Highly recommended By Benedict Rogers (final year medical student, Leicester University), 11 January 2010

The Textbook of Surgery is aimed at both medical students and surgical trainees. The book aims to provide an understanding of surgical principles, specific surgical conditions and some basic surgical procedures, whilst also addressing the impact of scientific and technological advances on surgical practice. As with other surgical texts, the opening chapters address “ward-based” surgical care, covering basic anaesthetics, nutrition and post-operative care. The chapters that follow mostly cover the general surgery speciality; however, unlike some other surgical texts, attention is also given to important subjects from ENT, orthopaedics, neurosurgery and cardiothoracics. The structure divides topics by surgical speciality, subdividing each chapter by pathology, which makes it easy to navigate. Each condition is broadly described in terms of aetiology, clinical features, investigation and management, but without leaving the reader feeling bogged down in excessive detail. When comparing this book to Lecture Notes on Surgery, the main difference is that The Textbook of Surgery goes into far more detail about surgical management, providing both descriptions and pictures (pictures are used widely throughout) of the relevant surgical procedures and techniques, making it probably more appealing to a surgically-orientated student left feeling unfulfilled by Lecture Notes. In conclusion, The Textbook of Surgery provides a comprehensive description of the surgical specialities that is both well written and well illustrated. The additional surgical detail gives it something extra and I would highly recommend it.
