Overview

This text aims to cater for the needs of the FRCS exit exam candidate in general surgery. The book covers all aspects of those subjects where the general surgeon needs detailed knowledge in order to carry out the wide remit of the speciality, for example: breast, endocrine, liver, biliary tract, pancreas, lymph nodes, oesophagus, stomach, small intestine, colon and rectum, skin and soft tissue, abdominal wall, hernias and vascular surgery. In addition, those areas where a good working knowledge is required are covered in less, but adequate, detail (neurosurgery, head and neck, thoracic surgery, plastic and reconstructive surgery, urology and transplantation).

Reviews

I have little doubt it will remain a popular reference book, and rightly so. -- British Journal of Surgery The text is comprehensive yet succinct, and is laid out in a style that permits relatively easy and focused reading. I certainly feel that this is the type of general surgical text that would be suitable for the higher trainee approaching the Intercollegiate Examination. -- British Journal of Surgery 20030320
