Reviews

"The book is targeted predominantly at medical students ... . Senior residents, fellows, and attendings also can use this book to gather teaching ideas to use during rounds. ... This is a must‐read for those entering the specialty of surgery. It is an excellent, up‐to‐date book for medical students and junior residents seeking a detailed, comprehensive overview of all surgical topics that they can finish over the course of a rotation."
