'This book sets out to instruct the basic surgical trainee and to
cover the unified syllabus of the new MRCS and AFRCS Ed
examinations. I believe that it achieves this in a clear and
succinct manner... It fills the gap which currently exists between
the Royal College Course Manual and the purer surgical texts.'

'The design is refreshingly practical and integrates modern
clinical practice with the level of basic science demanded in the
current fellowship... with the new integrated curriculum the
content should be of use across the continuum of examination parts
and throughout Basic Surgical Training. Busy trainees will
appreciate the concise and practical additional reading recommended
in each section.' Journal of the Royal College of Surgeons of
Edinburgh
'This is one of the few surgical textbooks where coverage of
problems of the muscle and skeletal regions is included …The
selection of subjects follows recommendations given by the Royal
College of Surgeons and the book is well presented, in paperback,
with good print quality and a well-arranged layout. For all those
who want a comprehensive and clear survey of the most important
surgical subjects, this book is recommended without hesitation.'
Ake Andren-Sandberg, Haukeland Hospital, Norway
'Together [the editors] bring a wealth of publishing and examining
experience in order to co-ordinate the contributions from many
well-respected and extremely experienced chapter authors in a
formal manner. … I would have no hesitation in recommending this
book to trainees at an early stage of their training in order to
guide them effectively to the core syllabus topics and since it
provides a substantial portion of the detail required from the
MRCS.' Annals of The Royal College of Surgeons of England
