Essential General Surgical Operations Second Edition Paperback – 13 Aug. 2007

Came in good condition, though surprisingly it was an old library copy which I think should be mentioned in the listing.

If you want to get through the operative surgery viva you need to read this book. In my viva I got asked "how would you do an adrenalectomy?". I was horrified but, afterwards, I looked in here - and sure enough, it is covered. An essential text for MRCS. Also very helpful (if you can get hold of it) is the McMinn Atlas of APPLIED Anatomy - the one with all the descriptions of surgical incisions. I had to order mine from Amazon marketplace - but it was worth it. I passed.

good for general surgical training; just scartches the surface of basic surgical procedures, good enough for core surgical years
