Synopsis

Significant changes in surgical training have occurred over the past decade, with the inevitable progress towards specialization in the various surgical specialties. The current edition of Essential Surgical Practice: Higher Surgical Training in General Surgery reflects these latest developments with a new structure that accurately mirrors current surgical training. This new edition excludes surgical specialties that are distinct from general surgery, allowing an increased focus on topics of direct relevance to trainees in higher surgical training. Over 31 chapters, the book provides detailed information on those specialties of which the general surgeon is required to have a working knowledge, and highlights core information for revision and quick reference. Topics include: * Surgical biology and pathology * Surgical craft approaches and technologies * Perioperative care * Cardiovascular, pulmonary and renal pathophysiology * Surgical infections * Interventional radiology * Trauma and head injuries * Disorders of the thyroid and adrenal glands * Disorders of the stomach, liver, spleen, colon and pancreas * Bariatric surgery This book can be used with confidence by those enrolled in local courses and is also consistent with the scope and level of information required for international postgraduate examinations, such as the Joint Surgical Colleges' Fellowship Examination. To enhance the book's utility, the print edition includes complimentary access to a VitalSource ebook online and offline on your PC or Mac, iPhone(R)/iPod Touch(R)/ iPad(R), Kindle Fire or Android(TM) device.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Essential Surgical Practice: Higher Surgical Training in General Surgery is an indispensable source of reference for the surgical trainee.

This fifth volume is fully updated and caters for the needs of the senior trainee surgeon undertaking higher surgical training in general surgery, providing detailed information on those specialties which the general surgeon is required to have a working knowledge of, with a special emphasis on trauma and vascular surgery.

Significant changes in surgical training have occurred over the past decade and "Essential Surgical Practice" reflects this by dividing the chapters into three distinct parts: general patient care; trauma; general surgical care. The text is structured to be highly patient-oriented in line with current thought and practice, with a firm underpinning of pathophysiology.

Essential Surgical Practice: Higher Surgical Training in General Surgery will be an indispensable source of reference for all surgical trainees and can be used with confidence in association with local studies and distance learning courses. The content is consistent with the scope and level of information required for international postgraduate examinations.

"I have little doubt it will remain a popular reference book, and rightly so. The text is comprehensive yet succinct, and is laid out in a style that permits relatively easy and focused reading." - - British Journal of Surgery (about previous edition)
