Pathways in Surgery
The third edition of this problem-based general surgery book remains dedicated to the algorithmic or "pathways" approach used in previous editions. The algorithms take the reader step-by-step through the possible clinical cases a trainee surgeon is called upon to manage.
This new edition incorporates all the surgical specialties and is contributed by a team of distinguished authors. Written for undergraduate medical students on surgical attachments and surgical trainees preparing for MRCS, the authors aim to teach clinical skills by giving trainees a logical approach to clinical problems.
Key Features:
* Problem-orientated approach
* Covers all the surgical specialties
* Core knowledge emphasised throughout
Readership:
Undergraduate medical students on general surgery rotations; surgical trainees studying for MRCS.
