Critics' Reviews
"The quality of content is in no doubt… this is likely to be the only general surgical book you will ever need."

-Dr Harry Brown

"Absolutely essential reading for the medical student.

The stimulating graphics and blurbs take us away from dry surgical academia… and what may seem an intimidating tome becomes an ‘old friend’.

This magnificent resource… should definitely be recommended by all surgical educators."

- Mr. Arindam Chaudhuri MS FRCSEd MSc FRCS
