-
The pathophysiological basis of surgical diseases is discussed in relation to their management, acting as a bridge between basic medical sciences and clinical problems.

-
The book’s extensive use of original illustrations, boxes and tables emphasises important concepts and will aid revision.

The principles of operative surgery and perioperative care are explained together with outlines of common operations, enabling students and trainee surgeons to properly understand procedures and to participate intelligently in the operating department.
-
A major revision of the text has taken full account of the progressive evolution of surgery and includes new concepts that have advanced medical understanding.
-
New topics have been added to ensure the book’s contents match the curriculum of the UK Intercollegiate MRCS examination, including patient safety, surgical ethics, communication, consent, clinical audit and principles of research.

The broad experience of surgical teaching and training of two new authors has brought a fresh perspective on the book’s contents and its presentation.

New consensus guidelines for managing common disorders have been incorporated where appropriate.
