 - a must book for all surgeons ya! it is expensive .. yet itu is a must book for all surgeons who would keep their surgical knowledge .. Rating: - Must have for the oral boardThis is a fundamental in a surgical education. Some changes since the last edition about 10%. It extremely well written. Rating:  - Excellent bookThis nook is an excellent review of the current surgical therapy. It provides quick and current references for both practising surgeons and trainees Rating: - A good review, but overall a disappointmentA must-read to prepare for oral exams, or to quickly review concepts of patient management. The new edition has some significant updates in laparoscopy and trauma care, but has lapsed somewhat in quality. Doesn't replace a good surgical reference like Schwartz, Sabiston, or Greenfield. I'm disappointed by many errors in this edition. Some chapters have some small errors missed by the editing team. Some chapters are also based on the opinions of individual authors, and may not necessarily reflect the current standard of care. It would have been nice to see some more evidence-based material added. For example, the chapter on laparoscopic CBDE may be applicable to large academic centres, but I don't think it reflects most surgical centres in the world. I would have liked to see a bit more on open CBDE. The many illustrations are mostly illegible. This is unacceptable for a reference-level publication. It reflects poorly on the credibility of the publisher and makes me question the rest of the book. Overall a disappointment. A previous edition supplemented with a quick internet search might offer better information. Rating: - Strong, current review of general surgeryThis is THE book for a senior surgical resident to purchase. It is updated every 3 years, and reflects advances in techniques, preoperative and postoperative evaluation, and clinical management decision making for all of the commonly encountered problems in general surgery. The authors do not merely rehash the previous edition, but present the information in a clear, concise, and enjoyable text with good tables and images. It has been very helpful to me in my Chief year, and I expect it to help me pass my boards. A MUST HAVE!!! |
