Clinical Surgery 3rd edition

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.

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

Covers general issues such as wound healing and pain control 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 reflects the 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 often omitted from competing books to save 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 easily understood

Text boxes are used throughout to highlight and isolate important information

Includes over 350 four-colour images and line drawings original to this book and 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 so that students can have ‘matching’ texts in these complementary areas
