About the Book

This second edition has new chapters and expanded discussion of topics such as statistics and on-line literature searchers. The first edition was highly acclaimed; it gives basic principles that are applicable to all clinical studies in the operative specialties. The text is easy-to-read English, each chapter is well-outlined with subheadings, and many examples make the practical advise easy to understand.
