Modern Surgical Care: Physiologic Foundations and Clinical Applications

by Thomas A. Miller (Editor)

Completely updated with contributions by world leaders in surgery and the surgery specialties, this reference assists surgeons in the diagnosis and treatment of patients by considering disease as a derangement of normal physiology, thus allowing the surgeon to correlate the appropriate use of laboratory and radiologic modalities. Arranged according to specific organ systems, the book is easily accessible and reflects the impact that scientific discoveries and technical advances have had on our understanding of the physiologic processes in surgical patients.
