About this title

Review

"The new two-part organization of this fourth edition reflects changes in surgical training in the UK that have occurred as a result of the recommendations published in the Calman report. Volume one caters to the needs of the junior trainee undertaking basic training in the "generality of surgery." Its 23 topic-related and patient oriented modules begin with surgical biology and pathological examination, surgical craft and technology, and risk assessment, then cover the management of patients with various surgical disorders (e.g., the injured patient, patients with metabolic disorders, malnourished patients, and the patient with cancer). The final chapter discusses assessment and professional development and includes a section on Internet resources." -- SciTech Books, Sept 2000 "The new two-part organization of this fourth edition reflects changes in surgical training in the UK that have occurred as a result of the recommendations published in the Calman report.

Synopsis

The changes in surgical training have meant that previously published textbooks may not be appropriate for the new MRCS/AFRCS examination. This manual has changed considerably in this edition, which is expressly targeted at the MRCS/AFRCS candidate. Using a modular style presentation and moving to a patient-centred approach, the book seeks to provide all the information necessary for the candidate studying for the "generality of surgery" part of the MRCS/AFRCS.
