an encyclopedic reference to the field of general surgery,
including the surgical sub-specialties. Each chapter is
comprehensive, well written and as concise as possible. The
figures are well-done and informative, yet not distracting
to the reader. Each discussion includes basic science
principles, biology of the different diseases, as well as
pathophysiology and an overview of treatment options.
Especially well done are the chapters on breast disease,
Trauma, and perdiatric surgery"
 Mastery of Surgery
(2 vols.) by Robert J. Baker (Editor), Josef E. Fischer
(Editor)"Insights into critical decision-making in a
comprehensive range of surgical settings makes this
two-volume set the reference of choice. Key points in each
procedure are demonstrated by a series of lucid
illustrations. The authors offer their own recommendations
and guide the reader to important literature via annotated
Suggested Readings. No comparable text on the market offers
this combination of authoritative commentary and
comprehensive coverage."
Mastery of Surgery (2 vols.) Is a key text
for senior surgery residents. I did not appreciate it until my
third year of residency when I started doing more advanced
operations.
 Current Surgical Diagnosis and
Treatment by by Lawrence W. Way (Editor), Gerard M.
Doherty (Editor)2002 Edition.
Atlases
 Atlas Of General
Surgery by Carter, D. C. (Editor:Russell, R.

 Operative Strategy In
General Surgery; An Expositive Atlas by Chassin,
Jameson L./Chassin, J. L.
 Atlas Of Surgical Operations by Zollinger,
Robert M., Jr./ Zollinger, Robert M. 2002 edition.
Significant changes have occurred in general surgery since
the 7th edition. Surveying these changes, the authors have
added new chapters and new plates to their otherwise
enduring classic, which begins with chapters on surgical
technique, anesthesia, preoperative preparation and
postoperative care, and ambulatory surgery, followed by
atlas sections on surgical anatomy, gastrointestinal
procedures, miscellaneous abdominal procedures, vascular
procedures, gynecologic procedures, and miscellaneous
procedures."

I used this book everyday during my
rotation. This book has also been recommended by visitors to
this site. "Highly recommended." It fits conveniently into
your coat pocket.
 The Surgical
Intern Pocket Survival Guide by Ronald Chamberlain,
MD. This is another one of those pocket
guides that most of the surgical students and residents
carried around with them. At first it was hard to find
things in it but then once you become familiar with its
format it becomes extremely useful. It lists al the
components of Pre-Op and Post-Op notes.[ORDER NOW]

Surgery
by Koutlas
Abernathy's SURGICAL SECRETS, 3rd edition
:This book is great for quickly
brushing up before an operation to get an idea of the types
of questions you might be pimped on, but often it is
difficult to find answers in it to specific questions or on
specific topics.[ORDER NOW]
Surgery;
Pretest: Self-Assessment And Review by Mcgraw Hill
Publishing Company
 Rush University Review of Surgery by Daniel
J. Deziel (Editor) This book uses a question and answer
format to review the important surgical concepts covered by
the surgical inservice, the surgical portion of the USMEs,
and the general surgery boards. Each question is immediately
followed by an extended explaination and then the answer.
This saves you from flipping back and forth to the end of
the test.

Surgery by Richard H. Dean (Editor), James S. T. Yao
