Synopsis

This volume in the "Lecture Notes" series is regarded as one of the standard textbooks for all medical undergraduates. The book does not set out to describe operative detail, but draws together in a logical fashion the fundamental principles of general surgery. Since the publication of the last edition (in 1987) there have been a number of major changes in surgical practice. Fully revised and updated, this book has new sections on the management of peptic ulcers and the minimally invasive surgical techniques.

About this title

Review

Published Reviews of the 8th edition

".a short but clear overview of all general surgical and urological topics in fifty chapters."
Barts, Queen Mary and Westfield College

"[The book] covers the fundamentals of general surgery, but also encompasses thoracic surgery, neurosurgery, urology and transplantation. Chapters are set out in a logical manner and frequently include notes on embryological development when appropriate. A strength of this volume is that information is provided by a mixture of lists and text; the book frequently uses the surgical "sieve aproach" which students find helpful for revision purposes."
British Journal of Surgery

"The key to its sucess is the objective of its authors– to set out briefly the important facts and fundamentals in a logical manner.

.This edition has succeeded in achieving these aims without the need for a signficant increase in number of pages or the introduction of colour, and is complemented with some excellent and simple line diagrams.

.I am sure this 10th edition will emain popular with its targeted audience– medical students– and will provide them a very handy revision text."

From the Back Cover

Lecture Notes on General Surgery introduces the student to the principles of common surgical operations and systematically covers all clinical problems where surgical intervention is indicated. In this new tenth edition, each chapter has been revised and updated to reflect new developments in investigations, treatment, and basic practical procedures for all major surgical conditions. A new chapter on pre–operative patient management and surgical strategy has also been added to reflect this key component of the junior doctors′ role.
