Essential Surgery is well-established as one of the leading
textbooks of surgery for medical students, core surgical trainees
and those in professions allied to medicine. Covering general
surgery, trauma, orthopaedics, vascular surgery, urology,
paediatric surgery, cardiothoracic surgery, neurosurgery,
maxillofacial surgery and ENT, it also incorporates appropriate
levels of basic science throughout. The book is ideal to accompany
clinical courses, as well as being a practical manual for readers
at more advanced levels requiring a revision aid for exams. Its
main aim is to stimulate the reader to a greater enjoyment and
understanding of the practice of surgery. The uniformity of the
writing style and the clarity of elucidation will encourage
continued reading, while the emphasis on the principles of surgery
will enable a real understanding of the subject matter. The book
incorporates a problem-solving approach wherever possible,
emphasising how diagnoses are made and why particular treatments
are used. The pathophysiological basis of surgical diseases is
discussed in relation to their management, acting as a bridge
between basic medical sciences and clinical problems. The book's
extensive use of original illustrations, colour photographs,
radiology images, boxes and tables emphasises important concepts
and will promote easy revision of topics. The principles of
operative surgery and pre-, peri- and postoperative care are
explained together with outlines of common operations, enabling
students and trainee surgeons to properly understand procedures and
to participate intelligently in the operating department. A major
and comprehensive revision of the text has taken full account of
the progressive evolution of surgery and includes new scientific
and clinical concepts that have advanced medical understanding.
Ensuring the book's contents are aligned to the curriculum of the
UK Intercollegiate MRCS examination has resulted in the addition of
new topics including an emphasis on peri-operative care
optimisation, enhanced recovery programmes, antibiotic use and
resistance, updated cancer staging, minimally invasive surgery, and
the evolving role of interventional radiology. Additional essential
governance and management topics are covered, including patient
safety, surgical ethics, communication, consent, clinical audit and
principles of research. The broad experience of surgical teaching
and training of two new editors and many new contributors, all with
sub-specialist expertise, have brought a contemporary perspective
on the book's contents and its presentation. New national and
international guidelines for managing common disorders have been
incorporated where appropriate, including major haemorrhage
management pathways and trauma. There are new dedicated chapters on
major trauma management and elective orthopaedics.
