Editors:
Covers all the common surgical problems encountered by the resident on call, including abdominal, orthopaedic, pediatric, urology, and trauma problems, as well as problems involving the skin, breast, head, and neck. Essential for all students entering a surgical clerkship as well as for every surgical resident
Small enough to fit in a lab coat pokcket
Provides easy access for residents on-call, and for reference before teaching rounds, lectures, etc.
Presents a concise text paired with a step-by-step algorithm designed to guide the resident through evaluation, diagnosis, treatment (both medical and surgical) and follow-up
This algorithm approach lends itself to rapid learning and understanding of commonly encountered problems
Each disease covered is delineated into comprehensive sections on presentation, physical exam, diagnostic tests and initial evaluation, and indication for surgery
As a capstone to the book, useful appendices cover areas such as guidelines for cancer screening, recommendations for transfusions, drugs, and pain medications (doses, complications, and reversing)

About this book
Reviews
From the reviews of the second edition:
"This book provides readers with an algorithmic approach to diagnosing and managing common surgical diseases … . The intended audience includes residents, students, and young surgeons … . nonsurgical specialists may use the book to guide diagnostic work-up and referral. … it seems best suited for residents and young surgeons to use as a starting point for decision making and understanding of management decisions. … a must-have for new residents managing patients in the perioperative setting." (Eanas S. Yassa, Doody’s Review Service, July, 2008)
