Synopsis

From the acute abdomen to the Whipple: general surgery, explained and organized for the way you decide and operate.

General Surgery 2027 explains the disease biology, anatomy and evidence behind every surgical decision and connects them to what happens before, during and after the operation. In 42 chapters across 9 parts, it covers perioperative and critical care, trauma and emergency surgery, the entire gastrointestinal tract, hepatopancreatobiliary, breast, endocrine, vascular, thoracic and pediatric surgery. Every chapter closes with five board-style questions and full explanations, making it both a working textbook and a structured review for the ABSITE and the ABS Qualifying Examination.
