This comprehensive textbook is the surgical companion to the international bestseller, Davidson’s Principles and Practice of Medicine. It provides an overview of core surgical topics encountered in an integrated medical curriculum and, later, in the clinical setting. The book takes a succinct and practical approach to the understanding of surgical disease and care of the surgical patient. It offers comprehensive coverage of the key surgical specialties and includes emerging issues around patient safety and the critical importance of clinical human factors in surgical practice. Fully updated to reflect changes in understanding and evidence-based practice, this is a text that keeps the student up to date and that no trainee surgeon should be without.

I read more than one third of the book, in general it was good I'd give it 3.5/5 points based on what I've read. I like the first part the most, then when I start reading the abdoman/ vascular/ transplantation parts some were ok some needed more information I think.
I think it's generally a good choice for medical students who like to read and understand not only memorize, but they don't want to read too much at the same time.
I like the fact that they mention webpages links when talking about guidlines and other things.
