Synopsis

General surgery trainees face a persistent problem: the references available to them are either too large to read or too shallow to trust. Encyclopedic textbooks run past two thousand pages and serve better as shelf references than as learning tools. Clerkship reviews condense surgical reasoning into bullet points designed for exam performance, not clinical practice. Neither format teaches the trainee how to evaluate a patient for surgery, why one operation is chosen over another, and what to do when the expected postoperative course goes sideways.

General Surgery Diagnosis and Treatment Essentials: A Clinical Guide to Preoperative Assessment, Operative Decisions, and Postoperative Care was built to fill that gap. Structured around the perioperative continuum, this focused 2026 clinical guide follows the patient from the initial surgical consultation through preoperative optimization, intraoperative decision-making, and postoperative complication management. Every chapter integrates the reasoning behind the plan, not just the plan itself.

Written for surgical residents, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and senior medical students working in surgical settings, this text delivers the depth of a comprehensive reference within a format you can read cover to cover during a rotation.

• Preoperative risk assessment including cardiovascular, pulmonary, hepatic, renal, and frailty evaluation with current scoring systems
• Operative decision-making rationale for each major condition, including indications, contraindications, timing, and patient-specific modifications
• Postoperative care and complication management covering fever workup, anastomotic leak, VTE, respiratory failure, delirium, and ERAS protocols
• Full coverage of gastrointestinal, hepatobiliary, pancreatic, colorectal, endocrine, breast, trauma, vascular, and soft tissue surgery
• More than 100 clinical procedure and teaching videos accessible through integrated QR codes placed at the point of learning
• Clinical images and illustrations throughout the text to reinforce anatomic and pathologic concepts
• Minimally invasive and robotic surgery principles including energy devices, platform selection, and fluorescence-guided techniques
• Quick-reference appendices for antimicrobial prophylaxis, drug dosing, tumor staging, ERAS checklists, and perioperative anticoagulation

Whether you are preparing for your first day on a surgical service or managing postoperative patients independently, this guide gives you the clinical reasoning and practical tools to make sound surgical decisions at the bedside, in the OR, and on rounds.
