2014 BMA Medical Book Awards Highly Commended in Surgery category!
General Surgical Operations is a highly-praised and comprehensive
textbook of operative surgery. It is a practical manual aimed at
the surgeon who is about to carry out an operation, rather than
just a description of the principles suitable for an examiner.
Kirk's General Surgical Operations continues to be aimed at a broad
readership: the candidate preparing for the Intercollegiate FRCS in
General Surgery or international equivalents; the trained surgeon
faced, through necessity, with undertaking an infrequently
performed procedure; and the many surgeons working in hospitals
throughout the world without access to specialist services. It
remains above all a practical text which will guide the surgeon in
training, or one unfamiliar with a procedure, on how to perform it,
but more importantly on how to manage the uncertainties which so
often arise This is a 'What to do' book. Using it the reader can
aspire to gain diagnostic, decision making and operative surgical
competence with confidence. The book is written in a clear and
direct style and providing explicit instructions using descriptive
headings for easy reference. The contents covers standard routine
operations in full; non-routine and rarely performed operations are
included only where appropriate and in lesser detail The text
includes advice on topics such as patient selection; preparation
and access to the site of operation; how to accomplish the
procedure; closing and aftercare Difficulties are highlighted and
advice given on how to respond to unexpected findings Each
procedure is fully described thus avoiding repetitions and cutting
cross-references to a minimum Regular summaries of key points in
the decision making process are included. This Sixth Edition is now
known as Kirk's General Surgical Operations in recognition of its
distinguished founding editor, Professor RM Kirk, who is now Editor
Emeritus on the textbook. The new editorial team for the Sixth
Edition comprises a colorectal surgeon, a vascular surgeon and an
orthopaedic surgeon The contents have been restructured and
radically revised into 42 chapters, the majority of which have been
completely rewritten. Laparoscopic techniques have been
incorporated into all relevant chapters. All the illustrations have
been redrawn to improve their clarity.
