Greenfield's Surgery: Scientific Principles & Practice (4 volume set)

By Ronald V. Maier, Diane M. Simeone, Gilbert R. Upchurch Jr., et al.

Book Overview

The Fifth Edition of Greenfield's Surgery has been thoroughly revised, updated, and refocused to conform to changes in surgical education and practice. Reflecting the increasingly clinical emphasis of residency programs, this edition features expanded coverage of clinical material and increased use of clinical algorithms. Key Points, open each chapter, and icons in the text indicate where Key Points are fully discussed. Many of the black-and-white images from the previous edition have been replaced by full-color images. This edition has new chapters on quality assessment, surgical education, and surgical processes in the hospital. Coverage of surgical subspecialty areas is more sharply focused on topics that are encountered by general surgeons and included in the current general surgery curriculum and ABSITE exam. The vascular section has been further consolidated. A new editor, Diane Simeone, MD, PhD, has joined the editorial team. The companion website presents the fully searchable text, a question-and-answer module, an image bank, and articles from Annals of Surgery, and now includes quarterly updates on the surgical literature.
