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.

presented with line drawings, high quality radiographic images and
