This well-established text sets out the important facts in general surgery, selected, classified, analysed and rationalised for the medical student. It deals with principles only, and does not cover surgical technique. The need for a new edition has enabled the authors to carry out a detailed revision of the whole text.
a nice book for the surgical diseases & principles . it explains the points in a very good way for understanding . i advice to read this book on the first exposure to general surgery on medical school , but it's not a source for review , it's just for reading the topics to understand & have general ideas .
so it's not suitable for usmle , exams or review of topics you knew .
