About this book

Common Surgical Diseases: An Algorithmic Approach to Problem Solving presents commonly encountered problems to medical students and residents in a concise manner using an algorithm approach. Small enough to fit in a lab coat pocket, the book provides easy access for residents before teaching rounds, lectures, etc. The algorithm approach lends itself to rapid learning and understanding of commonly encountered problems. This is a must for all students entering a surgical clerkship as well as for every surgical resident.

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)
