About the Book

Surgery at a Glance has set a new standard for review texts in surgery. Following on from the success of the first edition, the authors have produced a revised and updated new edition, which continues to provide medical students with an indispensable introduction and guide to undergraduate surgery. If you are about to begin your surgical attachment or are revising for surgical exams, this book is just what you need! Surgery at a Glance follows the familiar, double page format of the at a Glance series. It covers the essential facts for the diagnosis and treatment of common presenting symptoms and surgical conditions. The core information is presented in a clear, easy-to-understand way. Each section provides the key facts, together with informative line diagrams illustrating the essential points. The following new chapters are included in this second edition: breast pain, dyspepsia, chronic abdominal pain, diarrhoea, systemic inflammatory response syndrome, basic principles of major trauma, and malabsorption. Part 1: Clinical Presentations at a Glance focuses on the signs and symptoms of common surgical presentations. Topics cover the differential diagnoses of common complaints, together with simple approaches to making a diagnosis. Part 2: Surgical Diseases at a Glance covers the major surgical conditions in a logical way, providing the reader with the basic facts necessary for an understanding of each topic. This extremely popular book provides medical students with a solid basis for the understanding of surgical disease. It is especially useful as an aide-memoire for examinations and for work in the clinic and on the ward.

Review :
"Rating * * * * *. Excellent! Great value for money." Cambridge Medicine, Addenbrooke's Clinical Medical School "This book should appeal to those who like to access information with the least effort...good for cementing and organising your knowledge...does effectively what its forebears do for undergraduate subjects: simplify, illustrate and explain in a user-friendly format" 2nd Opinion, The Magazine of the Scottish Medical Schools "This book is ideal for finals as diagrams help the revision-numbed mind to retain information. It is extremely quick and easy to read and the list-based information is an ideal basis for short-answer questions." Barts and the London Chronicle "This delightful book is the latest in the At a Glance series and only the second on a purely clinical subject...The quality of the diagrams is such that for the majority of the topics the text is almost superfluous." British Journal of Surgery "...offers clinical students a valuable resource and revision aid for general surgery and other surgical areas that are likely to be seen in finals. Each of the 76 chapters consist of definitions, common causes, clinical features, investigations, and management; a useful strategy that can be applied to most clinical problems." Student BMJ
