I read this book as a preparation for the final surgery MCQ exam. It happened that my professor repeated only 3 Questions from this book. I immediately answered as 2 of the as presented here with its interpretation, but it became clear from my professor’s point of view that it is not correct.
eg:


Prof said ERCP NOT U/S ...... WTF Schwartz!!

The most common benign solid lesions of the liver is Hemangiomas not cysts

He said TRAUMA NOT PARASITIC INFECTION and i was lucky not to follow Schwartz here!
Primary splenic epithelial cyst is a rare condition with an incidence rate of 0.07% as reported in a review of 42327 autopsies[13-16]. Primary splenic cysts are seen mostly in children, adolescents and young adults[13]. Congenital type is common in girls[17,18]. Non-parasitic splenic cysts are common in Europe and North America, while parasitic cysts are common in Africa and Central America[19]. The prevalence rate of splenic cysts has been increased nowadays due to increased use of non-invasive diagnostic modalities, i.e., ultrasonography (USG) and computed tomography (CT)[20]. https://www.wjgnet.com/1007-9327/full...

Decent review

Some questions are poorly written and too many with "all of the above" answers. Overall, it is a worthwhile source for general surgery recertification.
