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."
