Customer Reviews

Essential past the PGY3 year

This is the surgical guide for more senior residents. Concise and comprehensive, I review it prior to nearly every case.

Great text

I'm not a surgeon, but the one I bought it for said it was the best. So there you go.

absolutely needed for any surgical resident.

This book is absolutely essential for any general surgery resident. What makes it so highly valuable is that it has online access and therefore a resident can spend any downtime before a case reading online and reviewing for the case to be performed. This book, and its online access, will ensure that you don't go into any cases "cold".

An excellent resource

I think this book is an excellent resource for surgery residents. It gives you valuable information on theoretical knowledge on different diseases, preoperative planning, postoperative management and surgical techniques. Expensive but worth the price.

Must have

This book is a "must have" for all surgery resident.
