Bailey & Love's Short Practice of Surgery

by R.C.G. Russell, Christopher J.K. Bulstrode, Norman S. Williams

Bailey & Love's Short Practice of Surgery is one of the world's pre-eminent medical textbooks with worldwide sales of over one million copies. To keep the book at the forefront of the market, this new edition introduces several innovations based on findings from market research, while
retaining those essential features that are the hallmark of the "Bailey & Love" style. The text presents a comprehensive coverage of general surgery, with new key information boxes in addition to core material. Extensive 4-color illustration reinforces clinical messages, and the book's famous
aphorisms and biographies of prominent pioneers of surgery are entirely updated for the new edition. The book's readership has always represented a dilemma to classify; in India, Bailey and Love is used by undergraduate medical students, and by postgraduate MS candidates as a revision text; in the
UK it is used by MRCS candidates. A new constituency will be formed by the FRCSInt examination being produced by the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh. All research carried out to date suggests that, as edited by Russell, Williams and Bulstrode, the book will continue to successfully bridge
these readership groups.

A great book for the beginner in surgery. Though called A short practice of surgery, the book is thousands of pages thick. Think the authors are still writing "The long practice of surgery"

اكبر كتاب عندي. يحطم المعنويات :(

Read this during med school during my surgery rotation but its pretty long and if you want to be more quick for your exams then I suggest online or class resources (medbullets, uworld, uptodate, lectures, shorter versions of surgery textbooks).

If you’re sitting for your boards/steps— I suggest stick to uworld, pathoma, osmosis/kaplan videos, usmleRx, and the trusty First Aid for the respective steps!

I read most of GI surgeries from this thoroughly for my OR rotations. I found them much easier to understand and digest. I think this is a great resource at a junior level but only for topics you find tough.

I mean it's a required reading. What can I say except that it was hella big and heavy.

Balys and love

Personally speaking people might think of me as nerd though I m not at all believe me. This book is really addictive once you start it (if you have the courage) you wont be able to use anyother. In other words no other book will satisfy you. I admit when we see it, it appears to be a big book and really heavy as for the people who usually set their mind by weighing a book that is just apparent. It is precise and well described one. If you intend to learn surgery in real means I would definitely recommend it to you.

despite being over 1500 pages, this book is literally sort of review book. Principles of Surgery and trauma handling (ATLS , )are described quite in length . while in the systemic portion most of the chapters are just review. it may seem nerdy but its writing style and narrating stories of surgery in an interesting way make this book a page-turner. The summary boxes after every topic can help wrap up the whole discussion as well as serve as a quick review on exam night .

[P-the book nerd]

A very easy book to read, all the informations are broken down to sections making it both easy and less scary to read :D
I still have some sections left, but I have really benefited from the sections I have read and I will keep reading it for the next two years :)

[Modhar]

[Aziz]

The bible of surgery, they way it is structured is ideal, and writing simple and to the point.
Reading this book is an enjoyable experience .

[Omar]
