内容简介

The third edition of this highly-praised pocketbook provides a concise and didactic account of the essential features of the more common surgical disorders, at both a size and price to suit the pocket. The book covers basic principles, as well as providing essential information on aetiology, diagnosis and management, including pre-operative and postoperative care. The text covers the field of general surgery but aims also to cover the basic needs of the undergraduate as far as the surgical specialities are concerned. The book is intended to fit easily in the white coat pocket and to be used on the wards. It gives students some idea of history-taking, what physical signs to elicit, the differential diagnosis, what investigations to order and how to treat the patient.

Attractively presented in two colours. Covers all the major surgical specialities such as orthopaedics, urology, neurosurgery, etc. The comprehensive text outlines the basic principles together with key information on aetiology, diagnosis and management, as well as pre-and post-operative care. Practical treatment descriptions are clearly highlighted. Important points outlined. Checklist of emergency situations for quick reference.

Comprehensively updated throughout. A new second author, Mr Mike Delbridge, joins Mr Raftery.
